The Ultramelt project seeks to revolutionize injection moulding by applying ultrasonic energy to reduce melt viscosity, leading to lower energy consumption and faster production cycles. This innovation aims to enhance productivity in the thermoplastics processing industry.
Injection moulding is a large portion of the EU thermoplastics processing industry.
In 2008, its value was €55 bn, but fell to €43 bn in 2009.
The industry continues to contract, struggling against low cost economies.
While energy cost savings are welcome, cycle time dominates cost so reducing it is key & will increase productivity.
Cycle time is dominated by cooling time, which depends on many factors including melt temp.
Polymers are often heated well above the ideal melt temp. to aid injectio…
