As an advanced manufacturing technology Laser Ablation expands on traditional manufacturing technologies allowing design, engineering and converting firms to expand their portfolio of capabilities. With this step up in technology current users in the marketplace are seeing numerous means of increasing product value while simultaneously decreasing production lead time and cost. If interested in learning more, join the experts at R&D/Leverage, a leading supplier of molds for rigid packaging with years of experience utilizing this “micro-machining” technology. The 60 minute webinar will include detailed instruction on how the technology works, where in the manufacturing process it is most effectively implemented and the concept of using Laser Ablation as a complimentary process to traditional manufacturing technologies of milling, EDM and possibly chemical etching. In addition to this technology outline in-depth case studies of past projects will be reviewed as baseline data to aid in understanding key process metrics such as, lead time and processing cycle comparatively to traditional manufacturing processes.
View webinar detailsAs a processor, you're probably no stranger to the typical purging applications such as color and material changes. You're also well-aware of the benefits of using a good purging compound. Or are you? Are you using your purging compound to its fullest potential? Is your purge saving your company time and money on every application possible? This webinar takes a slightly different approach to addressing processing issues that can be resolved by purging. It explains how adopting a "Preventative Maintenance" program using periodic purging can further help save on changeover time, resin and purge material and ultimately money.

This is a two part presentation. Part 1 covers design techniques to consider for improving your existing conveying system or to plan a new system. The focus will be on Velocity, Vacuum and System Hardware Components. In Part 2, actual viewer applications and questions will be addressed live, and we invite all registrants to submit their topics in advance for a free evaluation and possible inclusion the presentation.
View webinar detailsThe key to drying PET efficiently is to minimize heat and airflow while meeting moisture and IV requirements...automatically. Processors are not inclined to put an operational dryer on the trash heap in order to get a new, energy-efficient model. On the other hand, when a new line is being added, the whole drying system has to be reviewed - from the system layout to the dryer including the usefulness of the control and options like gas-fired process heaters. Maximizing energy savings makes good sense in the long term as well as the short term.
View webinar detailsInstalling a resin conveying system based on design principles developed 30-40 years ago could saddle your company with unnecessary inefficiencies, high maintenance and inflexible conveying parameters for years to come. This webinar will discuss innovative, cost-effective concepts and designs for in-plant conveying applications for extrusion, injection molders and blow molders. A number of new, innovative technologies will be presented.
