Money Saving Tip
Swap Valve
 The
Smartflow Swap Valve is a simple, manually selectable device that
supplies cooling water to the mold during processing. Secondly, it
supplies air to purge the water from the mold, cooling lines, Supply
and Return manifolds prior to tool change. It also provides a
manual vent to release built-up air pressure within the cooling water
loop after purging.
There are many benefits that the Swap Valve
can offer when installed. Saving 15-20 minutes of unproductive
tool change time by eliminating the tasks of draining multiple supply
and return hoses, plus cleaning-up water spills. It protects tools from
corrosion build-up during downtime and storage by evacuating water
quickly and thoroughly. The full port design permits maximum cooling
water flow at minimum pressure drop. Please click here

Solution Center
Customer Question
We
are a PVC injection molder and are having a terrible time with the
outgassing of hydrochloric acids which is causing great discomfort to
our machine operators. We also have an issue with pitting and
oxidization of our molds and other metal machinery in the
vicinity. Do you have a solution to our problem?
Solution
To
eliminate outgassing we recommend our Mold Saver Release Agent, it is a
combination release agent and acid neutralizer. A unique release
formulation that utilizes a non-silicone, paintable release oil, that
won’t interfere with post-molding decoration of the finished
part. To this release oil we add a powerful base material that
constantly works to neutralize the acids as they are being emitted from
the PVC resin at the point of production, eliminating the problem of
outgassing. As you reapply the mold release, the neutralizing
agent is strengthened to provide constant protection against the acids.

As
for pitting and oxidation while molding PVC, the release of the acids
can lead to plate-out and resin buildup on the tool or mold surface.
Our Slide Resin Remover (aka “The Stripper”) provides a quick and easy
solution to aid with the removal of this problematic resin. Resin
Remover is a production product, designed to be used with the mold
still in the machine and a surface temperature above 175’F. The
chemicals in Resin Remover work with the heat to break down and soften
the old, unwanted residue. After approximately 90 seconds, the
mold is put back into production. The fresh resin injected into the
mold cavity will combine with the unwanted resin material and strip it
from the mold, leaving behind a clean, residue-free surface. Using
Resin Remover saves time and money as compared to taking a machine out
of service and sending the mold to the tool room for manual cleaning.
