An introduction to an innovative new light weighting technology for Injection Moulding Machines which can be easily retro fitted and uses water as the blowing agent. A replacement mixing nozzle is the only change needed to the injection moulding machine.

1. Light weighting Technology for
Injection Moulding

2.  A retro fit system that uses water to foam
the polymer in the nozzle during the
injection moulding process

3. Benefits
• Reduces weight and polymer cost in the moulded item
• Reduces cycle times and energy consumption.
• Reduces plastic weights into waste streams and landfill.
• Maintains recyclability – no contamination by the
blowing agent - just water.

4. Energy & cycle time savings

5. What about Strength

6. How is it better or different to its competitors?
• Produces foam in the nozzle only, one shot at a
time and only when the machine is running.
• Material within the hopper and barrel remain virgin.
• Only uses water to create the foam.
• Low cost true retro fit system- easy to install,
operate and transfer to other moulding machines.
• Uses existing moulds no changes needed
