New toy - Arburg injection moulder

[Robin Hewitt]

bigger machines can squirt more plastic before the liquid plastic begins to solidify.

You don't have an injection speed control? How passé


Hi Progomez

You want to make sure you get a copy of the manual with your moulder, without that you are totally screwed.

Depending on the diameter of the plasticizer screw fitted the manual will give you the shot volume. I have an 18mm screw which gives me usable shot volume of 19cc's.

good luck

Do you still have this machine Robin, did you ever make a mold for it?

[Robin Hewitt]

I still have it, I vastly underestimated mould making but I have not given up yet

How much stuff do you have stored on top of it?

You probably won't believe this, but last time I looked, one dust sheet.
I bought a box full of spare parts for it off ebay last week so I haven't given up yet
