The video below shows an Engel 100 ton machine running a 32 cavity
mold on a 4.75 second cycle. It is fitted with a pair of MS-40 Mould
Shields and an RMC-45 Mould Chute, feeding
to a conveyor.
This machine makes over 18,000 parts every 24 hours. Prior to installing
the mould shields and chute, they were losing 480 parts per day
or 2.6% of production. Since installing the IPS products, this loss
has been reduced to 10 parts per day or 0.055% of production. They
have 4 machines running the same product all operating round the
clock.
These 4 machines operate 365 days a year. Before IPS products were
installed the loss in cash terms was over £100,000 per year.
After the shields and chute were installed losses dropped to £18,000.
This represents an annual saving of around £82,000 for an
outlay of approximately £1400!
