Case Studies

In complex industrial equipment such as hot runner systems, precision is a necessity. Hot runner and stack injection mold tools are designed to improve machine efficiency and product output for high quantity parts. Typically composed of sprue bushing, manifold, nozzle and gate components, the equipment also uses mold channels that are maintained at melt temperature. 

Over a century old, the Banbury mixer remains a vital part of the rubber industry and has generated many variations of this heavy-duty machinery. Industrial mixers of this Banbury-type (also known as internal mixers) use intermeshing rotors enclosed in a mixing chamber that hold and blend together the various raw materials required to make the rubber compounds.

A hot melt adhesive dispensing machine is a critical tool in industries such as packaging, electronics, construction, and many industrial sectors. Controlling the application of the adhesive ensures the quality of the finished products as well as guarantees energy efficiency and efficient cleaning.

Did you know that 99% of all data that moves around the world is operated undersea? Internet traffic is driving demand for submarine data cables, which are fiber optic cables laid on the seabed and act as a main link in data transfer between continents.

To control the flow of cryogenic propellants such as liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen or liquid methane on launch vehicles, cryogenic valves are used within these rockets. To meet the industry’s goals of safety and success in these critical fluid control systems, there are requirements set for not only the launch vehicle manufacturer but also the designer of these valves and their components (e.g., sealing solutions).

A hot melt adhesive dispensing machine applies hot melt adhesives in controlled patterns and is commonly used in industries such as packaging, electronics, or woodworking. Adhesive is stored in a heated reservoir where it remains in molten state. When the machine is activated, the adhesive is pumped through a nozzle or dispensing gun.
