Purging Compound Reduces Injection Molding Reject Count from 200 to 5 Pieces

by Asaclean Staff on November 13, 2011

“Yesterday we did color change from blue to natural on lifting rings. In the past we used to make about 200pcs. rejects due to discoloration. After using ASACLEAN purging compound we were able to reduce scrap to 5pcs. We use 50lb. purging compound in this process. According to procedure, we should theoretically use only 11 lb. for an 85oz. barrel. Since we’ve never done this before I assume this is the reason why we use large amount the first time because not only blue color was coming out from the barrel.”
