Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently processing bioplastics in injection molding machines by controlling the retention time of the material.
Benefits:
- Improved processing of bioplastics.
- Enhanced efficiency in injection molding.
- Potential for more sustainable manufacturing practices.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in industries that require the use of bioplastics, offering a more sustainable and efficient production process.
Prior Art: Readers can start their search for prior art related to this technology by looking into patents or research papers on injection molding machines for bioplastics processing.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in bioplastics processing in injection molding machines to enhance manufacturing efficiency and sustainability.
Questions about Bioplastic Injection Molding Technology: 1. What are the environmental benefits of using bioplastics in injection molding? 2. How does the retention time control in the rotating member improve the processing of bioplastics in injection molding machines?
Original Abstract Submitted
An injection molding machine includes a cylinder configured to heat a molding material including bioplastics and a rotating member provided in the cylinder. The molding material is fed from upstream to downstream along a helical groove formed in the rotating member by the rotating member being rotated. The rotating member includes a first region and a second region downstream of the first region. The first region and the second region are different in shape, dimensions, or both. A retention time of the molding material in the first region is longer than in a case in which the first region has the same shape and the same dimensions as in the second region.
