MeltFlipper®
BTI has identified and solved the plastics industry’s major source of product variations. In nearly every instance, imbalanced filling in either a hot or cold runner system is mainly a result of shear induced non-uniform material properties within the mold's melt delivery system. The resultant material property variations between cavities include pressures, melt temperature, viscosities, and mechanical properties of the molded parts. These variations often lead to problems such as long mold commissioning time, dimensional instability, flash, sink, short shots, high injection pressure, long cycle times, high scrap rates and a host of other molding issues.
This is where melt management technologies come into play. BTI’s acclaimed MeltFlipper® technologies offer a root cause solution to material flow and balance problems. These technologies offer the first true balance of pressure, temperature, viscosity, and material properties throughout the entire mold.
Bringing Balance to the Plastics Industry
Although MeltFlipper technologies may be retrofitted into existing molds, global leading companies are now sensitized to the fact that imbalances will occur in any new mold they are building and therefore have standardized on MeltFlipper technologies in the initial mold design stage.
