The Xaloy Twinshot® Multi-Material Molding is a viable alternative for multi-material molding applications, providing a cost effective solution to entering into co-injection, reducing capital equipment expenditures by 80 to 90% over traditional machines. The system operates with a single screw and a single barrel, injecting two materials in a single shot mold fill. First part of the shot is skin, the second part is core, resulting in a three-layer or “sandwich” construction A-B-A.
Features
- A single recovery injection machine that follows generally accepted, single injection unit molding practices and responds to standard single screw/barrel troubleshooting methodology
- Two independent melting sections (one for the skin material and the other for the core) with multi-zone temperature control
- Available on new single unit injection molding machines and also retrofittable to current single screw/barrel injection machines with a minimum of 20:1 L/D
Applications
- Cold sprue injection processes utilizing multi-materials
- Full flexibility with change to a single material molding machine over from two materials on-the-fly
- Lower cost through encapsulation of off spec, regrind or recycled materials
- Improved quality with encapsulation of foamed material to reduce sink, warpage, and improved strength-to-weight-ratio
- Enhanced cosmetic appearance through use of high quality material over reinforced material
- Reduced maintenance cost with easy retrofit and easy maintenance
- Easier operation with simple set-up, low operational complexity, ease to learn
- Wide range of part designs are feasible with expansive range of material combinations to combine technical with cosmetic product aspects to meet end customer requirements.
