Mold Maintenance Training Eases Molder's Growing Pains

摘要

Automation Plastics in Aurora, Ohio (automationpiastics.com), is a 32-year-old custom injection molcler with 50,500 ft~2 and 30 presses from 35 to 700 tons. Expertise in building and maintaining complex, precision tooling is the heart of its molding business. That's because the biggest chunk of its market is producing small, tight-tolerance valves and pumps for aerosol packaging. In the first eight months of this year, Automation Plastics molded 2 billion of these parts (mostly of nylon and acetal) for just one major customer.
