THE COMPANY

Dymotek, an American company specializing in 2-shot and liquid silicone molds that brings innovative plastic molding and injection solutions to the market, has achieved a 29% reduction in cycle time and therefore increased machine performance thanks to the Nexus built-in solution.

Initial situation & challenges

Dymotek carried out a 1K injection molding process using an Arburg injection molding machine with linear demolding device and a Wittmann robot. Furthermore, an LSR dosing unit with piston pump was used. Before the project started, the heating time was 8 seconds and the total cycle time was 21 seconds. The greatest challenge was the optimization in an ongoing process that had already been running for years in a supposedly stable manner.

Process optimization at it's best Higher machine performance

Despite previously unrecognized potential, the Nexus Servomix x200 has minimized the cycle time by 29%, which means that the process window is now larger than before. Thanks to a minimized deviation in the mixing ratio of 0.2% and less, the mechanical properties are now absolutely constant. The all-electric dispensing system from Nexus thus ensures maximum precision and optimizes Dymotek's production processes many times over.

Higher process stability and an impressive 29% cycle time reduction - all possible thanks to the Nexus Servomix dosing system!

The total cycle time has been reduced from 21 seconds to 15 seconds - a time saving of 29%.

Thanks to the constant 1:1 mixing ratio of the x200, the deviation is constant below than 0.2%.
