Definition
Material resulting from a molding process, mostly cold runner. This material is ground and recirculated into the molding process.
Material resulting from a molding process, mostly cold runner. This material is ground and recirculated into the molding process.
In this type of runner, plastic is injected through a cold channel exposed on the face of the mold. It allows for faster cooling, although it increases the projected area.
Counted each time the reground material is reintroduced into the molding process. If it is reground again, it will be considered as second generation.
Process composed of a series of stages: disposal, transfer, grinding, cleaning, distribution, and reentry to the molding process.
Set of tools and equipment through which previously molded material will be transformed to be reused in a new process.
Encompasses the time the plastic takes from being designated as part of the regrinding process, through its transport, grinding, and reentry into the molding process.
