The Xaloy EasyMelt? injection molding screw is a multi-purpose screw combining the simplicity and economy of a conventional three-zone screw with the productivity and quality benefits of optimum material feeding, melting and metering zones.

Benefits

  • Faster screw recovery
  • Reduced short shots
  • Improved temperature control

    • Features

  • Optimum resin-tailored feed depth
  • Optimum zone length
  • Optimum metering depth

    • Applications

  • Highly glass-filled materials
  • Materials with metallic powders or mica fillers
  • Shear-sensitive polymers
  • Undemanding processes

    • On-the-money metering

    Insufficient depth in the metering zone for a given material can reduce plasticating rates by 28% or more, but for some resins, too deep of a metering depth will not apply the proper amount of shear on the resin to allow for a uniform melt to be delivered to the mold. That?s why a metering depth that?s just right really pays off.

    Efficient melting

    Thanks to its resin-tailored feed depth, compression ratio and zone lengths, the Xaloy? EasyMelt? screw delivers fully melted material to the metering zone. This avoids a major cause of intermittent short shots: partially filled flights and pressure instability in the metering zone.
