All set to start foam injection molding with Cellmould
Sustainable, flexible, and from a single source
Foam injection molding saves material, energy, and weight, and is rapidly gaining importance as a climate-friendly lightweight construction technology. With Cellmould, WITTMANN offers complete systems from a single source for the most efficient entry into the world of physical foaming.
The advantages
- Reduction in component weight with the same or improved properties
- No sink marks and less warping
- Savings in raw materials
- Lower clamping force, smaller machines
- Longer maximum flow paths
- New design possibilities
- Reduction in cycle time
- Lower costs per parts
From a single source
All technology components were developed in-house and have been produced in-house for more than 20 years.
- Cellmould-optimized screws, cylinders, and needle type shot-off nozzles
- Gas injectors and gas control modules – fully integrated into the machine control system
WITTMANN offers its own nitrogen and pressure generation units as an option. N2easy is flexible, sustainable, and retrofittable, and pays for itself even if you use just one gas cylinder per day.
Flexible application
Cellmould can be easily combined with other technologies:
- Thanks to variothermic temperature control or specific mold coatings, foamed visible components are produced with a very high surface quality.
- In extensive test series, WITTMANN was able to prove that PCR (post-consumer recyclate) can be processed into high-quality products using Cellmould foam injection molding.
