Advantages of centralized material supply system in automated production

Normally, when full-automatic production is not possible, human labor must be relied upon as an auxiliary. Due to the involvement of factors in the production process, each production cycle is bound to have differences, resulting in different degrees of variation in the quality of the parts. Especially in enterprises that implement three-shift, there is a significant difference in the quality of parts produced by different shifts, which is caused by the different personal skills and work attitudes of operators in different shifts. Automated production on the other hand, can effectively avoid this phenomenon, as the equipment will strictly follow the input instructions to carry out production.

Automated production can stabilize the cycle and the factors of human shutdown, which will significantly improve production efficiency. The centralized feeding system is a system that transports plastic pellets in bags or loose form to a silo for through a hopper using pneumatic conveying, and then from the silo to a drying system for drying treatment, and finally through pipelines to be distributed to each injection molding by a central switching device. At the same time, an automatic recovery system collects and crushes sprue waste, and reuses it.

The advantages of the centralized feeding are that it has achieved unmanned continuous molding operation throughout the day; it can regenerate and use sprue recovery materials in an all-automatic manner; it can change the of injection molding machines and multi-variety, multi-color materials as needed, making color automation possible; through computer central monitoring, it saves labor and time, improves production, and saves energy.

The centralized feeding system has overcome the disadvantages of single-machine operation that are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and for injection parts by multiple machines and in large quantities, the economic benefits are significant.
