(Published November 2007) North American company Beaumont Technology is extending its MeltFlipper and Max mould feed optimisation hardware with the introduction of iMarc in-mould adjustable rheological control system.

MeltFlipper and Max enable injection moulders to balance mould filling and to alter filling patterns within specific cavities, eliminating a variety of waste and part quality issues.

The iMarc system is a development of the MeltFlipper and Max technologies, but with the additional capability of dynamic melt flow adjustment from the parting of the tool. This can be achieved, says Beaumont, without the need to change gate locations, part geometry or process conditions.
