Sustainable Manufacturing in Injection Molding: Development of Energy Map

Abstract:

Plastic injection molding machine consume high electricity during manufacturing process which can increase carbon emissions indirectly. The research aim is to generate an energy map for plastic injection molding machine. It involved several experimental investigations by having to record the electrical energy consumption of the machine. The results were than analyzed to develop an energy map for plastic injection molding operation. The results revealed effect of different parameter setting towards electrical energy consumption in injection molding. From this energy map, it can be used by the manufacturer in order to determine the optimized setting parameter in injection molding. This in turn will help to reduce the electrical energy in injection molding process. The reduction of electrical energy will not only reduce the manufacturing cost, but it also can help to reduce the carbon emission emitted during the generation of electrical energy at the power plant. Eventually this research will support sustainable manufacturing processes especially in injection molding industries.
