Package Cost Reduction Strategies Q&A

  • Asked August 31st, 2010

    The types of tooling updates that can lead to increased productivity and fast cycle times are things such as:

    1. Installing more accurate temperature control systems. This type of system recovers the heat loss quickly and allows you to operate at high speed rates.
    2. Adding heating zones, which allows you to process the materials faster since you are decreasing the time that it takes to process the materials by driving more heat into the material in less time.
    3. Modifying the tool for optimum flow rates of vacuum and pressure, again leading to fast cycle times.
