Plastics experts coming to your office: resin drying & moisture measurement, plus the ten principles of successful purging

We've a powerful lineup of free webinars and digital events lined up in the coming weeks. These events are easy to access from your computer no matter where you are, and are truly educational, not a sales spiel masquerading as free help. 

First up is our Injection Molding Expert webinar on July 29, 2011 at 12:00 ET. During this webinar, internationally recognized injection molding expert Mike Sepe will discuss which materials require drying, methods of drying with their advantages and disadvantages, and proper moisture measurement. It's easy to register for the webinar here. If you work with PC, PET or other hydrophilic plastics, this 60-minute webinar is a great investment of your time. Mike's presentation will run 40-45-minutes, and then there will be time for you to ask your questions.

Just a few days later the experts from Asaclean are presenting on "The ten principles of purging."  Purging is a hot topic for many reasons; those on the shop floor view it as a godsend, and say a good purge saves them time and money. The bean counters, though, sometimes worry about the costs. In this 60-minute webinar on August 3 at 14:00 ET, you'll learn the ten core principles of purging thermoplastic injection molding machines and extruders. Aspects of purging ranging from cost savings economics to environmental friendliness will be discussed.

It will be a great opportunity to sit the entire crew -operations and management- in front of a PC to learn best practices. Plus, as with all of our webinars, there will be plenty of time for you to ask the experts your specific questions. Find out more and register for this free webinar here.

A bit further out on the horizon, but nonetheless worth mentioning, will be our Virtual Event on  "Continuous Improvement in Injection Molding." The conference is virtual (online) but the benefits will be very real as we bring in experts from around the industry to speak on best practices for making better parts and more profit as an injection molder, while also reducing energy use. 

The virtual event will take place on September 8, 2011, from 10am-4pm EDT. Registration is free to attendees and is now available here.

Attendees at the event can interact via chat tools directly with industry experts and peers, download information, and view presentations, all from their computer. Attendees will benefit from a variety of engaging presentations, panel discussions, and chat sessions.

Conference session topics include a keynote address by a leading industry expert on energy use who will offer clear-cut cost/benefit analysis to help a molder decide which steps would carry the biggest payback for his operation. The keynote will be followed by speaking sessions and panels that include discussions on Energy Efficiency, Building Better Molds, and Cleanroom Injection Molding. A live Q&A will follow each session.

The virtual Sponsor Spaces will be staffed by suppliers, consultants, and others able to offer energy-saving equipment and services to the injection molding industry. These spaces will be equipped with white papers, videos, brochures, among other resources, and live-chat capabilities for conversations between attendees and suppliers.

Signature Sponsors for the virtual event include: ENGEL, Milacron LLC, TMC of America, Inc, and Wittmann. We look forward to welcoming you to this industry premier.
