We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Moulding Machine",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Centre targets solar panel research from
Sabic Innovative Plastics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Sabic Innovative Plastics' centre of excellence helps customers use the latest in advanced thermoplastic technologies for the mass production of solar panels".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Controller improves injection moulding consistency from
Eurotherm: "With Intellimould, process changes are made automatically while each part is being moulded".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Sabic Innovative Plastics
concerning its GE Plastics LNP Verton Xtreme compound
- take a look at Consistency improved for glass fibres
which says: "LNP Verton Xtreme compound grades enable customers to achieve the excellent mechanical properties of long-glass-fibre re-inforcement while boosting quality and consistency".
Take a look also at the news release from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems, Energy efficiency installation saves money,
as well as Scada system takes charge of greensand preparation from Citect,
and Multicomponent moulding demystified from Distrupol.
