AGS RECYCLINGFormulated regrind is fed directly into the injection molding machine to make parts. • Eliminates a manufacturing step and the associated cost/margin.
• Eliminates a material heat history.
• Eliminates finger pointing.

GETTING STARTED – NEW & EXISTING TOOLING1) Customer identifies part candidates that are best suited for the AGS process:
• Material intensive parts.
• AGStimator is available online at www.agstechnology.com to help assist in this process.
2) AGS Technology provides two quotations:
• Engineering grades of unfilled and filled thermoplastics such as ABS, ABS+PC, Acetal, Nylon, Polycarbonate, Polyester, etc…
• Virgin or currently specified material on the drawing. • Injectoblend™ recycled equivalent.
3) Customer sources or transfers tooling to AGS Technology:• AGS Technology submits PPAP and runs virgin or currently specified material to support customer’s production. • AGS Technology submits PPAP and sample parts made from Injectoblend™ recycled equivalent for customer to validate.• Establish breakpoint for transition to Injectoblend™ recycled parts based on formal approval by customer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSDoes tooling require any special modifications in order to run the Injectoblend™ recycled material?
• No special tooling modifications are required.
• AGS has developed its own tooling standards manual to ensure molds are designed, built, and optimized to run Injectoblend™ recycled material.
• AGS Injectoblend™ parts will be “as good or better” than parts made from virgin material.
