Thermoplastic Two Shot
Compression– Preforms (hockey puck)
– Vertical only
– Independent cores and cavities
Injection– Runner system
– Horizontal or vertical
– Shuttle capabilities
– Thermoplastic excess material can be re-grinded and used again
Transfer– Uses runner system called a “cull”
– Compression process without screw and barrel
