24 June 2026 // Eliminating Cavity Imbalance, FoPI 2027 Return, and Streamlining Hot Runner Assembly
In today’s brief:
💻 Digital Innovation: Moulding Optimisation launches Cav-Bal®PRO software, providing process engineers with a data-driven method to eliminate cavity imbalance. The standalone application uses proprietary algorithms to deliver a 90% reduction in filling instability without the need for expensive in-cavity sensors.
📆 Sector Networking: Plastribution confirms the return of its flagship Festival of Polymer Innovation for September 2027 in Warwickshire. The unique event will blend high-level technical insights on material developments with a relaxed festival atmosphere to foster industry collaboration.
🔧 Efficient Tooling: HASCO introduces the H4400 hot runner system, a ready-to-install plate assembly designed to streamline melt flow management. The modular plug-and-play solution optimises material usage, improves component quality, and reduces tool assembly times by up to 50%.
♻️ Circular Economy: IPL Brightgreen prepares to host members of the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management at its Castleford facility. The site visit moves past circular theory to showcase real-world rigid plastics recycling, operational quality controls, and customer specification management.
