Customers can choose which is for the best for them by having a mould audit performed by SIPA experts in your field. The advantage of mould conversion over buying a new mould lies in the lower capital investment involved. The company’s range of alternatives benefits from SIPA’s special target reducing energy consumption. They furnish customers with the option of owning some components replaced by new ones so that you can improve preform quality (refurbishment), or getting the mould converted to produce a totally new (and quite often lighter) design of preform. With better distribution flow plus a higher water temperature (14 -15 °C rather then 8 °C), water consumption is minimised and performance with regards to condensation reduction is improved. The hot half of each one SIPA mould requires maintenance merely after five million cycles, and it is easy to maintain components such as piston, flange O-rings and pin valves without opening the main mould. The existing mould shoe is reused, along with return of investment is more rapidly. The state of wear of mould components can be assessed in their own plant, and different options on refurbishing or conversion can then be proposed.. The mould refurbishing and conversion process services complement SIPA’s extensive in-house capacity to develop and produce innovative high performance molds and scorching runners in-house
