Amerimold 2019: Fueling Growth One Mold Engineer At a Time

Do make it a point to swing by the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Mold Technologies Division’s (MTD) booth 311 while you are attending the Amerimold Expo. This division of SPE is all about fostering growth in the mold building and engineering profession by encouraging the training of mold builders at the apprentice level, supporting the continuing development of established mold builders, and by gathering and exchanging information on materials and mold performance.

Everyone is invited and encouraged to get involved as a member or active board member. Stop by Booth 311 during Amerimold to speak with a board member to find out what this Division offers.

Of special note is the MTD’s annual announcement and presentation of its Mold Maker and Mold Designer of the Year Awards. These will be presented at the SPE MTD booth 311 at 1pm on Thursday, June 13. These awards give recognition to individuals who not only are regarded as technical leaders, but also work to 'give back' to our industry.

Hot Runner Demo

June 13, 1:30 pm Greg Osborn, Chair Elect, Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), Mold Technologies Division and Jerry Janczk, Hot Runner Maintenance Superintendent, Alliance Specialties and Laser Sales will present a demonstration on the following in booth 1023:

The temperature of hot runner systems is controlled by a series of heaters and thermocouples that are designed to work in conjunction with the temperature controller to keep the system at the desired temperature. Misdiagnosing temperature control issues caused by defective or incorrectly wired components can make finding root cause and solving the problem difficult and time consuming.
