RAW MATERIAL PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE.
The unprecedented escalation in resin prices is putting the industry between a rock and a hard place. Chemical plants that have not yet resumed their full production, the recent ice storm situation in the southern United States, coupled with extraordinarily high demand for this year, has triggered the overall prices of all thermoplastic resins.
Time to cut costs!
AT PM TEC WE KNOW HOW TO SUPPORT YOU
WEIGHT REDUCTION
One way to dramatically reduce the weight of the injected products is to generate an optimal distribution of air bubbles in its structure. PM Tec can take charge of implementing a foaming process in your injection plant and thereby also reduce part defects, improve the energy consumption of your machine.
We have the knowledge and experience to analyze your product (existing or in development stage) to reduce wall thicknesses, intelligently distribute reinforcements and evaluate substitute resins to improve the structural performance of the component, using less material and taking into account your conditions of specific use in real life.

Structural optimization & homologation of resins
INJECTION TIMES OPTIMIZATION
A smart mold design helps you reduce cycle times by quickly and efficiently cooling the molten material. An asset as valuable to your business as the injection mold cannot be subjected to trial and error or costly rework. Our experience will allow you to achieve successful injections from the first shot.
Process optimization
Optimal mold and part design
Online monitoring and control
Our expert engineers can analyze your process to achieve significant cycle time reductions. PM Tec uses the best plastic injection simulation software to detect the optimal operating window so you can make more good parts in less time.
PM Tec developed the KERN IoP intelligent production system, specifically designed to monitor your injection process and keep it at the optimum point of operation on an ongoing basis. Know the reason for unplanned stops. Get alarms to prevent costly returns of defective parts. Reduce the energy consumption of your production.
With KERN IoP you have an expert injection engineer 24 hours a day on each of your machines.
REDUCTION OF REJECTION RATES
Elimination of defects
Bumps, burrs, warping, seam lines in unwanted places, incomplete fillings. All these are reasons for rejecting plastic parts that generate high costs during production and can become a headache if they reach the customer's hands. The complete analysis that PM Tec can do of your process, mold and product will allow you to eliminate your losses due to the generation of bad parts.
Continuous improvement through
Training
Aware that the only way for an injection company to produce optimally is if its staff knows the process in detail, PM Tec founded the Center of Excellence in Injection, CEI. This center provides specialized training in injection to all the personnel of its plant. From the technical and engineering area, through the directive and management area, with practical and theoretical courses so that everyone is on the same page regarding the plastic injection process.
Many of the manufacturers are working with their customers looking for substitute materials and have extended their lead times. The plastics industry has been running out of inventory, and has had to buy at unusually high prices, without being able to pass these costs on to its end customers.
Going from wanting to optimize to actually doing it is just a click away
Fact: About 70% of general injection costs correspond to raw materials
