A centralised material supply system minimises contamination of the injection moulding production process caused by raw materials and dust, thereby helping to maintain a clean production workshop. The system’s unique centralised dust collection system facilitates easier cleaning and meets the environmental standards required for Class 100,000 cleanrooms, whilst also reducing noise levels. Ultimately, this enables the creation of an unmanned, automated production workshop, thereby establishing an image of modern factory management.

A central material supply system minimises contamination of the injection moulding production process by raw materials and dust, thereby maintaining a clean production workshop. In particular, the system’s centralised dust recovery system facilitates easier cleaning and meets the environmental standards required for Class 100,000 cleanroom operations, whilst also reducing noise levels. It enables unmanned, automated production workshops, thereby establishing the image of modern factory management. Installation procedure for the central material supply system:

1. Accurate dimensions for the placement of the machines.

2. Piping layout.

3. Layout planning for the raw material storage room and system control centre.

4. Inspect the structural integrity of the factory walls to determine their load-bearing capacity for the piping.

5. When installing supports, take care to avoid interference with overhead cranes, ceilings and columns.

6. Route the central material supply pipework to minimise the number of bends.

7. Where conditions permit, keep the pipework height to approximately 3 metres to facilitate installation and subsequent maintenance.

8. When connecting steel pipes, ensure that pipe clamps are aligned exactly at the centre.

9. Air leaks in the pipework are strictly prohibited.

10. The length of the feed section connecting to the central material supply hopper should be approximately 3–4 metres.

11. During pipe installation, ensure that the injection moulding machine branch pipes are correctly aligned; misalignment will affect the aesthetic appearance.

The central feeding system utilises microcomputer-based centralised automatic control, enabling 24-hour continuous feeding of granules. Multiple small microcomputers control the colouring process for each moulding machine individually, ensuring accurate metering and uniform mixing, whilst allowing for flexible colour changes to meet the requirements for multi-colour and multi-variety products. The feed rate can be flexibly adjusted according to the production output of different moulding machines.
