As the year comes to an end due to holidays and vacations, many companies encounter a slowdown of manufacturing or at times even a temporary shutdown. Many processors utilize this period of time for maintaining their molds and facility. As a result the plastic processors will look into mold storage products (long term and short term preventives), mold and machine components, mold cleaners, and many other products that are required for their specific needs.

Processors usually have project deadlines toward the end of the calendar year and immediate product availability is a necessity. For all of their common supplies, equipment, parts, and anything in between, a quick delivery is a necessity. Each year Next Day Air becomes much more common and popular for delivery.

Processors are also nearing the end for their yearly budget. With any available budget that remains, several processors look into equipment purchases for a variety of reasons. Automation of their processes is carefully scrutinized to improve their efficiencies. Many facilities also look into repairing worn screws, barrels, or pieces of equipment if it is more beneficial than buying new.

IMS wants to remind our customers that once their facilities start back up, make sure to remember to soft start your machines. It is more common than most people think to cold start your machine. This practice greatly increases the chance for heater bands to fail, screws to bend, tips to snap, and a host of other problems that could occur.
