Anderson, IN
Overview:
Aegis Worldwide is curently partnered with a plastics manufacturer
Responsibilities
- Establish scientifically validated process windows for PP, PC, and similar resins.
- Define and maintain golden settings based on melt temperature and shear, injection velocity profiles, pack/hold pressure and time, cooling efficiency and mold temperature control.
