The plastic runner from each injection molding cycle was discarded, resulting in material waste and unnecessary raw material costs
A grinder was installed, and the robot was programmed to deposit the runner directly into the grinder.

The recovered material is reused in production, achieving a 100% runner recovery rate
Reduced raw material waste.
Recovered and reused 100% of the runner material.
Reduced virgin resin consumption.
Improved material utilization and sustainability.
Generated approximately $15,980 USD in annual gross material savings.
