Case Study: ProMed Molded Products achieves 50% cycle time reduction with KnowledgeLake and Nexus cold runner solution

Medical Components Firm Streamlines Document Management With Knowledgelake Solution

ProMed Molded Products, a medical and pharmaceutical products manufacturer, needed to overcome severe cycle-time and process limitations in its injection molding operation. Using an aging HCR cold deck with outdated technology, the company faced restricted flow paths, pressure drop in the cold runner, and frequent cleaning cycles while processing HCR raw material.

KnowledgeLake implemented a customized Nexus HTV cold runner with the Flowset Electric balancing system to match the material and existing mold more precisely. The solution dramatically reduced injection pressure, improved flow control in each cavity, and cut cleaning time and material buildup, delivering a 50% reduction in cycle time, 80% fewer cleaning cycles, and 50% less material waste.
