Ideal for technicians, supervisors, engineers, and managers, the online courses and labs in this training package are the perfect way to prepare for the Injection Molding Professional Certification Exam, which is included in the package.

Routsis Training’s globally recognized Professional Certification demonstrates a broad understanding of the injection molding industry.

In order to attain certification, candidates must have a working knowledge of injection molding safety, machinery, processing, tooling, materials, quality, and current industry best practices.

This course will benefit any personnel that's involved with material handling and describes the effects that moisture can have on molded part properties during processing. Polymer classification and what occurs during processing for each type is also explained.

The course teaches how to establish and maintain a scientific processing that properly decouples 1st stage fill from 2nd stage pack, which leads to improved process efficiency and much higher repeatability.

This comprehensive 2-part program is essential for anyone involved with die setting, including process technicians and supervisors. Topics covered: safety, preparation, documentation, mold removal, mold installation, and process startup.

Designed specifically for injection molders, Routsis Training’s intermediate-level purging courses introduce a scientific approach to material purging.

These courses discuss important purging concepts and detail common procedures for purging plastic material from the injection screw, barrel, and nozzle — and techniques for cleaning hot runner systems and gate drops.

Building on the concepts outlined in the intermediate purging courses, these advanced online lessons continue with a detailed discussion of common purging compounds — including resin-based, mechanical, and chemical compounds.

In the final course, users are shown how to effectively compare different purging procedures and compounds – and guided through completion of the Purging Analysis Worksheet, which is included with the online course.

Material handlers need to know how different types of polymers are best dried and prepared for reliable processing. These courses show participants how proper plastics material handling and drying is critical to produce a consistent product.

Participants are provided with the knowledge base required to identify and troubleshoot over twenty-five of the most common injection molded part defects. Users will also come away with a better understanding of how to best process, document and maintain a reliable scientific injection molding process.

Processors and technicians are presented with industry-proven procedures and techniques which can be used to easily improve the efficiency and profitability of any molding application.

Molders will be able to make more educated choices relating to
closed loop process control systems after taking this online course. How process control reduces variation is also covered.

Our intermediate Scientific SkillSet™ labs provide a unique and valuable learning experience for your setup technicians, processors, and engineers. Only from Routsis Training, these innovative courses combine detailed, step-by-step online instruction with practical hands-on labs and worksheets.

This course grouping is specifically selected to prepare scientific molders for the Advanced Certification Exam for Scientific Processors, which is included in the package. In order to ensure candidates have both working knowledge and demonstratable skills, the evaluation for this certification exam is conducted in two separate stages: an online test and hands-on skills testing.

This globally-recognized professional certification demonstrates an enhanced understanding of scientific molding knowledge and skills – ranging from an understanding of scientific processing and documentation to having a fundamental working knowledge of die setting, material handling, purging, troubleshooting, and tooling.

Routsis Training’s globally recognized Injection Molding Maintenance Certification demonstrates a broad understanding of important maintenance considerations, concepts, and procedures.

In order to attain certification, candidates must have a working knowledge of injection molding safety, robotics, drying, machinery, materials, purging, robotics, parameters, hydraulics, and maintenance — and demonstrate a solid understanding of current industry best practices.

Delivering high-quality molded plastic parts to your customers is the main goal of any injection molding operation. In order to pass this exam, the candidate must demonstrate working knowledge of injection molding and quality assurance.

Test topics include important safety concerns, the molding process, injection mold basics, plastics materials and drying, plastic part quality, mathematics, print reading, and the use of measuring tools for quality inspection.
