Hydraulic
fracturing is growing- and so is the use of proppants, or “frac balls”. There
are three main reasons for choosing phenolic material for proppants. The first reason is its high compression load, or the
amount of pressure that phenolic material can withstand. Second, phenolic material
is resistant to chemical absorption, which makes it very durable for the oil & gas industry. Third, phenolic material is easy to mold and
capable of realizing specific gravities, which is needed for hydraulic
fracturing. </div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Calibri;"><em>I’ve always liked building things and taking them apart, and throughout high school my advisor pushed me to look into engineering. It was the perfect fit for me. Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering degrees you can get, with nine tracks at the undergraduate level. Manufacturing is one of the three tracks I chose to look into, mostly because it gives me the biggest opportunity to see problem-solving on a daily basis. </em></span></div>

For example, I’ve studied the difference between thermoset and thermoplastic polymers, but to see the difference in product and manufacturing processes has given me a unique perspective on the subject that I wouldn’t have otherwise had until after I graduated. Like most people, I learn better by seeing and doing things rather than reading it out of a textbook, and I believe this internship will help me greatly in future manufacturing and processing classes. </em></span></div>

This past year, like most years in Chicago, was characterized by fans eagerly awaiting the beginning of a new season, being disappointed by dismal early-season results and the inevitable realization that the Bears wouldn't make the playoffs, the White Sox/Cubs wouldn't either, and facing the awful truth that Derrick Rose would likely take more shots on a Little Tikes hoop with his baby son than in the United Center in a Bulls uniform.<br />
<br />
But we had the Black Hawks. From the very start, this team has been memorable, breath-taking. The 112th minute of last night's triple overtime win was as thrilling the first. It seems like everyone in Chicago is a fan now, many happily ignorant of the significance of blue lines, checks and icing, but eager to be part of the excitement.<br />
<br />
For us at Davies Molding, we can't help but be hockey fans because we’re surrounded by hockey reminders every single workday. Look at the pre-forms that become our knobs and handles - they look like pucks to us! Compression molding – thousands of pounds of pressure and hundreds of degrees of heat - turns these little blocks of plastic compounds into knobs, handles, dials and levers. We even do Hawks colors!<br />

So, put on your favorite hockey jersey. (Sorry, hockey experts, we mean <i>sweater</i>.) Find a comfortable chair and enjoy the games. But, when the ref drops the puck, don't forget, sometimes a puck is a lot more than just a puck!

We do, too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So we developed Soft-Touch & Two-Shot Plastic knobs, handles and custom components. They're molded with a soft thermoplastic overmolded top with a tough thermoplastic substrate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's the best of both worlds. Tough but gentle; offering a non-slip comfortable grip that is durable and resistant to scratches at the same time. Satisfy your creative urges and pick the sizes, styles and colors that work best for you. Logo printing and custom finishes are available, too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why does this matter? Differences in touch and color make identification simpler. Lobed clamping knobs molded with an engineered thermoplastic elastomer and rugged inner core are unique, durable and ergonomic, impacting safety, comfort and performance. And let's not forget style. Glass-reinforced nylon and plastic elastomer two-shot handles not only feel great and last, they look terrific, too. No wonder they're our most popular two-shot handles.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black;">Briefly explain how the CAD process works. </span><span style="color: #1f497d;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The customer will send in a design with specifications or a general design idea. Davies will then review all information and decide on the most economical way to meet the design requirements. I will then generate a 3-D model and subsequently a 2-D drawing that will meet the design requirements and also adhere to molding practices and standards. This design is reviewed with the customer for approval. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What type of programs do you use?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We use SolidWorks, which is a feature-based solid modeling program. We can generate 3-D models and 2-D drawings of part designs and tooling. We also are able to generate 3-D models for direct input into CNC machinery for tool design and models for SLA/stereo lithography proto types.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We also use AutoCAD for generating 2-D drawings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What is the biggest challenge of creating CADs of plastic knobs and handles? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When reverse engineering a part, getting the design/finished model to look exactly like the original part. Some of the older parts that customers supply to Davies Molding to design for them are from old hand-built molds, before they even had CAD. The part & mold designs were created with hand drawings, therefore, it is sometimes challenging to match some of the curvature of the design. The end result though is always a functional, ergonomically sound, and seamless design.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What was your favorite CAD project? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In general, my favorite projects would have to be when customers send in old compression molded parts and want Davies to redesign & manufacture them. Also any design project that progresses beyond the design, where a mold is built, and parts are manufactured. I also thoroughly enjoy designing Davies proprietary 2-shot design products. The reward for the designer is actually seeing the molded product and knowing the customer loves what we’ve done for them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">To list a few:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><span style="color: #1f497d;">Luger magazine end cap</span></b><span style="color: #1f497d;"> - This was a redesign of an old compression molded end cap that fit into the end of a magazine for a German Luger pistol. There were many tweaks along the way to get the part to look exactly like the original, but when the project was finally complete, you could not tell the difference between the Davies redesign and the original.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><span style="color: #1f497d;">Fan knob</span></b><span style="color: #1f497d;"> – Another old compression part redesign for Vintage Fans. It was a switch control knob for a ceiling fan. The redesign was very challenging, but very rewarding. The end product looked great and the customer loved it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><span style="color: #1f497d;">Water tank – </span></b><span style="color: #1f497d;">A food equipment manufacturer wanted us to redesign a water tank that was made from sheet metal into a plastic one. This was an extensive design process but resulted in a great functional product that the customer loved. The best part was the money we saved the customer in converting a sheet metal part to plastics.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">How is CAD used effectively in Davies’ manufacturing process?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #244061;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">CAD is most effective in manufacturing because of its ability to make quick changes to models/drawings. Models and drawings are associative, so changes to designs are quick and easy. Most importantly, this allows the manufacturing process to flow smoothly without potentially costly interruptions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Yes, we serve the fastener, automotive, and medical industries with our extensive knobs and handles, but did you know we also manufacture frac balls for the oil & gas industry? Consumers have seen a decrease in heating bills this winter due to an increase in natural gas production and supply, primarily from hydraulic fracturing or fracking. Davies Molding LLC, a custom molder since 1933, produces custom molded frac and diverter balls used in the hydraulic fracturing process. Frac balls can be molded using injection molded materials such as PEEK and nylon or thermoset phenolic materials.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We often get calls from new buyers wondering what type of mountings we offer. Our highly-trained customer service staff pleasantly explains the difference in mountings and then buyers request a quote based on the mounting that fits their particular application. Here's an infographic that helps explain the different mounting options we stock to help you choose what is right for you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How many years have you worked at Davies Molding? <b><i><span style="color: #17365d;">[Scott Hill] </span></i></b><span style="color: #17365d;">7 years</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Prior to Davies how many years have you worked in manufacturing? <b><i><span style="color: #17365d;">[Scott Hill] </span></i></b><span style="color: #17365d;"> I started in the plastic field March 19<sup>th</sup> 1984. I first began as a tool room apprentice, then journey man mold maker and then into processing and management. I think the start as a mold maker really helped me understand what was really going on when a part was being produced. Right out of college I worked a year in casting before I eventually started my career in plastics. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What is the biggest challenge of molding plastic? <b><i><span style="color: #17365d;">[Scott Hill] </span></i></b><span style="color: #17365d;">Holding the tight tolerances and so many different materials available today</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What is your favorite part to mold? Least favorite? <b><i><span style="color: #17365d;">[Scott Hill] </span></i></b><span style="color: #17365d;">I can’t really say I have a favorite or least favorite since I’ve been molding custom parts for so long. I can say that I have seen quite a few unique and challenging molds, materials and presses.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Briefly explain how the 2-shot soft touch molding works. <b><i><span style="color: #17365d;">[Scott Hill] </span></i></b><span style="color: #17365d;">The mold is set up in a way that you can produce the substrate or base part with one shot while the over mold is being added with another shot. After the mold opens the press will eject the finished parts then rotates so another cycle can begin. One half of the mold is making the substrate while the other half of the mold is getting the over mold to complete the finished part. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What type of press is used? <b><i><span style="color: #17365d;">[Scott Hill] </span></i></b><span style="color: #17365d;">There are many different manufactures for multiple shot presses. The obvious is that is must have a horizontal and vertical barrel. Many different materials can be used for the substrate or base and for the over mold as well.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What are the challenges of molding using the thermoplastic elastomer over mold?<b><i><span style="color: #17365d;">[Scott Hill] </span></i></b><span style="color: #17365d;"> The critical part is making sure the two materials you are using will adhere together.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another custom project is a control screen of a commercial boiler called a bezel. Formerly made using sheet metal material, this new design made out of injection molded ABS provides a multitude of benefits over the old metal bezel. The main reason this part was converted to plastic was to provide a better appearance. However, the new plastic part also provides improved product features such as rust-resistance, lower-cost, and improved durability. Are you working on redesigning your product? If so, consider replacing your metal parts with custom molded plastic parts to improve your product's design, cost, and durability. Questions?
