This not only enriches our models, but also provides customers with injection molding solutions that improve production efficiency and save investment. According to different raw materials and products, we have also developed a variety of PET bottle preform injection molding machines with excellent performance, PVC pipe fittings injection molding machines, PC injection molding machines, PA nylon tie injection molding machines, agricultural drip irrigation products injection molding machines, etc.
Plastic injection molding is the most commonly used manufacturing process for the fabrication of plastic parts. A wide variety of products are manufactured using injection molding, which vary greatly in their size, complexity, and application. The custom injection mold process requires the use of an injection molding machine, raw plastic material, and a mold. The plastic is melted in the injection molding machine and then injected into the mold, where it cools and solidifies into the final part.
Application
1. Plastic injection molding is used to produce thin-walled plastic parts for a wide variety of applications, one of the most common being plastic housings. 2. Plastic housing is a thin-walled enclosure, often requiring many ribs and bosses on the interior. These housings are used in a variety of products including household appliances, consumer electronics, power tools, and as automotive dashboards. 3. Other common thin-walled products include different types of open containers, such as buckets. Injection molding is also used to produce several everyday items such as toothbrushes or small plastic toys. 4. Many medical devices, including valves and syringes, are manufactured using custom injection mold as well.
Advantages of Plastic Injection Molding
1. Can form complex shapes and fine details 2. Excellent surface finish 3. Good dimensional accuracy 4. High production rate 5. Low labor cost 6. Scrap can be recycled
Plastic Injection Molding Process
The process cycle for injection molding is very short, typically between 2 seconds and 2 minutes, and consists of the following four stages: 1. Clamping: Prior to the injection of the material into the mold, the two halves of the mold must first be securely closed by the clamping unit. 2. Injection: The raw plastic material, usually in the form of pellets, is fed into the injection molding machine, and advanced towards the mold by the injection unit. 3. Cooling: The molten plastic that is inside the mold begins to cool as soon as it makes contact with the interior mold surfaces. As the plastic cools, it will solidify into the shape of the desired part. 4. Ejection: After sufficient time has passed, the cooled part may be ejected from the mold by the ejection system, which is attached to the rear half of the mold. When the mold is opened, a mechanism is used to push the part out of the mold. After the injection molding cycle, some post processing is typically required. During cooling, the material in the channels of the mold will solidify attached to the part. This excess material, along with any flash that has occurred, must be trimmed from the part, typically by using cutters. For some types of material, such as thermoplastics, the scrap material that results from this trimming can be recycled by being placed into a plastic grinder, also called regrind machines or granulators, which regrinds the scrap material into pellets. Due to some degradation of the material properties, the regrind must be mixed with raw material in the proper regrind ratio to be reused in the injection molding process.
Materials for Plastic Injection Molding
There are many types of materials that may be used in the injection molding process. Most polymers may be used, including all thermoplastics, some thermosets, and some elastomers. When these materials are used in the injection molding process, their raw form is usually small pellets or a fine powder. Also, colorants may be added in the process to control the color of the final part. The selection of a material for creating injection molded parts is not solely based upon the desired characteristics of the final part. While each material has different properties that will affect the strength and function of the final part, these properties also dictate the parameters used in processing these materials. Each material requires a different set of processing parameters in the injection molding process, including the injection temperature, injection pressure, mold temperature, ejection temperature, and cycle time.
