The injection molding process steps

Understanding Plastic Injection Molding - The Process  

Injection Molding, a technology created in 1940s has revolutionized product design and mass production because of the flexibility it offers. What is Injection Molding?
It is a process that forces the molten materials into a Mold or a Die. The material takes the physical properties of the mold's cavity or hollow, after cooling down. Every plastic product you see today experiences this process. For example, car dashboards, soft drinks caps etc. all experience injection molding process. The materials can differ such as plastic to metal; anything that is malleable. The process that uses plastic as a material is known as Plastic Injection Molding.
Plastic Injection Molding- The process
Raw materials:
The most widely used raw materials for plastic molding are: Thermosetting Plastic, Elastomers and Thermoplastic Polymers. These materials are used because they offer greater viscosity.
Equipment:
The basic parts of plastic molding machines are material hopper, heating unit, plunger etc. The purpose of Presses (a machine part) is to pressurize the molten material into the hollows or mold's cavity to give the material proper shape. They work in accordance of Tonnage (It is capability of the machine to apply clamping force, in order to keep the molds in closed position) Ratings. The tonnage may vary from 5 tons to 8000 tones depending on the stiffness of the material.
The injection molding Processing steps:
Step 1:
Melting:- our ( mouldplastic injection molding company) Injection Molding Machine has a broad and cylindrical melting unit, which converts the material (polymers) into a liquid state under extreme temperature and pressure. An auger with an opening at the bottom, receives the polymer or material. With the use of a hydraulic motor, auger opens into the melting unit. The liquids are restricted from entering into the molds through a valve system.
Step 2:
Pouring liquefied material into mold cavity or hollows:- After the heating process is over, the liquid material is poured into Plastic Injection Mold by the auger, to give the material a desired shape. The molds are pressurized to keep them whole and in correct position. To make sure no air space is left, the material is poured twice or thrice.
Step 3:
Cooling:- After the molding, the entire mold is introduced to cooling for dense solidification of the plastic jabs, which exhausts the majority of time of the complete manufacturing procedure. The cooling is completed by passing air or water over the frenzied moulds or bringing in cold water through tiny holes on the mould surface.
Step 4:
De-Molding: Once the cooling procedure is completed, the dense plastic injections are prepared for removal from the molds. The clamp on the mold is unlocked to unbolt the mould and obtain the injection. The whole process is done and the mold is now prepared for the next unit development.
