Injection Molding

Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process for producing plastic parts with high precision and efficiency. It involves injecting molten plastic into a mold to create a solid part.

OUR PROCESS

1

Clamping

• Mold Setup: The mold, consisting of two halves (cavity and core), is securely clamped together by the clamping unit.
• Clamping Force: The clamping unit applies significant force to keep the mold closed during injection.

2

Injection

• Material Feeding: Plastic granules or pellets are fed from a hopper into the injection unit.
• Melting: The plastic is heated and melted by the screw and barrel within the injection unit.
• Injection: The molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity through a nozzle and runner system using high pressure.

3

Cooling

• Solidification: The injected plastic cools and solidifies in the mold, taking the shape of the mold cavity.
• Cooling System: Channels within the mold circulate coolant to expedite the cooling process.

4

Mold Opening

• Separation: Once the part has solidified, the clamping unit opens the mold, separating the two halves.

5

Ejection

• Part Removal: Ejector pins or plates push the finished part out of the mold cavity.
• Ejection System: The ejection mechanism is activated to release the part without causing damage.
