How does it work?
Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process used to produce precision-shaped plastic components.
The process involves the following steps:
Mold: First, a mold or a molding tool is created, consisting of two cavities, one for each half of the desired plastic part. These cavities are exact negative copies of the desired component and can be made from high quality steel or aluminum.
Plastic material: The plastic material, usually in the form of small plastic granules, is heated to the melting point. It can be a wide range of plastic types, including polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and many others.
Injection unit: The molten plastic is injected into the molding tool using an injection unit. The injection unit usually consists of a screw that rotates and moves forward in a cylinder, forcing the molten plastic material into the molding tool.
Closure of the molding tool: The molding tool is tightly closed, which ensures that the plastic material fills the cavity of the mold precisely.
Cooling: Once the plastic material has been injected into the mold, it begins to cool and solidify, which can take seconds or minutes, depending on the type of plastic and the size and complexity of the component.
Opening the mold: After cooling, the molding tool is opened and the molded plastic components are removed. If there is excess material, which is called excess, it is usually removed in this step.
Finishing: Some components may require additional finishing, such as trimming, drilling, or applying text or marks.
Injection molding is a highly efficient process that allows mass production of plastic components with high precision and consistency. It is used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, electronics manufacturing, medical devices, consumer products and more. The process is suitable for the production of components of various sizes and levels of complexity and has a significant role in modern industrial production.
