Service Overview
Injection molding process
Introduction
What is injection molding?
Injection moulding is the process by virtue of which molded injection moulding products are obtained by injecting plastic substances into molds and rapid cooling them. This cooling solidifies the plastic, making it hard and ready for use. The plastic injection molding is used for the mass production of shapes and designs from plastic. This process makes up a huge part of the plastic processing industry. We are the best plastic moulding company in the country, dealing with exclusive materials in the injection molding process.
Injection molding is a manufacturing process that is usually used for the mass production of items from plastic die mould. The requirement of these articles is huge and this process makes the production simpler, faster and more efficient. Machines like injection molding machines are used for this process because it involves the same part being created millions of times in succession. This is especially valuable in the consumer market where such things are sold in huge quantities at a time and made with moulding dye.
How does the process work?
One of the most important parts of the injection molding process is the injection molding machine.
Injection molding machine
The machine that is used for injection molding is divided into 2 units - an injection unit and a clamping unit.
Injection molding machine
- The injection unit is one of the most crucial parts of the machine. It is responsible for melting the plastic substance by heat and injecting the melted substance into the tooling mold to give it the shape of the mold.
- The clamping unit is responsible for opening and closing a die and the ejection of the products that have been completed.
Both these processes are coherent with each other and work in perfect harmony. Any difference in their frequency alters the entire process and articles are not made efficiently. Mould manufacturers are aware of this discrepancy and make sure they take every possible step to avoid that.
Materials used
Molding, by virtue of its process, is a technique that involves shaping a liquid or malleable raw material by using a mold, a fixed frame or a matrix that is designed earlier. The plastic mold manufacturing usually entails a hollow cavity made of metal where the plastic or the mold material is poured. There are several kinds of materials that are used in plastic molding. These materials are:
- Nylon (polyamide)
- Acrylic
- Polycarbonate
- Polyoxymethylene
- Polystyrene
- Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
- Polypropylene
- Polyethylene
The materials used might differ in terms of what the kind of injection molding is. The 5 types of injection molding are:
- Blow moulding
- Injection moulding
- Compression moulding
- Rotational moulding
- Extrusion moulding
Applications of injection moulding
What is injection moulding used for?
Injection moulding is usually used in industries and spheres that produce the same parts in large volumes - ranging from thousands of parts to millions. Some of the typical products that are made with the help of injection moulding are:
- Plastic bottles: This is one of the most common articles that is usually made with injection moulding. Bottles of multiple shapes and sizes can be made using this technique. The only change that is required is of the mold.
- Electronic housings: Electronic housing parts are also usually fabricated by using injection molding services. They are used in devices such as remote controls, televisions, computers, medical equipment and other consumer electronic components. Injection molding services are also used to custom make any and all enclosures for appliances.
What are some of the advantages of using injection moulding?
The principle advantage to injection molding comes with its ability to scale production. The investments have to be made for the machine and the molds in the initial stages of the production. However, the injection price per mold is very low. This brings down costs in the long run as more and more parts get produced every hour.
Here are some other reasons why you might choose injection molding:
- They produce low scrap rates - Compared to the traditional manufacturing methods that are used in this industry, injection molding produces limited waste.
- Injection molding can produce items by the millions - One of the best parts of injection molding is that it can produce the same plastic item by the millions.
Relevance of injection molding in electronics, medical and IoT industry
Plastic injection moulding and the process which it uses has undergone tremendous research and development in the recent years. With immense focus on reducing waste and downtime, plastic injection molding has now become more efficient and more sustainable as a means of manufacturing in the electronics, medical and the Internet of Things (IoT) industry. Industries have been using plastic injection molding for the past several years. They have been adopting the usage of such machines because they provide reliable and better products; qualities which are highly valuable in sensitive fields like medicine and technology. Increased globalization and the ever increasing demand for low-cost products are expected to boost the development in plastic injection molding in the future.
The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc in the medical and technological fields of the country. Hence, with industry and factory shutdowns, the demand for low-cost goods in these areas have skyrocketed. Plastic injection moulding seems to be the perfect way out. This is because the process has the ability to produce the same products by the millions in an amazingly short time. The upliftment of the economy in the long run can most definitely be spearheaded by the injection moulding industry producing hundreds of varieties of consumer goods as fast as possible. The resuscitation of the consumer market is a big responsibility and the injection molding industry, with its constant developments, is ready to take it up in stride.
Conclusion
Although the process is very efficient and productive in the long run, the initial investment for the injection molding process tends to be a lot. That is enough to deter many parties who want to venture in these waters. However, with the advantages listed above and the specifications we have provided you with, we hope that you have gained newfound clarity in the subject.
