Modern plastics are widely used today. The well-known technique called insert molding micro molding or custom plastic injection molding is an efficient process of converting plastics into many useful products that we use daily. What is Custom Plastic Injection Molding Process? Plastic initially in the form of granules is melted and processed until it becomes soft. This molten plastic is then injected to fill the mould under high pressure. Once the entire plastic molding has been sufficiently cooled enough, the mould is then opened and the parts are removed. The final result is intended for the mould to copy the exact shape. To form another shape, the mould is closed and the entire process is repeated again.
Custom plastic injection molding is the most widely used methods of transposing plastics from raw materials to form materials which are used for different purposes. Normally, this process is mainly used for thermoplastic materials which are successively reshaped, melted and cooled during the process. Because in most cases the engineering thermoplastic parts are formulated by the injection molding process, it is imperative for the designer to comprehend the capabilities and limitations of the entire process. This is a versatile method of producing high quality components at high speed and on fully automated basis. These injection molded components is an important functional feature in almost every manufacturing industry. Discussed below are few more steps involved in this entire process.
Steps Involved in the Process of Injection Molding
Clamping: Clamping is the component where the fixed and moving platens of the injection molding machine bears the mold tool carefully together under high pressure.
Injection: In this part of the process, the molten plastic that is melted from the pellet is formed in the barrel of the machine. All this activity is performed under high pressure into the mold.
Dwelling: Once the molten plastic is injected into the mold, high pressure is then applied to the same mold to make sure that all cavities are filled properly.
Cooling: After performing all the above, the components are then set aside to solidify and cool down into the mold.
Opening: The components are opened by shifting the moving platen away from the fixed platen. They are completely separated from the mold tool.
Ejection: This is the final step of the process. The exposure time of closing the mold to ejecting the finished plastic component takes place in this cycle.
To transform plastic materials into usable shapes, several techniques of plastics such as Injection molding, compression molding, insert molding micro molding, custom plastic injection molding, transfer molding, thermoforming, blow molding, and blown film has been developed in the market. Each of these methods requires specific skills and expertise. As one of the most professional plastics injection molding companies in china, CAMEL Engineering Limited provide industrial design, prototype making, pre and mass production service for plastic parts, metal parts, rubber parts, silicone parts, extrusion parts and foamed parts.
