How Plastic Injection Moulding Works

The plastic injection moulding process is an extremely valuable manufacturing technique for many reasons. It produces high-quality, cost-effective parts that are lightweight and often far more resilient than those made of metal or other common part materials. It is also incredibly efficient and capable of being used to produce highly complex, finely detailed or precision-engineered components.

To produce an plastic injection-molded part, manufacturers choose a thermoplastic material to be injected into a mold cavity. The raw material comes in the form of small pellets, which are fed into a hopper at the top of the injection molding machine. The plastic injection molding machine's screw and barrel then gradually warm up, melt and combine the pellets into a molten plastic. A temperature control unit, located at the injection molding machine (IMM), circulates a flow of coolant through passages in the injection mold to help maintain correct temperatures.

Once the melted plastic reaches a specific temperature, it is injected into the injection mold with a precise amount of force and pressure. Once a sufficient amount of the material has been injected, the IMM draws back and 'holds' the molded plastic under pressure for a specific period of time. This hold, which can range from milliseconds to minutes, is important to ensure that the molded plastic sets properly and that it is formed accurately.

When the plastic has sufficiently cooled, it is ejected from the injection mold. This is done with a mechanism attached to the rear half of the injection mold, which pushes against the molded plastic with a great deal of force. This ejection process can be assisted with the use of a liquid release agent, which is applied to the injection mold before the melted plastic is injected into it.

Injection molded parts are produced with very precise tolerances, and the accuracy of the part's dimensions is extremely important for many applications. Because of this, the parts produced with plastic injection molding have better dimensional consistency than parts produced using other types of manufacturing processes.

Plastic injection molding is also a very sustainable manufacturing process in that it reduces the number of raw materials needed to create an equivalent product and reduces the energy required for production. The exact materials chosen for a plastic injection mold will vary, but examples include Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Polypropylene (PP).

The quality of an injection molded part is not only determined by the type of plastic used, but also by the design and engineering that goes into the creation of the product. Ideally, the resulting product will be designed and engineered by a qualified designer or specialised engineer. The most accurate and dependable plastic injection molding processes are those that incorporate data-driven practices and resources such as SolidWorks software for up-front design validation, RJG eDart process controls, automation and robotics, and a quality assurance system that includes calipers and CMMs. These processes deliver superior quality to both consumers and manufacturers.

Everything You Need to Know about Injection Moulding Machines

Injection Moulding Machines or IMMs, are highly complex equipment with many moving parts. IMMs are widely used in the large-scale production of a wide range of plastic products, from medical devices to toys.

To function adequately, IMMs must be carefully calibrated and maintained, which is a daunting task for manufacturers. However, some experts specialise in IMM maintenance and repairs. In this blog post, let’s discuss injection moulding machines to give you an understanding of them.

What is Injection Moulding?

Injection Moulding is a manufacturing technique for creating multiple parts at once by injecting the raw material into pre-made moulds. The first step in the injection moulding process is making a mould. Moulds are often made of metal, most frequently steel or aluminium. And are carefully crafted to fit the characteristics of the product they are to manufacture. It is commonly used in mass manufacturing when fabricating identical components in hundreds or millions of pieces.

Injection Moulding Machine

An injection moulding machine (IMM), also known as an injection press, is a gadget used in the injection moulding process to make plastic products. It has two principal components, an injection unit and a clamping unit. The injection unit dispenses the melted component into the mould, and the clamping unit controls the mould.

What are the Types of Injection Moulding Machines?

The injection moulding method involves melting plastic pellets (thermosetting/thermoplastic polymers) that, once flexible enough, are injected at a specific pressure into a mould cavity, filling it and solidifying it to create the finished product. Depending on the type of product you are manufacturing, and how the machine will affect it, there are numerous distinct types of moulding machines. There are three basic categories used to group these machines.

They are:-

Hydraulic Injection Molding Machines

Electric Injection Molding Machines  

Hybrid Injection Molding Machines

How do Injection Moulding Machines Work?

The basic methodology for injection moulding machines largely remains the same despite the various operating mechanism. Injection moulding machine compromise of four main components: the hopper, the screw, the barrel and the clamp.

The hopper holds the raw material (typically plastic pellets) fed in the mould.

The screw transports the plastic pellets from the hopper to the barrel.

Heaters melt the pellets in the barrel. The molten plastic is then poured into the mould under high pressure.

Finally, the clamp holds the mould shut while the plastic cools and solidifies.

To produce high-quality products, IMMs need careful calibration. It includes setting the proper temperatures for melting, cooling and fixing the correct injection pressure and speed. If any of these parameters are inaccurate, it can result in defects in the final product.

Common defect types include:

Sink Marks - caused by incorrect cooling temperature.

Air Entrapment - caused by too high of injection pressure.

Flash - caused by too high of a clamping force.

To avoid these defects, manufacturers must have a deep understanding of both their materials and their machines.

Advantages of Injection Moulding

Injection moulding has some benefits over other mouldings, such as the following:

It manufactures uniform parts in a time-effective manner.

It has the potential to incorporate tamper-evident features.

It enhances versatility and personalisation.

It offers low manufacturing costs.

It manufactures solid and long-lasting finished goods.

It enables intricate mould designs.

It is tolerant to a variety of materials.

How Often Should You Service Your Injection Moulding Machines?

Injection Moulding Machines require regular maintenance to function efficiently and produce high-quality products. Your manufacturing method and volume will determine the frequency of maintenance and servicing for the machine.  

The injection moulding machine needs special expertise for maintenance. Thus, you should hire professional technicians for the job. During a service call, the technicians will inspect your machine for wear and tear and perform any necessary repairs or adjustments. They also clean your machine and perform a thorough safety check. Regular servicing will help extend the life of your machine and prevent expensive downtime due to unexpected breakdowns.

Conclusion

Injection moulding is a fantastic method for finished product production on a large scale. It is also beneficial for finalising prototypes used for consumer and product testing.

How Mold Temperature Controller is important for Injection Molding Machine

To get the best mold part, it is essential to consider the temperature in the injection molding machine. In addition, effective temperature control will help to reduce quality problems such as shrinking, warping, and other issues that occurred in the plastic material.

During the injection molding processing, a specific temperature has to be maintained in the process, or else the temperature rise will affect the final output of the product.

If the temperature is low, the plastic material may not blend properly; conversely, if the temperature is more, the plastic mixture may burn so that the optimum temperature must be maintained in the injection molding processing.

Mold Temperature:

The mold temperature is one of the reasons that affect the mold quality in injection molding processing. Therefore, to get the best mold quality, it is essential to balance the temperature. To optimize the precise temperature control it is essential to use a mold temperature controller with the injection molding machine.

Over Cooling & Under Cooling Problem:

When the mold surface temperature is low, then it affects the molded product also. However, if the temperature is high, it creates the dimensional shrinkage of the product. Also, the uneven heat distribution within the mold can result in various shrinkage rates and other issues.

To avoid such types of problems it is important to use the mold temperature controller.

For Better Mold Temperature Control:

The mold temperature in the IMM has to be lower than the temperature in the barrel so that the material cools down.

Therefore, the cooling lines are filled with water to reduce the temperature, or else it is filled with oil to heat the mold to maintain the optimum temperature.

Mold Temperature Controller:

It is a component that is installed on the injection molding machine to ensure the temperature during the injection molding processing. There are two different types of MTC is available such as water type and oil type. The pump of water and oil mold temperature controller is adapted with a high-efficiency level. The precise temperature level improves the production rate of the mold parts.
