Four Types of Injection Molding Machines
 

 

Conventional injection molding machine

In this process, the plastic granules or pellets are poured into a hopper and feed into the chamber of the heating cylinder. A plunger then compresses the material, forcing it through progressively hotter zones of the heating cylinder, where it is spread thin by a torpedo. The torpedo is installed in the center of the cylinder in order to accelerate the heating of the center of the plastic mass. The torpedo may also be heated so that the plastic is heated from the inside as well as from the outside.
The material flows from the heating cylinder through a nozzle into the mold. The nozzle seals the cylinder and the mold, and prevents leaking of molten material. The mold is held shut by the clamp end of the machine. For polystyrene, two of three tons of pressure is generally used for each inch of projected area of the workpiece and runner system.

Piston-type preplastifying machine

This machine employs a torpedo ram heater to preplastify the plastic granules. After the melt stage, the fluid plastic is pushed into a holding chamber until it is ready to be forced into the mold. This type of machine produces workpiece faster than a conventional machine, because the molding chamber is filled to shot capacity during the cooling time of the workpiece. Due to the fact that the injection plunger is acting on fluid material, no pressure loss is encountered in compacting the granules. This allow for larger workpiece with more projected area.

Screw-type preplastifying machine

It is an extruder used for plasticizing the plastic material. The turning screw feeds the pellets forward to the heated interior surface of the extruder barrel. The molten, plasticized material moves from the extruder into a holding chamber, and from there is forced into the mold or die by the injection plunger. The use of a screw gives the following advantages: better mixing and shear action of the plastic melt, a broader range of stiffer flow heat sensitive material can be run, color changes can be handled in a shorter time and fewer stresses are obtained in the molded part.

Reciprocating-screw injection machine

Reciprocating-screw injection molding machine employs a horizontal extruder in place of the heating chamber. The plastic material is moved forward through the extruder barrel by the rotation of a screw. As the material progresses through the heated barrel with the screw, it is changing from the granular to the plastic molten. As the material moves forward, the screw backs up to a limit switch that determines the volume of material in the front of the extruder barrel. During shot, the screw moves forward tp displace the material in the barrel. In this machine, the screw performs as a a ram or plunger.

 

Design Features of Two-Color Injection Molding Machine

Two-color molding machines are becoming more and more popular in the market, but it puts forward higher requirements for mold design, mold manufacturing and injection molding.

Molding

Two-color mold molding is almost the same as other ordinary injection molding. The difference is that the convex/core side of the injection mold at the two positions should be regarded as the same, and the concave/cavity side should fit well with the convex/core side. Such molded parts are small.

Demoulding

Since the two-color molded part can only be demolded after the second injection, the demolding system will be invalid during the first injection. For parallel turntable injection machines, the ejector system in the injection machine can be used for parts release.

Gate system

Because it is two-color molding, there are a first gate system and a second gate system from two different injection devices.

Mold

Because the two-color molding method is special and needs to be coordinated with each other, the size and accuracy of the guide devices of the two molds must be consistent. The clamping height of the parallel turntable injection machine must be the same, and the centers of the two molds should be on the same radius of rotation, with a difference of only 180°. For vertical turntable injection molding machines, the two molds should be on the same axis.

Technical Requirements for Two-color Injection Molding Machine

 

The 2 shapes of the female mold must be different, making a product separately, while the 2 shapes of the male mold must be actually the same.
After the center of the mold is rotated 180 degrees, the mold must be steady. The water of the 3 plate mold can be designed with mechanical demoulding. The full thickness of the front panel plus A board should not be less than 170mm. The highest thickness of the mold, the lowest thickness of the mold and the distance of the Ko hole should be rightly studied.
When the designing the master mold for 2 shot injection, in order to reject the second master mold from scratching the glue area of the first mold item, a part of it can be designed to reject voids. Anyway, it is necessary to rightly consider the strength of each sealing part.
Injection molding, the item size of the first injection molding can be pretty bigger, so that it can be tighter with others in the second molding to meet the sealing effect. Pay focus to the second injection, the plastic flow will impact the primary molded item and deform the glue. Before closing the mold B board or A board, pay focus to whether the front mold slider or inclined top will reset and crush the item first.
The water distribution of the 2 female molds and male mold should be used as much as easy and balanced. In 99 percent of cases, the hard rubber part of the product is injected first, and then soft rubber part of the injection item, because the soft rubber is simply deformed.

Injection Molding Machine Components & It's Function
 

Hopper
This is the part at the top of the machine. It is a funnel-shaped container where the plastic material is fed into the machine. The hopper helps in feeding the material into the barrel.

 

Barrel
The barrel is a hollow pipe-like part with a heating element. It is where the plastic injection hardware mould material is melted and mixed. The barrel has a reciprocating screw which helps in transporting the molten plastics into the mold.

 

Heaters
Heaters are used to melt the plastic material in the barrel. Usually, band heaters are used which wrap around the barrel. Temperature sensors are also used to monitor the temperature.

 

Screw
The screw sits inside the barrel and rotates and moves forward and backward. It helps in transporting the molten plastics into the mould by its reciprocating action. The screw also mixes and blends the molten plastics.

 

Clamping Unit
It is the part that attaches to the mold and opens and closes the mold. The clamping unit applies the necessary clamping force so that the mold halves can be securely closed during injection and molding.

 

Injection Unit
The injection unit injects the molten plastics into the mold through a sprue. It consists of a nozzle at the end which injects the plastics into the mold at high pressure.

 

Mould
The mold consists of two halves - cavity and core. The molten plastics solidify inside the mold and take the shape of the mold's inner surface. The mold opens once the part has solidified.

 

Ejector assembly
Once the mold opens, the ejector assembly helps in ejecting the molded part out of the mold. It pushes the part out of the mold using ejector pins.

 

Controllers
Controllers help in controlling, adjusting, and monitoring the various parameters of the injection molding machine including temperature, pressure, screw positions, etc.
