Plastic Injection

Plastic Injection; It is a process that involves melting a plastic raw material, then injecting it into the mold and removing it after cooling. In order to remove the plastic raw material from the mold, it needs to cool.

Plastic injection with the process; Many plastic parts such as garden furniture and components can be produced. Plastic injection is widely used in industrial areas in general. We can say that this method plays an active role in the production of many of the items we see around us. It has become a very preferred method especially because it is suitable for mass production.

How to Works Plastic Injection?

Plastic Injection the mold process has a unique working principle. We can list this working principle as follows;

• First, auxiliary materials are added to the plastic raw material.
• The prepared material is sent into the feeding unit of the machine using vacuum.
• The material in the feeding unit is then sent to the mold. The screw system helps the material to be sent into the mold.
• With the effect of the high heater, the plastic raw material becomes molten.
• The melted plastic raw material is filled into the entire mold.
• The molten plastic material placed in the mold is left to cool.
• After the material in the mold has cooled, the mold must be opened.
• After the mold is opened, the material is removed from the mold.
• Protrusions from mold cavities may occur around and on the material, and by cleaning them, the product is obtained.

What is the Advantages of Plastic Injection?

Plastic Injection It is an advantageous application. We can list the advantages of plastic injection as follows;

• Adapts quickly to automation,
• It is economical,
• It can work even in low tolerances,
• Material loss is negligible,
• Fast production is done,
• Many different products can be made with the same mold,
• No post-processing required,
• Many products can be produced in different shapes, colors and surfaces,

Plastic Injection it is a very easy process. It is preferred because it does not have a complex structure.

Plastic Injection Process Steps

Plastic Injection process steps are as follows:

Mold Closing

In the mold closing unit of the plastic injection machine, the mold is kept under pressure during the injection cooling processes.

Raw Material Receiving (Melting)

It is the process stage that expresses the melting of the plastic raw material into the mold.

Injection

It is the process step that expresses the transfer of the molten plastic material into the mold through the nozzle at the end of the machine. The raw material sent to the mold cavity is compressed in the mold by the effect of the pressure. Then the raw material begins to cool.

Ironing

It is the stage applied in order for the product to be in the desired dimensions. The plastic plum injected into the mold fills the entire mold cavity with pressure. This process ends when the plastic becomes solid in the mold.

Cooling

The mold is cooled and frozen in the plastic inside.

Mold Opening

Plastic Injection It is the penultimate before the process stages of the process. It is the removal of molded plastic material from the mold.

Extraction

With the help of the pushers, the molded part is removed from the mold.

Plastic Injection must be done by professionals. Umaymak firm performs plastic injection process with its professional teams.
