The Working of the Plastic Molding process


Plastic injection molding procedure- the name may sound a little scary and complex but the process is anything but complex. The primary basis or what we call the original concept is similar to the ancient ‘lost wax’ process that was prevalent in the Indian peninsula and was used in making metal statues and sculptures. The process tends to be quite similar to plastic molding procedure and its simplicity combined with the accuracy levels and scope for heavy manufacturing makes it a widely used and rapidly developing procedure. The materials that can be used for molding also are of a great variety ranging from glass and wood to plastics especially thermosetting plastics that need higher temperatures to be able to mold into desired shapes.

The Plastic mold process can produce materials ranging from the smallest of plastic products like processor chip layouts to larger items like airplane plastic parts or car dashboards. Such a wide range of products have no wonder changed the way we view the importance of plastics and the subsequent demand created has been harnessed by world famous industrial manufacturers like Sino Mould Co. Ltd. The company has made a name for itself in the line of Plastic Molding Services and is globally known for its flawless production procedure and quality levels. The best examples of the plastic molding processes end products are the mouse and the keyboard that you are banging away on right now.

The Plastic injection Molds making process consists of injection machinery. The equipment consists of a heated barrel in which the plastic pieces are put and melted to form a semi liquid mass. The molten material is then poured through an injection procedure into the mould which is then allowed to cool thus giving the desired shape to the plastic and the end product is ready. The color of the product and any other such ingredients is added beforehand into the molten liquid plus the perfect temperature and pressure are also maintained. The high pressure that generally ranges from 10,000 to 25,000 PSI helps mainly in squeezing the molten liquid into the mold which later solidifies on cooling. The final stage of cooling takes a long time and after that the finished molds are brought out of their clamps and are now ready for any secondary addition if any. Making plastic molds is nowhere near as difficult as it initially seems and that is only due to its devastating simplicity of process. The quality of the product depends expressly on the manufacturer and in this sphere few can object to the fact that Sino-PM is the current market leader on the dint of its quality alone.
