Plastic injection molders are also known as presses. Plastic injection molders hold the molds in which the components are shaped. Plastic injection molders are rated by tonnage, which expresses the amount of clamping force that the machine can generate. This pressure keeps the mold closed during the injection process. Tonnage can vary from less than 5 tons to 6000 tons, with the higher figures used in comparatively few manufacturing operations.
Plastic injection molders can fasten the molds in either a horizontal or vertical position. The majority is horizontally oriented, but vertical machines are used in some niche applications such as insert molding, allowing the machine to take advantage of gravity.
Plastic injection molders are used to create many things such as milk cartons, packaging, bottle caps, automotive dashboards, pocket combs, and most other plastic products available today. It is known that injection molding is the most common method of part manufacturing. It is ideal for producing high volumes of the same object.
Some advantages of using plastic injection molders are high production rates, repeatable high tolerances, the ability to use a wide range of materials, low labor cost, minimal scrap losses, and little need to finish parts after molding. The materials you can use in injection molding are chosen based on the strength and function required for the final part. However, each material has different parameters for molding that must be considered.
If you are a manufacturing company that produces anything from toys to car parts and you are not using plastic injection molders to produce your parts, you will spend too much money. Indeed, using plastic injection molders provides additional savings to manufacturers because plastic is less expensive than metal and manufacturers pay for fewer parts. As a result, they are widely used because of the high quality of the end product.
One of plastic injection molders you can choose in the market is Plastic Injection Molder (YS-1180). This machine has moving platen featuring box type bridge structure and full-connected rear high-rigidity mold platen. Through finite element analysis, it can prevent deforming of mold platen, resist against fatigue, have high repetition accuracy, distribute mold closing force uniformly, greatly increase mold’s service life and reduce the molded parts cost.
Another option of plastic injection molders is HDT-200 200ton plastic injection molder. This machine comes in two series; HDT series and HDF series. The HDT machines’ clamping force is from 80 tons to 2200 tons and the shot weight is from 80g to 20000g. These machines have strong locking force and a very good injection precise also a stable performance etc.
Meanwhile, the HDF machines are a type of high-speed plastic injection molders. The machine’s cycle time is very short (2.6 seconds-3.6 seconds) with a high injection pressure (to be possible to reach 240MPA) and a high-speed injection (to be possible to reach 600MM/S). This machine can be used to produce the thin-wall products, especially the thin-wall snack boxes and containers (with the wall thickness of 0.4mm).
Or you can choose another option among other plastic injection molders available in the market. Just choose the one based on your needs and budget, and you will surely find the one you are looking for.
