Sprue gate runner Sprue, gate and runner are the 3 most important design factors that determine the quality of a conventional plastic injection mould. The material flow path between the injection moulding machine’s nozzle and the final component is composed of these three components, which deliver molten plastic from the injection moulding machine barrel to …
Guide to plastic injection moulding Plastic injection moulding is an automated manufacturing process. A majority of the injection moulding process is performed by machines and robotics which a sole operator can control and manage the processes. Automation helps to reduce manufacturing costs, as the overheads are significantly reduced. Furthermore, with reduced labour force the overall …
Advantages and disadvantages of plastic injection moulding Thermoplastic Injection Moulding is a very commonly used process to manufacture identical parts that are required to be produced in large volumes. The Plastic Injection moulding process is injecting molten material into a closed mould. By using a variety of materials for a properly designed part and a …

Clamping tonnage calculation The clamping unit of an injection moulding is designated by the maximum clamping force that the moulding machine is capable of producing. The clamping force is required to keep the mould tightly closed and locked in place during the injection process to obtain a uniform component. The clamping unit is placed in …
Types of mould in injection moulding Plastic Injection moulds can be classified into 2 types – A cold runner mould and a hot runner mould. They can further be a single cavity mould or multi-cavity moulds. Types of Injection Mould Based on Mould Opening and cold runner system – A Two plate plastic injection mould …
How to identify injection moulding partner? Identifying an injection moulding partner can be quite a task! Let us look at the basic needs first. For designing a component in injection moulded plastic, we have to achieve a technically suitable design that functions well. It has to be cost-effectively manufactured using various injection moulding processes. Designing …
Injection moulding process of plastics The moulding process of plastics is a process that injects molten plastics into the desired shape usually referred to as a cavity and core in a plastic injection mould. Sometimes the item will be hollow The modern Moulding technologies can reproduce extraordinarily complex designs and shapes used in various industries …

What is injection moulding machine? How to select? The injection moulding process forces molten plastic material under high pressure into a closed mould to form the part in the required shape, design and size. This requires the selection of the optimum machine suitable for the selected product to be moulded. A designer will consider all …
