Why use injection moulding
Injection moulding, the most
popular process for manufacturing thermo-plastic products. It is the best way to get not only the product you want but also
at the quality you need it. ALNO Product Services have been specialists in
every facet of the moulding process from design and prototype right through to
the manufacture for many years and have vigorous quality procedures which we
follow to ensure you get the very best product possible. What are the main advantages
and disadvantages of this process?
Plastic Injection Molding Advantages
High Degree of Efficiency
Injection moulding can produce an incredible amount of parts per hour. It’ll depend on how many impressions are in your tool. Usually the injection moulding operation runs all night and day once the mold is set up.Cost Effective
As the plastic injection is an automatized process, it allows the manufacturing stage runs with few labor on top of production.Multiple materials moulded at the same time
The benefit of co-injection moulding is you can produce plastic part with more than one plastic material at the same time.Wide range of plastic material can be used
The chemical industry provides to
you several types of plastic that can be used for different components. And
beyond that there are some types that can performance as essential materials
for industries such as steel.
Plastic Injection Moulding disadvantages
High initial cost
The
tooling is the essential stage of the plastic injection moulding, because this
component provides the quality of the final plastic part. Its initial cost is
totally depended on how well the tooling manufacture will be.
Expensive investment
The injection
moulding equipment is very expensive, and it can take a few years to cover the
investment. Before make the investment is important to know about the basics of
these machines, which brand is better, how are their performance, etc. All
these essential steps will make you find a machine that fit well for your
business.
Plastic parts must be designed with injection moulding consideration
All the plastic
parts designed to do injection moulding must follow the basic rules of injection
moulding. The most important thing to realise is that a mould tool is made
from two halves that need to pull apart, and the part needs to be able to be
released from the tool.
