Q

INJECTION MOULDING:

A

Plastic granules, palates or powder gets poured into the feeder hopper. (mainly white/clear and small % of coloured powder is added to produce desired colour plastic product.)

  • Can be considered a clean technology as there is little waste.
  • mass productoon
  • continuous production
  • half a million dollars to get
  • when you see little holes/marks or ridges it means it has injection moulding

Q

steps of injection moulding

A
  1. Granules of plastic powder are poured or fed into a hopper which stores it until it is needed.
  2. A heater heats up the tube and when it reaches a high temperature a screw thread starts turning.
  3. A motor turns a thread which pushes the granules along the heater section which melts then into a
    liquid. The liquid is forced into a mould where it cools into the shape.
  4. The mould then opens and the unit is removed.
