The principle of injection molding is the change of three basic actions: [Melt], [Flow], and [Solidify]!
The injection molding method is the most typical plastic molding method and is the most rational, productive, and capable of producing high quality molded products. Currently, most thermoplastics are made by this injection molding method.
An injection molding machine consists of an injection mechanism that melts and injects plastic material, a mold clamping mechanism that clamps the mold at high pressure, and a control mechanism that controls these components.
The plastic material drops from the hopper into the heated cylinder, is transferred and plasticized by the screw (plunger), injected into the mold, and then cooled and solidified to form a molded product.
