When we talk about injection molding machines, vertical injection molding machines are an important area that cannot be ignored. Vertical injection molding machine is a key equipment used to manufacture various plastic products, widely used in various industries.
First, let us understand how the vertical injection molding machine works. A vertical injection molding machine is a device that manufactures various plastic products by heating plastic particles and injecting them into a mold. Its workflow includes the following key steps:
Plastic pellet heating: A vertical injection molding machine places plastic pellets into a heated barrel and then uses a heating element to heat them to the melting point.
Plastic Injection: Once the plastic reaches the proper molten state, it is pushed or injected into the mold. The mold usually has the shape of the desired product.
Cooling and solidification: After being injected into the mold, the plastic cools and solidifies, ultimately forming the desired plastic product.
Opening the mold and removing the product: Once the plastic product is fully cured, the mold opens, allowing the removal of the final product.
Application areas of vertical injection molding machines
Vertical injection molding machines are widely used in a variety of industries, including but not limited to:
- Automotive Industry: Used in manufacturing automotive parts such as dashboards, door panels, lamps, and inserts.
- Medical Devices: Used to produce medical devices, medical packaging, and medical supplies.
- Electronics: Manufacture of electronic equipment housings, connectors, and accessories.
- Home Furnishings: Produces household furnishings such as chairs, tables, trash cans, etc.
- Toy Manufacturing: Manufacture of various plastic toys and models.
- Food packaging: used to produce various food packaging containers, such as bottles, boxes, and bags.
