Injection moulding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a
mould. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials, including
metals, glasses, elastomers, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting
polymers. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mould cavity,
where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity. After a product is designed, usually
by an industrial designer or an engineer, moulds are made by a mouldmaker (or toolmaker) from
metal, usually either steel or aluminum, and precision-machined to form the features of the
desired part. Parts to be injection moulded must be very carefully designed to facilitate the
moulding process, the material used for the part, the desired shape and features of the part, the
material of the mould, and the properties of the moulding machine must all be taken into account.
The versatility of injection moulding is facilitated by this breadth of design considerations and
possibilities.
Mould
Mould or die are the common terms used to describe the tool used to produce plastic parts in
moulding. Since moulds have been expensive to manufacture, they were usually only used in
mass production where thousands of parts were being produced. Typical moulds are constructed
from hardened steel, pre-hardened steel, aluminum, and/or beryllium-copper alloy. The choice of
material to build a mould from is primarily one of economics, in general, steel moulds cost more
to construct, but their longer lifespan will offset the higher initial cost over a higher number of
parts made before wearing out.
Applications
Injection moulding is used to create many things such as mechanical parts (including gears), and
most other plastic products available today like bike indicator, hanger plumbing parts, toys,
mobile charger CFL holder, decoration items etc. Injection moulding is the most common
modern method of manufacturing parts; it is ideal for producing high volumes of the same object.
There is a good demand for plastic injection moulded articles in automobile, electronic,
electrical and mechanical industry. Injection moulded articles such as bearing house, gear
covers etc. are finding increasing uses and replacing conventional metallic components.
The unit will work for 9 hours daily for 300 working days in a year.
