This document discusses different parts of an injection mold and methods for ejecting molded plastic components from the mold. It describes various types of ejectors including pin ejectors, sleeve ejectors, and blade ejectors. It provides guidelines for selecting the appropriate ejector type based on the shape and thickness of the component. Some best practices for ejection include applying a releasing agent, decreasing mold temperature and holding time, and using stripper plates or air ejection for thin-walled parts.

Cavity insert PLAY EJECTION Ejection function of a mould is delicate since the part while solidifying shrinks to grip over the core tightly which makes smooth release without distortion, strain mark, break or damage of component very difficult. Parting surface selected in mould Straight surfaces of mould cavity & core Vacuum created by part sliding on core Undercut in part design Design of ribs, boss and surface texture Thin walled parts moulding
some design aspects that cause ejection difficulty :-- EJECTION Various ways of minimizing ejection difficulties 1. Apply releasing agent 2. Polish core in the direction of ejection 3. Provide suitable draft 4. Decrease cooling time of moulding 5. Decrease injection rate 6. Decrease holding pressure 7. Decrease holding time 8. Slowdown ejection speed 9. Decrease mould temperature 10.Plating with low friction surface 11.Provide air poppets to release vacuum
TYPES OF EJECTORS Straight Pin Ejector Stepped Pin Ejector Sleeve Ejector Blade Ejector Stripper Plate Ejector Stripper Ring Ejector Stripper Bar Ejector Valve Ejector Air Ejection EJECTION TYPE 1. PIN EJECTOR Pin ejectors are the simplest and most widely used ejection types to remove the moulding from core of the mould. Pin ejectors are hardened cylindrical Steel pins held in ejector plate and made to slide through the hole in core insert. Number of such ejector pins positioned on the core make smooth ejection of moulding during the forward ejection stroke,but mark of ejection will be visible. Sleeve ejector is a hollow cylindrical pin similar to pin ejector. It is also held in ejector plate and guided over core pin. During forward ejection stroke the sleeve pushes the moulding out of the core pin which holds it. Best suited for ejecting bosses on a component. EJECTION TYPES 2. SLEEVE EJECTOR moulding Sleeve ejector core pin SLEEVE EJECTOR CORE PIN MOULDING - EJECTED Sleeve Ejector Assembly SLEEVE EJECTOR CORE PIN MOULDING EJECTED EJECTION TYPES 3. BLADE EJECTOR For ejection of thin walled mouldings, instead of pin ejector rectangular blades of thickness equal to part and suitable width are used so as to increase the ejection area. BLADE EJECTOR HOLDER PIN LOCK PIN STRIPPER PLATE EJECTION Best ejection arrangement for thin walled moldings Increased area of ejection because of all- round nature of ejection Suitable for multicavity moulds of cylindrical parts. No witness mark seen on part at ejection portion.

No. of ejector pins x Area of each ejector pin = sum of lateral surface area of component in contact with Core / 100 SELECTION OF EJECTORS Pin Ejectors are easy to manufacture to high accuracy and its corresponding hole in Core to slide also economically produce able. Provide more ejector pins than the calculated minimum Distribute the total no. of pins equally for uniform release. Parting surface ejector pins are more effective than face ejectors. Position no. of ejection pins near Bosses, Ribs and other obstructions. Thin walled components are better ejected by stripper or sleeve Transparent components are suitable for Blade or Stripper Ejection
