Plastic injection molding: what is it and what are its advantages?

Injection molding equipment is one of the most widely used methods for manufacturing plastic parts.

Typically, plastic molding machines are capable of mass production, where it is possible to create the same part in thousands of high-precision repetitions. That is, on a large scale.

Their operation is very methodical and, using the best injection molding equipment and with the support of an expert company like HAITIAN, the resulting parts are a success.

What is injection molding?

Injection molding is a manufacturing technique that uses plastic to produce products and articles, which allows to obtain a wide range of plastic materials, as well as different finishes.

The use of plastic molding machinery remains one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to manufacture complex parts continuously and quickly in large volumes.

It uses custom molds, according to the needs of each company or industry, and fills them, in order to have identical copies.

Plastic injection molding is truly reliable, efficient and cost-effective.

But what is the injection molding process?

Actually, it is divided into three phases: injection, cooling and redesign.

Advantages of using plastic molding machinery

By using plastic molding machinery in an industry, great advantages are obtained.

1. High precision: imperfections are minimal, due to the way the material is injected. As a result, it is possible to achieve thousands of identical repetitions.
2. Complex designs: this technique allows the production of more complex parts.
3. High durability: plastic parts themselves are already durable. Thus, injection molding produces products of enormous reliability and resistance.
4. Automation: processes are automated, reducing failures and mishaps. This factor also helps to reduce manufacturing costs, as overheads are significantly minimized. 
5. Lower costs: as we said in the previous point, it is a very cost-effective and productive solution.
6. Environmentally friendly technology: injection molding generates little waste and, of course, the plastics can be reused over and over again.
7. With details: the plastic inside the molds is pressed harder against the mold compared to any other molding process. Because of this higher pressure, it is possible to add a great deal of detail to the final product design.
8. Speed and efficiency: it is a very time-consuming process and this allows more parts to be produced from a single mold. 
9. Use of different types of plastic simultaneously: injection molding has the ability to use different types of plastic at the same time.

These are great advantages that are very positive for companies and industries in the short, medium and long term.
