Now Plastic Manufacturing on the Rise in China

The world of plastic products manufacturing has come a long way since the 1860s — and rapidly growing companies like CN-MOULDING are proof. While John Wesley Hyatt may not have realized it when he first experimented with cellulose nitrate in the late 1800s, the substance he discovered has since become a major part of everyday life in the China.

“Today’s plastics are one of the most used materials on a volume basis in China. industrial and commercial life,” says PlasticsIndustry.org. “(They are) broadly integrated into today’s lifestyle and make a major, irreplaceable contribution to virtually all product areas.”

The two main types of plastics are thermoplastics and thermosets, the first of which is used to create many of the most common industrial, consumer and commercial products on the market today. What turns the plastic into a useful product is a process called injection molding, a high-production process originally launched in the late 1940s by American inventor James Watson Hendry.

Here’s how injection molding works: manufacturers inject the thermoplastic into a mold where it can set and form into the size and shape desired. While the process is fairly simple in concept, it offers a wide range of advantages, like higher production rates, lowered labor costs and reduced waste. And today’s businesses are increasingly moving their injection molding back to the China, to companies like CN-MOULDING, to experience further benefits like lowered freight costs, faster turnaround times, easier face-to-face meetings and quicker access to inventory. Choosing to do plastic products manufacturing within the China. means freed-up resources, lower lag times, and more convenience when making product adjustments or changes.

“CN-MOULDING plastic products manufacturing provides all kinds of benefits to world companies,” said Kenny Han, a vice president at CN-MOULDING. “It’s much simpler to communicate, make changes, view samples and so on — not to mention cheaper and more efficient in the process.”

This increasing push for onshoring shows that China plastic products manufacturing is booming — and there are other evidences in place, too. Injection molding and 3D printing is a hot trend in the plastics industry today, being used for everything from military equipment to medical devices. Network World says 3D printing is “the hottest new technology on the IT landscape,” offering further proof that China plastic manufacturing continues to grow.

Injection mold Features

① core cavity and a three-dimensional profile. External and internal shape of plastic parts by direct molding cavity and core of these complex three-dimensional surface machining more difficult, especially within the cavity molding surface machining blind hole, if the traditional processing methods, not only requiring high skill level of workers, auxiliary fixtures more tools and more, and a long processing period.

② accuracy and surface quality requirements, long service life requirements. Currently dimensional accuracy requirements are generally plastic parts for 1T6? 1T7, dimensional precision surface roughness Ra0.2-0.1um injection mold parts required to achieve 1T5? 1T6, surface roughness Ra0.1um less. Long-life plastic injection mold for mention Gao efficiency and reduce costs necessary to present the life of the injection mold generally require more than one million times. Precision injection molding to use the stiffness of the mold. Increase the thickness of the template Increasing support column or cone positioning

Element to prevent deformation of the mold under pressure, internal pressure can sometimes reach lOOMPa. Top of the device is an important factor affecting the product deformation and dimensional accuracy, so you should choose the best top of the point to make uniform throughout the release. Precision injection molds most used in the structure or spelling mosaic structure, which requires precision mold parts interchangeability are greatly improved.

③ long process, the manufacturing time is tight. For injection molded parts, mostly with other components to form a complete package of products, and in many cases are in other parts have been completed, the eagerly awaiting public on supporting injection molded parts. Because of the product's shape or size of high precision, combined due to the characteristics of the resin material is different, after the completion of mold manufacturing, also requires repeated tryout and revision, enabling developers and delivery time is very tight.

④ remote design, remote manufacturing. Mold manufacturing is not the ultimate goal, but to present the final product design, mold making factory according to user requirements design and manufacture molds by the user, and in most cases, the products of other manufacturers also produce injection. This situation resulted in the design, mold design and manufacture products, production of products carried out in different places.

⑤ specialization, dynamic combination. Mold production volume is small, generally belong to a single piece of production, but the mold needs a lot of standard parts, large mold, small thimble, these should not and can not just be done by a single manufacturer, and manufacturing process complexity, general equipment and CNC devices use very uneven.

The mold impact of injection molding production

 

Mold because it can duplicate the production structure and shape of complex products, but also has high production efficiency, part shape, and uniform size, high precision parts, bulk and low cost, so the mold has become a manufacturing cost-efficient production of important technical support, a national mold industry level has become an important measure of the level of its manufacturing standards. Meanwhile, the main factors affecting the quality of the mold is product quality.

 

Injection mold injection product processing is the most important molding equipment, its quality is directly related to the merits of product quality. Moreover, since a large proportion of injection molding mold occupy in production costs, which is about the life of a direct injection product's cost. Therefore, improving the quality of injection molds, and maintenance and repair, extended its life cycle, are injection molding production cost reduction and efficiency an important issue. Meanwhile, the mold structure for injection molding equipment and raw material costs are also closely linked.

 

Second, the impact of injection mold production

 

Injection molds for injection molding have a huge impact mainly reflected in the following aspects

 

1. Select the injection molding machine for injection molding machines and die because of limitations related parameters, a type of injection molding machine die size allows installation there is a certain range, that is when mold making good, the corresponding minimum machine it has been determined. This ensures that companies supporting the injection molding machine, otherwise, it is possible to increase the injection molding machine models will inevitably result in the waste of the machine.

 

2. Requirements of the mold temperature requirements of the injection facilities may require mold temperature water connector specification, the number of groups waterway wire connection method

 

Requirements 3. Injection environmental impact of the product because the material, accuracy requirements, maybe required injection ambient temperature and humidity

 

4. Product quality and product quality is at least 70% of the factors in the mold, for high-precision injection molding machine, mold influence more prominent. For the appearance of the product surface, surface striae mainly to see the effect of the mold, glossy, mirror, etc. mainly to see the quality of the mold cavity surface polishing. For products of non-appearance of the surface, the mold surface quality can be directly reflected in the surface roughness of the product for the product dimensions, in addition to affecting the product shrinkage and the injection molding process, the most direct impact is mold dimensional accuracy. The higher precision Die size, dimensional accuracy is also higher. Produce many other plastic product defects, mold factor occupies a large proportion. See the narrative below.

 

5. molding cycle mold design, for gate location, etc waterway layout will affect the production of the injection molding cycle. Short molding cycle, direct injection to enhance production efficiency and capacity of injection molding machines, but also means lower production costs.

 

6. Raw Material - production costs (waste) design mold runner system will affect the injection of waste generated in a gram weight, these wastes actually increase the cost of production.

 

7. The degree of automation of production mold design, injection molding automation need to be considered to achieve, such as the top of the well, no post-processing, production of stable quality and risk-free. If the mold can not meet the requirements, it must have an operator for the production, which is bound to increase in labor costs, and increase the instability of product quality.

 

8. After processing reasonable mold design, product to meet the requirements, there is no need for post-processing, such as repair flash, cut the gate, orthopedic, all seized

What are the factors affecting precision injection molding?

 Precision injection molding generally refers to a process that requires high precision and surface quality of molded parts. It is also believed that precision injection molding refers to an injection molding process with a dimensional accuracy of 0.01 to 0.001 mm. In recent years, with the rapid development of electronics, medical care, communications, automobiles, and other industries, people’s requirements for high precision and high performance of plastic products are increasing day by day. Traditional plastic molding processes have been difficult to meet the current high standards. At the same time, injection molding is one of the most important plastic molding methods. Therefore, the precision injection molding technology has received more and more attention, which has made the precision injection molding technology continue to advance and new technologies continue to emerge.

Precision injection molding requires products not only to have high dimensional accuracy, low warpage deformation, excellent transfer characteristics, but also excellent optical properties, etc. Therefore, it is important for injection molding machines, injection molds, molding processes, and raw materials. Performance and formula have special requirements, and there are many factors that affect precision injection molding.

According to the current actual production, the difficulties of precision injection molding mainly include the following aspects:

(1) Plastic shrinkage rate: When designing precision plastic products, the shrinkage rate of plastics should be considered.

(2) Product shape and size: The shape and size of the plastic part have a great influence on the accuracy of the part. Production practice shows that the more complex the shape and the larger the size of the product, the lower the accuracy.

(3) Mold structure: The accuracy of injection molded parts is closely related to the number of mold cavities and production batches. It also shows that the precision of the single-cavity mold structure is higher than that of the multi-cavity mold structure, and the precision of small batch production is higher than that of large batches.

(4) Mold processing accuracy: Since the injection molded product must be molded in the mold cavity, the accuracy of the product will never exceed the accuracy of the mold cavity. Under normal circumstances, the accuracy of injection molded products is one to two tolerance levels lower than the accuracy of the mold. As far as the current mold manufacturing technology is concerned, most of the mold cavities are manufactured by high-speed milling, grinding, polishing, or electrical machining, etc. These processing methods can achieve the highest precision required.

(5) Injection molding machine: Because precision injection molding has higher precision requirements for products. Therefore, they generally need to be carried out on a special precision injection molding machine. The injection power of the precision injection molding machine must be large, the control accuracy must be high, the response speed of the hydraulic system must be fast, and the mold clamping system must have sufficient rigidity.

Selection of precision injection molding plastics The shrinkage rate of plastic products fluctuates greatly during molding. In addition, due to the different types of polymers and additives used in different plastics, their flow performance and molding performance during injection molding will be different. There are big differences. Due to factors such as the manufacturer, the factory season, and environmental conditions, there are also problems with the stability of the shape and size of the products molded by them.

Therefore, in addition to having good flow properties and molding properties, precision injection molded plastics also require shape and dimensional stability. Otherwise, the accuracy of the product is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, when injection molding precision plastic products, we must consider the variety of plastics and their molding properties, and choose materials with low shrinkage and good long-term stability as much as possible.

Injection molding operation requirements

 

First, the quality requirements of plastic products

1. After injection molding, the product structure must be guaranteed to be complete, and there should be no shortage of materials or materials.

2. The surface of the product is bright in color, uniform in color, and full.

3. The surface of the product is not filled with defects such as flowers, impurities and black spots.

4, The shape of the product is regular, with no deformation, distortion, and obvious bubbles inside the product.

  5,The product can be matched with the relevant parts and normal, can not be separated without external force.

6. For products that need to be assembled, after assembly, the operator needs to perform a self-test to ensure that the product meets the quality requirements. Not allowed

Not installed, missing, and broken.

Second, plastic products trimming requirements

1. The feeding port of the product is generally cut off with a trimming knife, and the cutting position cannot be clearly whitish.

2. When trimming the knife, when trimming the product, the force should be repaired from the inside out when repairing the product. The direction of the force is not allowed to be blocked by the other hand.

3. When the product is trimmed, the force on the shank should be even, ensure that the force can cut off the product as much as possible, the long front of the batch, the middle does not stagnate, once repaired to the end, to ensure the finished the appearance of the edge after trimming

 4. The surface of the product that has been trimmed is not allowed to have wavy lines and unevenness.

5. For the part where the inlet is removed, the trimming should be smooth, and slight scratches caused by improper trimming in the range of φ10 are allowed. Other parts are not allowed to have scratches due to improper trimming.

6. For the height of the draping height greater than 0.2mm, it should be trimmed (unless the adjustment of the injection parameters can be solved), especially the flank on the edge of the outline of the product must be removed.

7. For different products, it is recommended to use different types of trimming knives to ensure product quality and improve trimming efficiency.

8. It is not allowed to damage other qualified surfaces due to improper trimming operation (such as causing good surface scratches, cuts, etc.).

 

Third, product stacking and handling

1. The height of the product stacked on the pallet should not exceed 1.2mm. The number of products in the same specification must be the same. Finally, it is bundled with a winding die. For small products placed in the tote, the height of the product should be 10CM at the tote, and the loading weight of the tote should not exceed 25Kg.
