Plastic machine refers to mechanical equipment used for plastic processing, also known as injection molding machine or plastic injection molding machine. It is a device that injects melted plastic into a mold under high pressure, cools and solidifies it to form the desired plastic product.
Plastic machines are usually composed of injection systems, cooling systems, control systems, and hydraulic systems. Its working principle is to heat and melt solid plastic particles or granular plastic pellets, and inject the melted plastic into the mold cavity through a screw propulsion system. In the mold, the plastic rapidly cools and solidifies, and then the mold is opened to remove the finished product.
The main types of plastic machines are vertical injection machines and horizontal injection machines. The mold opening and closing method of the vertical injection machine is vertical, which is suitable for manufacturing small products such as inserts and plugins. The mold opening and closing method of the horizontal injection machine is horizontal, suitable for manufacturing large or flat plastic products.
Plastic machines are widely used in the production of plastic products, such as household appliances, automotive parts, daily necessities, electronic products, medical devices, and other fields. It has advantages such as high production efficiency, low cost, short production cycle, and stable product quality. With the continuous expansion of the plastic products market and technological progress, the design and technology of plastic machines are also constantly innovating and developing to meet the needs of different industries.
