Injection Molding Basics – Process (excerpt)

This excerpt discusses Material Preparation and handling of plastics, including mixing of plastic material and additives (such as impact modifiers, fillers, flame retardants, mold release agents, plasticizers, reinforcements, heat stabilizers, lubricants and colorants), using dessicant dryers for material drying and dew meters for evaluating the moisture content of a plastic material. Our Injection Molding Basics series provides participants with a general understanding of the three major aspects of injection molding; the injection molding machine, the molding process, and the injection mold. These programs use 3D animation to demonstrate the inner workings of the machine and mold and to easily convey otherwise complex concepts. Important safety precautions are stressed throughout these training programs. A. Routsis Associates – Complete Training Solutions for the Plastics Industry.
