USING INJECTION MOULDING

COMPONENT DIAGRAM
MATERIALS SELECTION
MATERIAL : POLY PROPYLENE (PP)

ADVANTAGES:
•Polypropylene’s chemical properties mean it does not
react with acids which makes it the ideal material for
containers made to hold acidic liquids such as cleaning
agents.
•Polypropylene is also highly resistant to corrosion and
chemical leaking, making it the choice material for piping
PP
systems. The plastic resists to freezing well too, so climate
conditions are also not an issue for polypropylene pipes.

MATERIALS PROPERTIES &
APPLICATIONS
 EJECTION SYSTEM
We are using PLATE TYPE
Ejection

Stripper Plate Ejection:

Stripper plate systems are very

effective and usually more efficient
than pins wherever they can be used as
they support the maximum area
possible during ejection.

Typical applications are for tubular

parts and circular, square or
rectangular boxes. Stripper plate
systems are also often used in
conjunction with other forms of
ejection. They are used with pins,
sleeves and blade ejection, and
sometimes with compressed air.
PARTING SURFACE:

No parting lines for

our component
MACHINE SPECS
IMPRESSION LATOUT
Machine shot capacity = 70 gm (poly propylene)
Number of cavities based on machine
capacity :-

Formula = .85xWt.R
_________
Wt.C

Sol:-

= 85 %(of shot capacity)x 20.3 =

------------------------------ 4.10
4.2

Number of cavity = 4 no's

So we are selected Multi Cavity Mould

COOLING SYSTEM
We are AIR COOLING method is using for our mould

Air Cooling System for Injection Molding Air

injection mold cooling systems transfer heat
from an injection molding machine's running
water lines to the ambient air around those lines
within a cooler. Because air does not transmit heat
as well as water, air-cooled .
RUNNER SYSTEM
We are using Spure type Runner system for our Mould
MOULD ALIGNMENT
Mold alignment is the act of aligning the
cavity mold plate and the core mold plate in
plastic injection mold bases.

 Usually guide pillar and bush type used in

molding,
 But we are using Dowel pins for this ,mould

8. Cavities Based on Machine Shot Capacity

(F/M TDDB Pg.No: 22)
Machine Shot Capacity = 70 grams.
