ABSTRACT
Todays Plastic Injection molding process as one of the most widely
used processes for producing plastics
products. As in other forming processes, the characteristics of
plastic injection molding procedures are
significantly affected by the quality of the plastic products by the
different levels for its process parameters. To
find the effect of various level for the process parameters is
becoming a research issue and is now known as
finding the efficient frontier of the parameters. The effect of
parameters in plastic injection molding process and
its influence on product quality and costs. The main aim of this
paper is to study the effect of different
parameters on polypropylene work material for a plastic injection
molding process during manufacturing of
bottle cover. In this paper study of parameter like injection
molding temperature, injection molding pressure
and cooling time used to find the effect on polypropylene work
material in plastic injection molding process with
a number of experiments have been conducted in pre-planned way
on injection molding machine to understand
the effect of various parameters on weight of product.
