3. INJECTION MOULDING PROCESS
FOR PLASTIC PROCESSING
 It is a manufacturing technique for making parts
from thermoplastic and thermoset materials
 In contrast to the extrusion (which makes
continuous parts of constant cross section),
injection molding make discrete parts (with
complex and variable cross section)
 Molten plastic is injected at high pressure into a
mold, which is the inverse of the desired shape.
 The mold is made from metal, usually either steel
or aluminium
 Widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts,
from the smallest component to entire body panels
of cars

4. INJECTION MOULDING MACHINE

5. MACHINE PARTS
 Hopper is a tapered container working with a hopping
motion to transfer grains into cylinder
 Inside the cylinder there is a piston /plunger which is used
to move the material from cylinder into the mold
 Heating arrangement is placed above and below the
cylinder .
 The mold is in two halves , it has a mold cavity and the
mold has two ejector pins.

6. PROCEDURE
 As soon as the plastic is melted it will be pushed by the
piston into the sprue through which the material
would go into the mold cavity .
 The cavity will be filled by the pressure of the piston
and the mold should not be opened until the plastic
solidifies.
 When the plastic solidifies the ejector pins are
hydraulically moved backwards .

7. MATERIALS USED
 Acetate
 Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
 Cellulose acetate
 PVC ( poly vinyl chloride)
 Polycarbonate
 Polyesters
e.t.c.

8. BLOW MOULDING PROCESS FOR
PLASTIC PROCESSING
 “It is a plastic processing technique which is used to
produce hollow plastic parts by inflating a heated
plastic until it fills a mold and forms the desired shape”
 The raw material used for processing in blow molding is
called parison
 Parison is a preform tube that is hollow and it has a hole
at one end

10. TYPES OF BLOW MOULDING
 Injection blow molding
 Stretch blow molding
 Extrusion blow molding

11. THERMOFORMING PROCESS FOR
PLASTIC PROCESSING
 “ Thermoforming is a plastic processing technique in
which the thermoplastic sheets are formed by applying
temperature and pressure inside the mold .”
 The raw material here is usually plastic sheet
 Different types of this process are
I. Vacuum forming
II. Pressure forming
III. Matched die forming

12. VACCUME FORMIMG PROCESS
o The vacuum pressure is used to form the heated
thermoplastic sheet into the desired shape.
o Thermoplastic sheet is placed on the mold surface
and fixed with the help of clamping unit.
o The sheet is heated until it softens and there after ,
vacuum needs to be applied quickly.
o There is tank with nozzles that suck air and creates
vacuum in between sheet and mold.

13. VACCUME FORMIMG PROCESS

14. APPLICATIONS OF
THERMOFORMIMG
 Thermoforming has many applications like
I. Food packaging
II. Automotive parts
III. Aircraft windscreens
IV. Vehicle doors
