There are two types of injection moulding machines Horizontal and Vertical.
Among these two, horizontal Injection Moulding machines are widely popular while a vertical machine is versatile & can save floor space.
The main parts of this machine are Hopper, barrel, heater bands, clamping unit, injection moulding screw and platens.
Hopper serves as the funnel into a barrel and placed near the plastic resin to inject it. The plastic resin can be injected automatically, manually or via vacuum.
The injection moulding screw works as a dual; melt the plastic and inject it directly into the mold.
The heater bands are placed around the batter to maintain the temperature during the injection moulding process.
The clamps open & close the mould. The 2 platens are used to hold the mold.
