4 tips of environmental requirements for injection molding machine usingFour key points to consider, about the environmental requirements for injection molding machines using:
- Air Temperature: Min: +10°C, Max: +40°C
- Altitude: Below 1000 meters, above sea level.
- Humidity: Ambient Humidity Requirement: Min: 20%, Max: 80%.
- Foundation: The Requirement of the foundation for the injection molding machine is a dry, dust-free place.
The injection molding machine is the main molding equipment for making thermoplastics or thermosets into plastic products of various shapes using plastic molding molds. The installation of an injection molding machine has some requirements for the environment.
There are approximately 4 tips when you want to use plastic injection molding machines.
1. 4 tips of environmental requirements for injection molding machine using: Air Temperature
Ambient Air Temperature Requirement for injection molding machine: Min: +10°C , Max: +40°C
When the injection molding machine is installed, it is necessary to pay attention to the surrounding environment, which is easy to operate and has good lighting and ventilation.
The ambient temperature during injection molding machine operation is 10~40 °C.
In fact, the injection molding machine can also be used in cold environments, but special attention should be paid to whether the oil will condense.
Therefore, the room temperature of the injection molding machine is between 10 and 40 degrees.
2. 4 tips of environmental requirements for injection molding machine using: Altitude
Below 1000 meters, above sea level .
The installation site of injection molding machine should be situated at an elevation below 1000 meters and above sea level.
The injection molding machine shall not be installed in a place with a lot of dust and a high concentration of corrosive gases.
Theoretically, the range of application of the machine is below 1000 meters above sea level, but if it is higher than this altitude, it will not affect the use of the machine
The place where the injection molding machine is installed should be far away from equipment that will cause electrical or magnetic field interference (such as welding machines, etc.). The installation site should be situated at an elevation below 1000 meters above sea level.
3. 4 tips of environmental requirements for injection molding machine using: Humidity
Ambient Humidity Requirement for injection molding machine using:
Min: 20% ,Max: 80%
And the relative humidity is below 75%, and there shall be no condensation. If the humidity is too high, the insulation performance of the electrical components will be reduced, or the electrical components will be aged prematurely.
The requirements for ambient humidity of injection molding machines are relatively relaxed, with a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 80%.
4.Foundation
The Requirement of foundation for injection molding machine using is : Dry, dust-free place
The place where the machine is installed should be placed in a ventilated, dry, dust-free place with sufficient operating space to ensure that it can be installed, debugged and maintained around the equipment, and at the same time, it should be ensured that the operator can easily inspect, take and transport the products.
There should be enough space in the place where the device is installed.
If the machine is installed on a concrete foundation, then the civil engineer should confirm the condition of the foundation before proceeding with the construction of the concrete foundation. If the injection molding machine is installed on a flexible anti-seismic foot, it can save the foundation, but the ground bearing capacity is required to be more than 10t/m2, and such a shockproof pad makes the whole machine in a stable and horizontal running state.
We strongly advise consulting local construction companies and contractors,including construction experts and structural engineers, for the construction of the foundation. The foundation must be constructed according to the outline drawings provided by our company in advance.
Consider the following points while constructing the foundation:
- Provide sufficient space around the machine for convenient operation and access from all directions.
- Ensure the foundation has adequate bearingcapacity ( >2.5 t/m2 ).
- Allow enough height space for mold loading, unloading, and product removal.
These environmental conditions are vital to ensure the optimal performance of the injection moldong machine during production. Those are 4 tips of environmental requirements for injection molding machine using.
Is injection moulding good for the environment?
Injection molding itself is not a completely environmentally friendly process. But by taking a series of improvement measures, its negative impact on the environment can be significantly reduced. For example, using recyclable materials, optimizing energy efficiency and implementing waste management strategies are all viable solutions. Therefore, injection molding can be considered “environmentally friendly” to a certain extent, but the premise is that appropriate environmental protection measures must be taken.
