Plastic pen production will need three machines: a pen injection molding machine, an ink refill machine, and an automatic pen assembly machine.
1. Step 1:Raw material preparation for all of the pen components.
2. Step 2: Ballpoint pens part manufacturing process by injection molding.
3. Step 3:Pen refill production.
4. Step 4:Assembling the pens process
5. Step 5: Testing and Quality Inspection.
Haichen 160t -310t plastic pen injection machine suit for all of the pen making.
A fully automatic ball pen making machine, will need a pen injection molding machine and an automatic pen assembly machine.
To illustrate the automatic pen machine, we need to first understand the types of pens. There are many types of pens. Like ballpoint pens, DF pens, gel pens, Novelty Pens… Normally all of those pens’ plastic parts, are made by a pen injection molding machine.
There are lots different between the pen. Like the biggest difference between a DF pen and an ordinary pen is that a DF pen is to pour ink directly into the barrel, which is equivalent to the entire barrel becoming a refill. The ordinary pen has a separate refill, the ink is poured into the refill, and then the refill is put into the barrel, which is a complete pen. DF pens have no way to replace the refill, and can only be discarded directly after use. Some accessories of DF pen can also be produced with injection molding machines, but customers need to solve the part of filling ink by themselves.
As you know different parts of the pen with different materials. Like the pen barrel we will use PP, pen pipe will use other materials…
Normally the ballpoint pens differnt parts will need differnt machines. Normally, the whole production line for automatic pen machines, includes 3 main machines as belows:
The injection molding machine is the first machine in the whole automatic pen machines. It will injection molding machine pen barrle,cap,tube, grip…
After the extortion machine produces the ink pipe, we can start to fill the ink into pipe, by filling machine.
At last, the ballpoint pen automatic assembly line is a production line that uses mechanical devices to automatically complete the assembly of ballpoint pens. This type of production line typically includes multiple workstations, each responsible for different assembly tasks such as automatic pen holder placement, automatic pen core loading, automatic pen nozzle loading, automatic pen nozzle rotation, automatic tail plug loading, and automatic pen cap loading. Each stage is equipped with testing institutions to ensure precise and stable production.
Finally, the quality inspection of ballpoint pens after assembly is a complex and multi-step process involving multiple aspects of testing and inspection. The key is the inspection of appearance and usage. A standardized testing mechanism ensures the quality of ballpoint pens manufacture.
In summary, the automatic pen machines including 3 machines: injection molding machine, ink filling machine, assembling machine.
The injection molding machine produce the main plastic parts for pens; ink filling and assemble.

Haichen injection molding machines are first used in pen production to make plastic pen molding molds. According to the design parameters, make pen parts molds for pen caps, pen covers, and other parts. These molds are the foundation of the final product, ensuring that the appearance and function of the pen meet the design requirements.
The processing of various components by injection molding machines is an important step in pen production. By clamping the mold onto the pen injection molding machine, injecting melted plastic liquid, and waiting for it to cool and form, various components of the pen are produced. For example, the production process of ballpoint pens includes injection molding machine processing of various components, assembly of various components, packaging, and other steps.
The production process of the injection molding machine using PS material in the manufacturing process of the ballpoint pen is as follows 5 steps:
What machines are used to make pens? The answer is 3 different machines:
Pen injection molding machine：in the production process of ball pens, injection molding machines process various components, including pen caps, pen covers, etc.
The pen ink refill assembly machine: required for the production of ballpoint pen ink refills is a mechanical device specifically designed to complete the assembly of ballpoint pen refills automatically. This machine can assemble the pen holder, pen cap, pen core, pen tip, and other components.
Automatic assembling machine: The main components of the ballpoint pen automatic assembly machine include the pen barrel storage mechanism, defective product removal mechanism, detection mechanism, streamline component, cotton core assembly mechanism, top rotation mechanism, hot stamping top mechanism, hot stamping module, and pressing mechanism. Machines can achieve 24-hour uninterrupted production, with production efficiency 10-15 times higher than manual labor.
The raw materials required for ballpoint pen production mainly include the following types of plastic pellets :
1. Polypropylene (PP): Polypropylene is a common general-purpose plastic with good mechanical properties and heat resistance, commonly used in the manufacture of various pen parts products. Like ballpoint pen tube and pen cap.
2. Polyethylene (PE): Polyethylene with good chemical resistance and low temperature resistance, is commonly used in the manufacture of injection molded pen parts.
3. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): Polyvinyl chloride is an engineering plastic with good chemical and heat resistance, commonly used in the manufacture of ball pen plastic parts.
4. Polystyrene (PS): Polystyrene with good transparency and mechanical properties, used in the production of pen shells and precision ball pen parts. Like the barrel of ball pens.
5. Polycarbonate (PC): Polycarbonate is an engineering plastic with excellent mechanical properties and heat resistance, used in ballpoint pen manufacture.
These plastic particle raw materials are processed and mixed to form specific plastic materials, which are then manufactured into the required ballpoint pens through processes such as extrusion and injection molding.
The main cities producing ballpoint pens in China are concentrated in Fenshui Town, Tonglu, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. This area is the core base of China’s ballpoint pen manufacturing industry and has a significant industrial cluster effect.
Fenshui Town is known as the “hometown of Chinese pen making” and the “base of Chinese ballpoint pen manufacturing”. Its pen making industry originated in the late 1970s and has formed a complete industrial chain after years of development, covering mold processing, raw material supply, production and manufacturing, logistics and sales, and other links.
Ningbo, Zhejiang Province also have lots pens manufactures,like : Ningbo Beifa Pen Industry is one of the large pen making enterprises in China, with an annual output of about 3 billion pens. It used to rely on imported pen tip steel, but later achieved a breakthrough of 37% through the localization technology of Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group.
