Small injection molding machines are widely used due to their lightness and high adaptability to various types of customer production, which makes it able to meet the needs of many users.
Plastic injection molding is an extremely versatile manufacturing process, which means that it produces parts of different shapes, sizes and complexity.
Haichen, as a production company of small plastic injection molding machinery, produces parts that are strong, durable, and have a long service life, suitable for a variety of uses, some of which are more common than others.
Small injection molding machine have a wide range of applications.Covering different areas from civil to pedagogical.
There are six applications:
Industrial production supported by small injection molding machines
- Small batch manufacturing
- Laboratory applications
- Automotive and consumer goods industry
- Education and R&D
- Environmental protection and energy saving
- Flexibility and Mobility
Small batch manufacturing
Suitable for the production of small quantities of specialised parts.
Such as electronic sensors, microswitches, USB ports, PCB boards with connectors, etc..
Laboratory applications
Precision injection molding for the preparation of various test samples (e.g. tensile, impact samples, colour cards).
Automotive and consumer goods industry
Producing automotive parts, plastic shells for small home appliances, medical device parts, etc.
Education and R&D
Suitable for educational institutions and R&D teams for experimentation and prototyping.
Environmental protection and energy saving
Handle a variety of environmentally friendly materials, reduce the use of harmful substances and achieve resource recycling.
Flexibility and Mobility
Compact size, easy to relocate and install, suitable for production needs in limited space.
Small injection molding machines play an important role in many fields due to their flexibility, efficiency and low cost.
What parts can a small injection molding machine make?
Small injection molding machine applications to manufacture a wide range of small precision parts.
There are six common types of products:
- Electronic product parts
- Medical equipment parts
- Automotive parts
- Household appliance parts
- Toys and models
- Other small parts
Electronic product parts
Such as mobile phone shells, charger shells, battery compartments, electronic sensors, microswitches, USB ports, PCB boards with connectors and so on.
Medical device parts
Such as medical syringes, infusion devices, medical packaging.
Auto parts
Such as auto parts moulds, auto door puller, etc.
Household appliance parts
Such as air conditioner shell, washing machine injection mould, electric oven shell, etc.
Toys and models
Such as children’s toys, Lego blocks, mini food and play models.
Other small parts
Such as bottle caps, screws, counters, rulers, coat hooks and so on.
These parts usually require high precision and complex shapes, and small injection molding machines are ideal because of their flexibility and efficiency.
Application of small injection molding machines for the manufacture of consumer goods
The application of small injection molding machines for the manufacture of consumer goods is a complete solution for injection molding production.
There are five steps involved:
- Mould preparation for consumer goods
- Consumer product material selection and heating
- Injection molding
- Cooling and curing
- Removal of the finished consumer product
Consumer product mould preparation
Firstly, design and manufacture the consumer product mould, the mould design needs to consider the shape of the part, gate, cooling and other factors.
Consumer product material selection and heating
Select the suitable plastic resin according to the demand of consumer products, and heat it to the molten state.
Injection molding
Molten plastic is injected into the mould through an injection device to form the desired shape.
The injection process is accurately controlled by a control system for speed, pressure and time.
Cooling and Curing
Cooling and Curing of the molten plastic to form the final consumer product.
Finished Product Removal
The mould is opened and the finished consumer product is removed.
Small injection molding machines are widely used in the consumer goods industry due to their flexibility and efficiency for small batch production, prototyping and diversified designs.
