Transfer moulding is a process that has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Transfer Moulding (5 Key Points)
1. Complex Shapes
Transfer moulding allows for the creation of complex shapes that might be difficult to achieve with other methods.
This is because the stock material is forced into the mold cavity under pressure, conforming to the intricate details of the mold.
2. Uniformity
The process ensures that the final component is uniform.
This is crucial for the functionality and reliability of parts, especially in precision applications.
3. Excessive Flash
If too much rubber or material is used, it can lead to heavy flash, which is excess material that leaks out of the mold cavity.
This flash is not only wasteful but also requires additional effort to remove, increasing the overall production time and cost.
4. Longer Cycle Times
The process of loading the stock into the pot, heating it, and then transferring it into the mold cavity can be time-consuming.
This can lead to longer cycle times compared to other molding processes, affecting the overall efficiency of production.
5. Increased Labor
The complexity of the process, especially in terms of loading and unloading the mold, requires more labor.
This not only increases the cost but also the potential for human error, which can affect the quality of the final product.
