Molding is a versatile process used to create various products from different materials.
Understanding the types of machines involved can help you choose the right equipment for your needs.
Here are three key machines used in molding processes.
What machine makes molding? 3 Key Machines Explained
1. Blow Molding Machine for Plastic Injection Molding
A blow molding machine, also known as a plastic injection molding machine, is used to produce molded plastic parts.
This machine converts plastic pellets into a molten material.
It then injects the molten material into a mold.
This process allows for the production of complex shapes in large quantities.
2. Hydraulic Hot Press Machine for Rubber Molding
In the case of rubber molding, a hydraulic hot press machine is used.
This machine applies pressure and heat to vulcanize the rubber.
The hot press machine consists of two metal plates with cavities that conform to the outer shape of the desired finished part.
The rubber compound is placed between the plates and subjected to pressure and heat.
This results in the formation of the final product.
3. Different Types of Molding Machines for Different Materials
It's important to note that there are different types of molding machines for different materials and processes.
For plastic injection molding, a blow molding machine is used.
For rubber molding, a hydraulic hot press machine is used.
Each machine has its own specific function and operation.
