Injection molding cycle


1. To make a shot: use screw (extruder)
equation for flow rate (Q) to produce a
shot volume (vol = Q*t).
back pressure gives dp term
time (t) bounded by cycle time (upper)
and degradation of material (lower)

ME 6222: Manufacturing Processes and Systems


Prof. J.S. Colton GIT 2011

35

Injection molding cycle


2. To inject the plastic: use pressure flow
equations and injection pressure (p)
or injection time (t) and volume to be
filled (shot volume) to determine flow
rate (Q) and hence time (t) or injection
pressure (p) required to fill mold
injection time (t) will be limited by freezing
of plastic and degradation of material

Limits on ejection temperature


Plastic must be cool enough to
withstand ejection force from ejection
pins without breaking
Plastic must be cool enough so that

Ejection force
Ejection pins force the part out of the
mold after the part has cooled and
solidified enough.
The part will shrink onto any cores,
leading to an interference fit.
Model as a thin walled cylinder with

(metal mold).
