What Is a Plastic Injection Machine?
A plastic injection machine is a piece of equipment that can produce parts with an endless array of shapes and sizes. Using a wide range of thermoplastics, they can create everything from tiny bottles to large automotive parts.
What Are The Major Components of a Plastic Injection Molding Machine?
The basic machine consists of a barrel (cylindrical pipe), material hopper, a reciprocating screw and heaters that provide thermal energy for the melting process. A nozzle, which dispenses melted plastic into the injection mold, is also connected to the machine.
