Ejection

Ejection :

The last stage is ejection from the machine. This is done with an ejection system. When the mould opens the part is pushed out, Force must be used because the part shrinks and sticks to the mould. The mould can be shut again after ejection and another shot can be injected for the process to begin again.

Mould design is a key factor in determining the quality of the finished product. The strength, durability, shape and size all rely on the type of mould that is used. The mould must be sturdy and be able to withstand the pressures involved during the injection process. The polymer must also be able to flow properly along the mould. The mould must also be carefully designed to allow heat transfer to control the cooling process.

This is a complex process and it takes highly trained individuals to oversee the entire process. At APL while it is important to keep output levels high safety is also a primary concern.

At Automatic Plastics we do our very best to offer quality plastic parts across a wide range of industries using this process. Contact APL regarding your injection moulding needs we are very happy to talk with you regarding your requirements and can offer you a highly competitive quote.
