For those unfamiliar with vertical injection molding machines, you might wonder: what products do they primarily produce? What are their uses and classifications? In terms of uses, all plastic products around us are injection molded. The difference lies in the size: large-sized parts are made using horizontal machines, while small-sized parts are made using vertical machines. Today, we'll discuss vertical injection molding machines, specifically for molding small-sized plastic parts.
Common applications for vertical injection molding machines include: electronic wire harnesses, electronic components, power plugs, medical supplies, stationery, sporting goods, golf balls, eyeglasses, hardware and plastic products, metal powder injection parts, BMC material injection parts, automotive (motorcycle) parts, zippers, and wires. These products are characterized by small-sized injection molding, which a vertical machine can readily meet.
With continuous technological advancements, the variety of vertical injection molding machines has increased, leading to their increasingly widespread applications. Currently, the most commonly used vertical injection molding machine models on the market include: rotary machines, standard machines, C-type machines, two-color machines, and liquid silicone injection machines.
Rotary machines are primarily used for injection molding various plastic parts, such as seals, coil frames, lighting fixtures, switches, appliance components, and mechanical instrument parts.
Standard machines are mainly used for injection molding various electronic products and appliance components, such as coil frames, fan blades, and connectors.
C-type machines are mainly used for overmolding various power plugs, such as AC plugs, DC plugs, and various export plugs conforming to American, European, and Japanese standards.
Two-color machines are mainly used for various two-color injection molding requirements, such as toothbrush handles, bicycle handlebars, and chips.
Liquid silicone injection molding machines are primarily used in the medical and adult product industries. These industries require higher cleanliness levels, so liquid silicone injection molding necessitates superior sealing designs, and improvements have been made to the raw material storage and feeding systems.
In general, the types of products produced by vertical injection molding machines depend on the material and dimensions of the raw materials. Manufacturers can customize machine types and models according to specific needs.
