    The document discusses different methods for molding plastics, including compression molding, injection molding, transfer molding, and extrusion molding. Compression molding uses heat and high pressure to mold resin powders or granules into shapes. Injection molding involves injecting melted resin under pressure into molds and is widely used. Transfer molding uses the principles of injection molding for thermosetting materials. Extrusion molding produces continuous molded articles like tubes, rods, and pipes from thermoplastic resins.

    MOULDING OF PLASTICS

    THEORY

    Fabrication / Moulding of Plastics


    The fabrication is the process in which the prepared resins in the
    form of granules of powder are converted into desired shape by
    using various machines or moulds.
    There are many ways by which the compound materials at
    transformed into finished articles.
    The basic principle involved in this is partially melting resigns
    mass by the application of heat and then further compressed in
    dies / mould with the help of high pressure to get desired shape.
    The following methods for fabrication are in practice :

    (1) Compression moulding :


    Guide pins

    Pressure
    Top moulding part
    (male die)
    Bottom moulding part
    (female die)

    Extraction pin
    Moulding plastic
    ingredients in cavity

    Compression moulding of plastics

    It is the most common method for moulding there setting


    materials which can with stand high temp and press.
    Resin powder is preheated to about 1200C and pressure
    from 2.000 to 10.000 psi are used.
    e.g. Ash trays, electric switch bores to radio, T.V. cabinets
    etc.

    Injection moulding of plastics

    It is one of the most widely used processes for moulding


    thermoplastic materials.
    Resin powder is injected under pressure 1758 Kg. / cm. 2 and
    temp is about 1000C.

    (3) Transfer moulding :


    Plunger
    Moulding power
    in plastic state

    Prc-heater

    Orifice

    Liquid plastic
    undergoing curve

    Upper part of mould

    Hing
    Lower part of mould

    Trasnfer moulding of plastics

    It is method uses the principle of injection moulding and is


    used for thermo setting materials.
    Powdered resins are placed in a heated chamber,
    maintained at a minimum temp, at which it just begin to
    become plastic. This plastic material is then injected through
    an orifice into the mould by plunger working at a high
    pressure.

    Conveyor belt

    Moulding of tube by horizontal extrusion moulding

    It is mainly used for manufacturing continuous moulding


    articles of thermoplastic resins.
    e.g. tubes, rods, strips, pipes, insulated electric cable, etc.
