    The key takeaways are that the Arburg 370S machine was selected for the injection moulding process due to its higher clamping force and mould platten dimensions being sufficient to accommodate the mould. Important design aspects like the sprue, runner, gates and cooling system were also considered.

    The Arburg 370S machine was selected as it had a higher clamping force of 600kN which was sufficient for the process as well as a larger mould platten dimension of 350mm between tie bars that could accommodate the mould dimensions including a 10mm margin on both sides. The 270S machine did not meet these criteria.

    The important dimensions considered for the sprue were a maximum diameter of 5mm, minimum of 4mm and length of 30mm with a 5mm extension. For the runner, the dimensions were a 30mm x 3mm edge gate with a length of 7mm and depth of 3mm.

    Selection of the Machine
    Available Choices:
    Arburg 270S, Arburg 370S

    For the Selection, the following criteria were


    used:
    Arburg 270S Arburg 370S

    Clamping Force(kN) 350 600

    Shot Weight(g of PP) 62 77

    Mould Platten 280 350


    Dimensions between
    Tie Bars (mm)
    Selection of the Machine
    Checking for Criterion 1
    Clamping Force = Injection Pressure x Projected Area
    Typical Injection Pressures for Poly Propylene = 1000 to 1500psi
    Injection Pressure for the part = 1500psi = 103.42 bar
    Projected Area = 8753.70 mm2
    Clamping Force Required = 181 kN

    Checking for Criterion 2


    Volume of the Part = 19.2 cm3 (Given)
    Volume of the part (with Shrinkage considered) = 19.536 cm3
    Volume of the Cavity = 19.536 x 2 = 39.072 cm3
    Mass of the Material in the Cavity = 36. 962 g
    Selection of the Machine
    Checking for Criteria 3
    Distance between Tie Bars for 270S = 280 mm
    Distance between Tie Bars for 370S = 350 mm
    Length required to accommodate the part in the decided configuration =
    263.4 mm
    Assuming that 10 mm margin is required at both sides between the part
    projection and the tie bars,
    We select machine Arburg 370S.

    mportant Dimensions
    Design of Sprue
    Maximum Diameter of Sprue = 5mm
    Minimum Diameter of Sprue = 4mm
    Length of Sprue = 30mm
    Extension of the Sprue = 5mm

    Runner and Gating


    Edge type Gating = 30mm x 3mm
    Length of Runner = 7mm
    Depth of Runner = 3mm
    Adjusted Length of Runner = 7 x1.01 = 7.07mm
    mportant Dimensions
    Design of Cooling System
    Continuous End-to-End Cooling Channels
    Diameter of Cooling Channels (D) = 8 mm
    Distance between Cooling Channels B = (0.7xD) = 5.6 mm
    Distance of cooling channels from the surface = 3mm
    Total Number of cooling channels = 38 (19 for each part)

    Ejector Pins
    Number of Ejector Pins = 2
    Considering the Ejector Pins as load bearing fixed at both ends
    Checking for Buckling = F = n 2 E I / L2 (n=4, L = 300mm)
    F = 218 kN (smaller than the clamping force,
    safe)

    Venting
    Critical Channel Depth for PP = 0.015mm
    ressure Drop in the Mould
    Formulae for Calculating Pressure Drop

    Injection Pressure = 103.4 bar

    Sprue (Circular Cross Section)


    D(P) = 3.45 bar

    Runner (Rectangular Cross Section)


    D(P) = 3.03 bar (both sides)

    Part (Rectangular Cross Section)


    D(P) = 10.07 bar
