INJECTION SCREW [14 records]

Record 1 2007-11-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
DEF

The technique used to partially clear the resin from the injection nozzle after the injection cycle. By pulling the screw rearward, the resin is drawn back into the injector.

CONT

Most machines retract the screw slightly at this point to decompress the material to prevent drooling out of the nozzle. This is called the suck back and is usually controlled by a timer.

OBS

When the pressure on the sprue is not held long enough for the resin to cool before the screw returns, some of the hot resin in the cavities or runner system may expand back into the nozzle and cause sink marks on the finished part.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
DEF

Special screw injection process for moulding thick-walled articles, developed by Anker and Eckert und Ziegler.

CONT

Intrusion molding. When heavy sections are molded or when the shooting capacity of the machine is not adequate, intrusion molding can be used, where the screw turns continually and fills the cavity directly. When the cavity is filled, a cushion is extruded in front of the plunger, which then comes forward to supply the needed injection pressure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Intrusion. But : fabriquer des pièces très épaisses, pour lesquelles la capacité de plastification de la machine est trop faible. Principe : Le dispositif de plastification extrude la matière dans le moule et le remplit. La compression de la matière peut se faire de 2 manières : -Par la pression d'extrusion de la machine (utilisation d'une extrudeuse, ou blocage du recul de la vis d'une presse d'injection). -Par la pression d'injection de la presse. Dans ce cas, la machine plastifie de la matière jusqu'à un dosage voulu. Ensuite, injection de la matière, comme dans le cas d'une injection classique.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Industrial Tools and Equipment
  • Machinery
CONT

In a modern injection molding machine, the pellets are conveyed forward within the barrel by a rotating screw, and melt as they go. The molten plastic is deposited at the forward end of the barrel, displacing the screw backward. When enough material has been plasticized, a hydraulic cylinder pushes the screw forward, forcing the molten plastic ahead of it through a nozzle, sprue, runners, and a narrow gate into a water-cooled mold cavity, where the molten plastic solidifies.

CONT

... if the equipment with the malfunction is a plastic injection molding machine, the possible functions might include injection forward, injection return, screw run, back pressure control, clamp close, clamp pressurization, prefill shift, mold protect, and clamp open.

OBS

There are about 80, 000 injection-molding machines in about 8, 000 plants in the United States.... About 95% of the machine are either reciprocating screw or two-stage screws. The balance are plunger machines.

OBS

... preplasticizing machine. Of the equipment in use today, 95% is preplasticizing; either with a reciprocating screw or a screw-pot. In a reciprocating screw the melted material is collected in front of the screw, which continues to move backward against a controlled pressure as more material is melted. The area where the melted material is collected corresponds to the pot in a two-stage machine. When the screw is pushed forward by the hydraulic injection cylinder(s), a check valve(nonreturn valve) is closed. At this time the screw and nonreturn valve act like a plunger.

La machine la plus utilisée est la presse à vis-piston. On parle alors de préplastification; en effet la vis assure ici deux fonctions : -fonction vis en tournant sur son axe : plastification de la matière de façon homogène, -fonction piston en avançant le long de son axe : matière poussée dans le moule par l'extrémité de la vis (qui joue le rôle de piston).

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

Reciprocating screw systems. In a reciprocating(in-line) screw, the material is fed from the hopper, plasticized in the screw, and forced past a one-way valve at the injection end of the screw. The material accumulates in front of the screw, forcing back the screw, its drive and motor, and the pistons of the two hydraulic injection cylinders.... When the screw reaches a certain position, it contacts a limit switch that stops the rotation. When the cycle is ready to inject, two hydraulic injection cylinders, one on each side of the carriage, move the screw assembly forward and use the screw as an injection ram.

CONT

A typical injection screw is... in effect, a series of endless buckets; that is, a mechanical conveyor.

CONT

The injection screw is divided into three parts. The first half of the screw compresses the material and removes the air. The flight depth is constant. The second part(third quarter) of the screw has decreasing flight depths, thus reducing the volume. Reduction of the volume increases the friction of the polymer molecules as they rub over each other, increasing the temperature. At the end of this section all the material should be melted(plasticized). The third part(last quarter) of the screw is a pump. The flight depth is constant but smaller than the first section because melted material takes up less volume than powder.

The hydraulic injection cylinders are located on each side of the screw or there is a single hydraulic cylinder directly behind the screw. They bring the screw forward, injecting previously melted material into the mold cavity. The injection pressure is maintained for a predetermined length of time. This is called the boost or hold pressure.
