Injection Molding

For the most part businesses using injection moulding are high volume manufacturers using either continuous flow or batch production. Where the parts are being produced for high volume, lean supply chains (e.g. the car industry) then up-time is critical and so it is essential that machine repairs can be made in a timely and professional manner. This is where the responsive approach of the professional team at Cylinder Service Centre really shows its worth.

By providing repairs and new parts, properly tested and in a timely manner, we can ensure that not only is the injection moulding machine up and running quickly with its new hydraulic or pneumatic part, but that it stays up and running.

Supported Types of Injection Moulding Processes

There is a wide range of different injection moulding processes or approaches the majority of which have either hydraulic, or pneumatic components that require either repair, or replacement over the life of the associated machines.

Cylinder Service Centre works with them all. An indicative list is shown below.

• Co-injection (sandwich) moulding
• Fusible (lost, soluble) core injection moulding
• Gas-assisted injection moulding
• In-mold decoration and in moulding lamination
• Injection-compression moulding
• Insert and outsert moulding
• Lamellar (microlayer) injection moulding
• Low-pressure injection moulding
• Metal injection moulding
• Microinjection moulding
• Microcellular moulding
• Multicomponent injection moulding
• Multiple live-feed injection moulding
• Powder injection moulding
• Push-Pull injection moulding
• Reaction injection moulding
• Resin transfer moulding
• Rheomoulding
• Structural foam injection moulding
• Structural reaction injection moulding
• Thin-wall moulding
• Vibration gas injection moulding
• Water assisted injection moulding
• Rubber injection Injection molding of liquid silicone rubber

More About Injection Moulding

Injection moulding is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. Raw material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mould cavity where it cools and hardens to the shape of the mould cavity.

Moulds are made by a toolmaker from metal, usually either steel or aluminum, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part to the required design. Injection moulding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts, from the smallest component to entire body panels of cars.
