Automatic plastic cup thermoforming machine (also known as flat vulcanizing machine, rubber vulcanizing machine, small tablet press, automatic tablet press) is a kind of molding machine, suitable for polymers in the rubber and plastic industries such as PVC, masterbatch and other chemical raw materials It can be used as the basis for batching before mass production in the factory. The plastic or rubber raw material is placed in the mold, sandwiched between the upper and lower electric heating plates, and pressure is applied under the intelligent constant temperature of the electric heating plate to make the raw material shape.

The commonly used materials for plastic water cups are space glass and AS plastic. Space glass, also known as PC engineering plastics, is a widely used material around the world, and its main component is polycarbonate. Lightweight and durable, this material has excellent insulation, elongation, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and high strength, heat and cold resistance. It also has the advantages of self-extinguishing, flame retardant, non-toxic, and colorable. The disadvantage is that it has insufficient hardness compared with metal, which makes its appearance easier to scratch. 

AS plastic is a copolymer of acrylonitrile (A) and styrene (S). It has moderate weather resistance and is not affected by high humidity environments. It is resistant to general grease, detergents and mild alcohol. It has poor fatigue resistance and is not easy to It cracks due to internal stress, and the material has high transparency. It is often used to make plastic products such as trays, water cups, tableware, toothbrushes, instrument mirrors, and packaging boxes.

The injection molding of the automatic plastic cup thermoforming machine uses the thermophysical properties of the plastic to add the material from the hopper into the barrel, which is heated by a heating ring outside the barrel to melt the material. The material is gradually plasticized, melted and homogenized under the double action of screw shearing. When the screw rotates, the material will push the melted material to the head of the screw under the action of the friction force and shearing force of the falling groove. 

At the same time, the screw retreats under the reaction of the material, so that the head of the screw forms a storage space and completes the plasticization process. Then, under the action of the injection cylinder piston, the screw injects the molten material in the storage chamber through the nozzle at high speed and high pressure. In the cavity of the mold, after the molten material in the cavity has been pressure-maintained, cooled, solidified and shaped, the mold opens the mold under the action of the clamping mechanism, and the shaped product is ejected from the mold through the ejector device.

This is the end of this article, more questions and corresponding answers would be listed in the next article.

The injection molding of the plastic thermoforming machine uses the thermophysical properties of the plastic to add the material from the hopper into the barrel. The outside of the barrel is heated by a heating ring to melt the material. The barrel is equipped with a screw driven by an external power motor to rotate. The material is gradually plasticized, melted and homogenized under the double action of screw shearing. When the screw rotates, the material will push the melted material to the head of the screw under the action of the friction force and shearing force of the falling groove. At the same time, the screw retreats under the reaction of the material, so that the head of the screw forms a storage space and completes the plasticization process. Then, under the action of the injection cylinder piston, the screw injects the molten material in the storage chamber through the nozzle at high speed and high pressure. In the cavity of the mold, after the molten material in the cavity has been pressure-maintained, cooled, solidified and shaped, the mold opens the mold under the action of the clamping mechanism, and the shaped product is ejected from the mold through the ejector device. 

A mold that uses plastic plates and sheets as raw materials to form some simpler plastic products. In the case of softening, it is deformed and attached to the cavity of the mold to obtain the desired molded product, which is mainly used in the production of some daily necessities, food and toy packaging products.

Due to the low pressure during molding, the mold material is mostly made of cast aluminum or non-metallic materials, and the structure is relatively simple.

Both thermosetting plastics and thermoplastics can be produced by injection molding machines. If thermosetting plastics are produced, the injection molding machine needs to be slightly modified. That is, the nozzle of the injection molding machine needs to be replaced, the nozzle is enlarged, and the backstop ring needs to be replaced. The backstop ring is used to prevent the plastic from flowing back.

Thermoset yellowstone is used very little these days, and I have hardly heard of it. A long time ago, more than ten years ago, I heard that the reflectors of our car lights use that thermosetting plastic, and some bread machines, ovens, etc., also use some thermosetting materials. But it is rarely used now, because many are replaced by thermoplastics.

Thermosetting plastics are cumbersome and expensive. I don't know the price of thermosetting material, but it is definitely more expensive than ordinary PP. Thermosetting plastics cannot be crushed and remolded. If there is a problem with a waste product, it is useless, you smash it, and it cannot be melted again. Thermoplastic, it can be crushed and reused, you can crush it and reuse it, and crush it and reuse it. There are also thermosetting materials, many of which require baking paint and electroplating on the surface. If there is waste, it may be scrapped.

Injection molding machines that produce thermoset materials are generally modified from very old injection molding machines. Because it is easy to produce and does not need debugging, it is heated by a heating rod mold and has no waterway, so it is usually an old machine to be modified to produce thermosetting plastic products.

Plastic molding processing equipment is developed on the basis of rubber machinery and metal die-casting machines. Plastic thermoforming machine is a kind of molding machine. The plastic or rubber raw material is placed in the mold, sandwiched between the upper and lower electric heating plates, and pressure is applied under the intelligent constant temperature of the electric heating plate to shape the raw materials.

Types of plastic molding machine processing equipment

Plastic Thermoforming Machine

There are only three types of plastic thermoforming methods for thermoforming machines, namely female mold forming, male mold forming and paired mold forming. The thermoforming machine should be able to repeat the thermoforming production cycle according to a certain program to make exactly the same product. There are many types of thermoforming machines, there are manual, semi-automatic and automatic thermoforming machines.

Thermoforming products are large in volume and small in quantity, so semi-automatic or manual thermoforming machines are suitable. On the contrary, if the volume of the product is small and the quantity is large, it is more appropriate to use an automatic thermoforming machine. It is suitable for the mixing, processing and batching test of chemical raw materials such as PVC and masterbatch in the rubber and plastic industries to detect whether the required color and quality are achieved, which can be used as the basis for batching before mass production in factories.

Plastic Injection Molding Machine

Plastic injection molding is a molding method of injection and molding, and its equipment is called plastic injection molding machine, or injection molding machine for short. Plastic injection molding machines are the main molding equipment for making thermoplastics and thermosets into various plastic products. Ordinary plastic injection molding machine refers to the most widely used single-screw or plunger horizontal, vertical or angle single-station injection molding machine for processing thermoplastics.

And other types of injection molding machines, such as thermosetting plastics, structural foaming, multi-component, reactive, exhausted and other injection molding machines, refer to some of the materials to be processed and the structural characteristics of the machine that are quite different from ordinary plastic injection molding machines. Injection molding machine. About 30% of the world's plastic raw materials are used for injection molding, and injection molding machines account for about 40% of the total output of plastic machinery, and have become an important part of the plastic processing industry and plastic machinery industry, which is the growth of plastic machinery products. One of the fastest models with the largest variety of specifications and the largest production quantity.

Plastic extruder

In the plastic extrusion molding equipment, the plastic extruder is usually called the main machine, and the subsequent equipment plastic extrusion molding machine is called the auxiliary machine. After more than 100 years of development, plastic extruders have been derived from the original single-screw, twin-screw, multi-screw, and even no-screw models. Plastic extruder (host) can be used with various plastic forming auxiliary machines such as pipe, film, holding material, monofilament, flat wire, packing belt, extruding mesh, plate (sheet) material, profiled material, granulation, cable coating and so on. Match to form various plastic extrusion molding production lines to produce various plastic products. Therefore, plastic extrusion molding machinery is one of the widely used models in the plastic processing industry.

Plastic blow molding machine

Blow molding consists of two basic steps: first molding the parison, and then using compressed air (and a stretch rod) to radially inflate (and axially stretch) the parison to make it close to (stretch) blow molding Mould cavity, giving the shape and size of the cavity to the product, and cooling it.

Multilayer blow molding

There are two types of molding: co-extrusion blow molding and co-injection blow molding; stretch blow molding includes injection stretch blow molding and extrusion stretch blow molding. Stretch blow molding can be divided into one-step method and two-step method.

Presses and Transfer Molding Machines

Compression molding and transfer molding are the main molding methods for thermosets. The press for compression molding and the transfer molding machine for transfer molding are the main molding equipment for thermosetting plastics to make various plastic products. The function of the press is to apply pressure to the plastic through the plastic mold. If a fixed mold is used, it also has the function of opening and closing the mold and ejecting the product. The presses used for compression molding are divided into two categories: mechanical presses and hydraulic presses.
