Introduction
Production of high quality plastic parts requires precise and controlled processes. One of the most important processes is mixing plastic materials and color, removing moisture and dust from plastic granules and transferring materials to plastic injection machines. This article examines the different stages of these processes and the devices used in them.
Mixing plastic materials and colors
Mixing plastic materials and color is one of the first steps in the production of plastic parts. This process is done to ensure uniformity of color and mechanical properties of parts. Plastic material and color mixer devices are used for this purpose.
Plastic material and color mixer devices
There are different types of mixers for plastic materials and colors that are selected depending on the needs and type of materials used. Some of the features of these devices are:
Fast mixers: for fast and uniform mixing of materials and colors.
High capacity mixers: for production in large volumes.
Precise control of temperature and time: to preserve material properties and prevent color or quality changes.
Removing moisture and dust from plastic granules
It is very important to remove moisture and dust from the plastic granules before the plastic injection process. Moisture and impurities in plastic materials can affect the final quality of parts. Gasifiers are designed for this purpose.
Gas devices
Degassing devices are used to remove moisture and excess material from plastic granules. These devices have the following features:
Hot air dryers: To remove moisture using hot air flow.
Dust filters: to remove suspended particles and pollution.
Temperature and humidity control systems: to ensure complete drying of materials.
Material transfer for molding
After mixing and dehumidification, plastic granules should be transferred to plastic injection machines. This step is done using material removal devices.
Plastic injection molding machines
Material conveyors are designed to transfer plastic materials to injection machines. These devices have the following features:
High suction power: for fast and efficient transfer of materials.
Filter systems: to prevent contamination from entering materials during transport.
Automatic control: for accurate management and optimization of the material transfer process.
Conclusion
Mixing plastic materials and color, removing moisture and dust, and transferring materials to plastic injection machines are critical steps in the production of high quality plastic parts. The use of advanced mixer, degassing and material removal devices helps to improve the final quality of products and increase the efficiency of production processes. Considering the importance of these steps in the plastic injection industry, it is necessary to update and use new technologies in this field.
