Thermoplastic Injection Molding: Applications
Thermoplastic injection molding is the most widely used of all plastic processing methods. Once formed, thermoplastics can be heated, reformed and recycled over and over
again, reducing waste and saving on material costs.
While there are a variety of plastic injection mold options, the choice is usually determined by the
type of part and final application properties needed, as well as a
number of other factors (see Quotation Process for more information) including: (click on names for more information)
Hot Runner Injection Molds
- shoots material directly into individual cavities; eliminates the runner for reduced material cost and less handling
Cold Runner Injection Molds - injects material into
a runner system that redirects it into individual cavities; lower initial start-up cost than Hot Runner
Insert Mold – an “over-mold” to mold plastic around other materials, such as brass,
steel, aluminum, or even other plastic inserts, such as sleeves for drill housings, latches, and screen mesh buffer tubes
Two-Shot Injection Molds (also 1-Shot, 3-Shot and 4-Shot Molds) - a cost-effective
way to produce parts with 2 or more colors molded at the same time; eliminates a secondary
process to add logos, graphics or text.
Stack Molds – high production molds for multiple parting lines; can produce multiple
types of parts more economically over a large production run
Unscrewing Molds – to produce parts with internal or external
threads, such as nuts, nut augers, sprinkler heads
Thermoplastic Injection Molding: A High-Quality Mold Key to Successful Project
Injection molding provides the lowest piece prices available. A high
quality injection mold is essential to a project's successful completion.
Unsurprisingly, mold building costs are the largest single expenditure of
most project budgets.
We rely
on the design and engineering talents of our mold-making partners,
BMJ Mold and Engineering, to
create top quality molds for our customers.
Injection molding offers the lowest piece prices available, but
tooling (mold making) prices are generally the highest. That is why we rely
on the design and engineering talents of our mold-making partners,
BMJ Mold and Engineering,
to create top quality molds for our customers.
BMJ has been producing high-quality molds
for four decades. Their reputation is built on a long history of on-time
delivery and quick turnaround time for mold build. For more information, see the BMJ webpage:
