Working principle of gas-assisted injection mold

Gas-assisted injection molds are formed by high-pressure gas-assisted molding, which can significantly improve product accuracy and production efficiency. The core principle is: first inject part of the molten plastic (70%-95%), then inject high-pressure nitrogen to push the plastic to fill the cavity, and finally the gas pressure compensation shrinkage, forming a hollow structure.


Melt Injection

  • the

    Key Process

      : A short shot of plastic is injected into the mold cavity, leaving a gas channel.

    1. gas filling: high-pressure nitrogen (5-32MPa) penetrates the melt to form a hollow.

    2. pressure holding cooling: gas to maintain pressure, reduce deformation.

    3. Exhaust Demoulding: After cooling, the gas is discharged and the product is taken out.

      The

      core advantage

      of
    • saves raw materials: 10%-30%.

    • shorten the cycle: 30%-50%.

    • eliminate shrink marks: gas pressure holding instead of plastic pressure holding.

    • reduce stress: hollow structure reduces warpage.

      Typical applications

      of
    • cars: bumpers, dashboards.

    • appliances: shell, handle.

    • electronics: phone case, CD tray.
