Detailed Project Report on food containers by injection moulding

FOOD CONTAINERS BY INJECTION MOULDING
[CODE NO. 3150]  


Plastic containers are necessary to the packaging needs of many sectors. Food and beverage packaging makes efficient use of sorts of plastic containers, such as plastic containers for water and plastic jars for use as deli containers.

Plastic container companies have many techniques at their discretion. The most popular of the techniques are extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, stretch blow molding, injection molding and co-extrusion. Each has its strengths. And knowing these can help when you are buying plastic container distributor. To select the right company.

Injection blow molding is completed in three stages. First, melted plastic is injected into a shape to produce a parison. Compressed-air then blows through a key pin to increase the form. Eventually, the container is transferred to a third stop for ejection.

Injection molding is used to produce wide mouth containers such as tubs, plastic containers and vials. Content is inserted in to a cavity where pressure causes the resin to comply with the mold.

Thin wall injection molding is a specialized form of conventional injection molding that focuses on mass-producing plastic parts that are thin and light so that material cost savings can be made and cycle times can be as short as possible. Shorter cycle times means higher productivity and lower costs per part.

The definition of thin wall is really about the size of the part compared to its wall thickness. For any particular plastic part, as the wall thickness reduces the harder it is to manufacture using the injection molding process. The size of a part puts a limit on how thin the wall thickness can be. For packaging containers thin wall means wall thicknesses that are less than 0.025 inch (0.62mm) with a flow length to wall thickness greater than 200.
