FAQs of Compression Molding
What are the factores affecting compression molding?
Important factors to be considered before the compression molding process are the following:
- Amount of plastic material
- Heating time
- Melting temperature of plastic material
- The pressure required to squeeze the material into the mold cavity
- Cooling time
Is compression molding good for environment?
Compression moulding can help reduce the environmental impact of plastic production and disposal by minimizing waste and energy consumption and using recycle materials.
What is the cycle time of compression molding?
Compression molding require slower cycle time than injection molding, the time needed to start and repeat the sequence of operations is between 1-6 mins for compression molding.
Is compression molding cheaper than injection molding?
Injection molding is better suited to high-volume production, whereas compression molding is better suited to pliable and flexible materials. Generally, the upfront costs for compression molding are cheaper.
