Liquid Silicone Rubber Injection Molding Machine is an advanced equipment for the production of liquid silicone (LSR) products. As a high-performance elastic material, liquid silicone is widely used in medical, automotive, consumer electronics and other fields due to its excellent high temperature resistance, chemical resistance, excellent biocompatibility and other characteristics. The LSR injection molding machine is the key equipment to efficiently and accurately transform this liquid silicone into parts with various complex shapes and functions.
The core parts of the LSR injection molding machine include the liquid silicone delivery system, heating system, injection system, temperature control system, etc. The design and operation requirements of the machine are very precise to ensure the uniformity and stability of the liquid silicone during the injection molding process and avoid bubbles or other defects.
The working principle of the LSR injection molding machine is similar to that of a traditional injection molding machine, but due to the special properties of liquid silicone, the injection molding process has its own unique features. Liquid silicone is a material composed of two components (component A and component B), which needs to be mixed in a certain proportion before use to convert it into an injectable state.
The LSR injection molding machine needs to mix component A and component B in a certain proportion and deliver the mixed liquid silicone to the injection system through a conveying system. In order to ensure the uniformity and fluidity of the raw materials, the mixing process usually requires precise temperature control and flow control.
The liquid silicone is injected into the mold at high pressure through the injection system. Because the liquid silicone has good fluidity, it can quickly fill every small part of the mold to ensure that the product shape is accurate and the details are clear.
The liquid silicone will go through a certain period of heating and curing process in the injection mold, usually through the temperature control system in the mold to provide uniform heat. The cured silicone product will cool quickly to maintain its final shape and structure.
When the liquid silicone is completely cured, the molded silicone parts can be removed from the mold for subsequent inspection, cleaning and packaging.
The biocompatibility and high temperature resistance of LSR make it widely used in the medical industry. LSR injection molding machines can manufacture various medical devices, such as infusion tube connectors, needle seals, medical valves, respirator masks, etc. Since LSR materials are non-toxic, odorless, and can withstand high-temperature sterilization, they are widely used in medical products.
In the automotive industry, LSR injection molding machines are mainly used to manufacture seals, gaskets, vibration isolation pads, etc. Liquid silicone has excellent high temperature resistance, UV resistance, and oil resistance, and can cope with the stringent requirements of automobiles in high temperature and high pressure environments.
In the field of consumer electronics, LSR is used to produce various seals, such as seals for mobile phone screens, earphone earplugs, keyboard buttons, etc. The high elasticity and good sealing performance of LSR make it an indispensable part of electronic products.
LSR is also widely used in the food industry, especially in food contact materials. Due to the non-toxicity and low bacterial growth characteristics of liquid silicone, it is used to manufacture parts for kitchen utensils and food processing equipment, such as seals, rubber pads, etc.
The safety and comfort of LSR make it an ideal material for manufacturing baby products. For example, baby pacifiers, toys, and other daily necessities can be precisely produced by LSR injection molding machines.
LSR injection molding machines can manufacture liquid silicone products with high precision and high complexity. Due to the good fluidity of liquid silicone, it can fully fill the mold details, making the products produced more precise.
LSR injection molding machine can complete multiple processes such as injection, curing, and cooling of liquid silicone in a short time, with high production efficiency. Compared with traditional silicone processing methods, LSR injection molding machine can produce more precise products faster.
LSR injection molding machine can accurately control the injection volume of liquid silicone, reduce waste, and can produce multiple parts in the same mold, thereby reducing production costs.
Liquid silicone is non-toxic, odorless, and meets environmental protection standards. It is suitable for strict industries such as medical and food. The design of LSR injection molding machine also takes into account energy saving and waste reduction, which meets the sustainable development needs of modern industry.
