Abstract: The efficiency of the ‘Injection molding Machine’ lies in the proper designing of screw feeder mechanism. The screw feeding mechanism needs to be setup differently for different materials, molds etc. The proper design includes the work from selecting the appropriate materials, designing for the optimum design, analysis of the designed parts at different flow rates, speed and temperatures. There are various parameters that govern the efficiency of the ’Injection molding Machine’. These parameters include ‘Filling Pressure’, ‘Mold Surface Temperature’, ‘Raw Material Melting Temperature’, ‘Filling Time’ etc.
Keywords: Injection Mounding Machine, Screw Feeder Optimization, Materials Selection, Filling time
