Effect of number of injection locations in Plastic injection molding. A VOF simulation

Manufacturing Engineerign

The present study focuses on the effect of the number of the injection locations in the plastic injection molding. With the agile of the product demand in the consumer market, product-manufacturing industries are opting the plastic and metal injection molding machines, as they are suitable for the batch and mass production systems. The Computational fluid dynamic analysis which is based on VOF model is made By changing the number of the injection locations of the die, the process parameters are studied while the keeping the quality of the product by studying the Air pockets and the cooling quality as the main objective, based on the confidence levels. Two industrial quality PVC materials are tested and it is found that the as the number of injection locations goon increasing within 5 the process and quality of the product that is to be fabricated is also increased.
