- BarrelMachinery
Essential component of the injection unit. Its main function is to contain, melt, and homogenize the material, as well as dose the amount of plastic to be injected into the mold.
- Barrel Heat BandsMachinery
Devices used to heat the injection barrel. They are placed around the barrel to provide uniform and controlled heat, also functioning as thermal insulation.
- Input ParametersProcess
All values assigned for the development of the molding process, such as temperatures, pressures, speed, and times for each phase.
- MeltMaterial
Considered the actual processing temperature, the final result between frictional heating and the heat bands of the injection unit.
- Nozzle TemperatureProcess
Temperature measured and controlled at the nozzle of the injection unit, just before the molten material enters the sprue.
