Regarding injection molding, you may consider using a vertical injection molding machine or a horizontal injection molding machine. If you are not clear about the difference between the two, I hope the following content can help you make the right choice.

Overview DENICE injection molding machine

What vertical AC/DC injection molding machine?

This model is mainly used for the injection molding of connecting cables, various electronic, computer data cables and power plug cables. The precision standard of injection products is not high. Generally, the injection molding of plastic materials such as PVC and PE is the leading factor, which is suitable for the injection molding of this product. The specific applicable model specifications generally range from 15T to 35T clamping force. Due to the specific capacity, modulus and configuration of each manufacturer's model, the manufacturer must be asked to confirm the specific parameters and specifications of the model before purchasing.

What is a horizontal injection molding machine?

The clamping part and the injection part of the horizontal injection molding machine are on the same horizontal centerline, and the mold is opened in the horizontal direction.

Advantages and disadvantages

Horizontal Molding Machine

The characteristics of the horizontal molding machine are: the body is short, easy to operate and maintain; the center of gravity of the machine is low, and the installation is relatively stable; after the product is ejected, it can be automatically dropped by gravity, which is easy to achieve fully automatic operation. Horizontal molds generally have more cavities than vertical molds, so more parts can be produced per cycle. The disadvantages are: the installation of the mold is more troublesome, the inserts may tilt or fall if the mold has been published, and the machine tool occupies a large area.

Vertical Molding Machine

The vertical molding machine is characterized in that the axes of the clamping device and the injection device are arranged in a line and are perpendicular to the ground. It has the advantages of small footprint, convenient mold assembly and disassembly, easy installation of inserts, more uniform plasticization of materials falling into the hopper, easy automation and automatic line management of multiple machines. Vertical injection molding equipment uses an open clamp and turntable design. This allows the use of multiple molds and simultaneous operations - pre-molding, injection molding and post-molding. As a result, there is less need for manual operations and interventions, greater efficiency, higher productivity and lower costs. The disadvantage is that the ejected product is not easy to fall off automatically, and it often needs to be removed manually or by other methods, and it is not easy to achieve fully automatic operation and injection of large products; the body is high, and it is inconvenient to feed and maintain.

The difference between the vertical injection molding machine and the horizontal injection molding machine is that their clamping methods are different. The vertical injection molding machine injects from top to bottom, and its center of gravity is down, while the horizontal injection molding machine injects horizontally or horizontally. Thus forming a large area. This is the difference between a vertical injection molding machine and a horizontal injection molding machine.

It can be seen that the injection molding process applicable to different processes and scenarios is different. Generally speaking, for insert molding, vertical injection molding is a more correct choice. To find out what size and type of injection molding machine your project requires, please contact us.
