Injection molding machine (referred to as injection machine or injection molding machine) is the use of plastic molding mold thermoplastic or thermosetting material into various shapes of plastic products of the main molding equipment. The working principle of injection molding machine is similar to the syringe used for injection. It is with the help of the screw (or plunger) of the thrust, the plastic has been plasticized good melting state (i.e. viscous flow state) injected into the closed cavity of the mold, and the process of the product is obtained after solidification.
Injection molding is a cyclic process, each cycle mainly includes: quantitative feeding -- melt plasticizing -- pressure injection -- mold filling and cooling -- mold opening and taking parts. After removing the plastic parts, the mold is closed again and the next cycle is carried out. Injection molding is a cyclic process, each cycle mainly includes: quantitative feeding - melt plasticizing - pressure injection - mold cooling - open mold to take parts, take out plastic parts and then close the mold, the next cycle.
Injection molding machine is usually composed of injection system, mold closing system, power system, electrical control system, lubrication system, heating and cooling system, safety monitoring system and so on.
Major local manufacturers of injection molding machines include Haitian International, Zhensheng Group, Tairi Machinery, Datong Machinery, Ligen and Izumi, while foreign manufacturers include Arburg GmbH, Engel Holding GmbH, Husky, Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Kraussmaffei, Nissei Plastic, UBE Machinery, Toyo, Milacron, JSW Plastics Machinery, Fanuc, Shibaura Machine, Wittmann Battenfeld, Windsor, etc. Haitian International is the world's largest manufacturer of injection molding machines, with sales of more than 32,000 units in 2019, accounting for 22% of the global market. High-end products are mainly from Japan and Europe.
Asia Pacific is the largest consumption place, with a consumption market share nearly 55% in 2019. Following Asia Pacific, Europe is the second largest consumption place with the consumption market share of 25%.
Injection molding machine according to the drive system is divided into hydraulic, electric and electro - hydraulic mixed three. Electric injection molding machine is the most advanced, energy saving and environmental protection, and high precision, but the price is higher than the hydraulic injection molding machine. Hydraulic injection molding machines are noisier, use more energy and emit more pollutants. Electro-hydraulic composite injection molding machines achieve a better balance in terms of price and energy efficiency. Large injection moulding machines are hydraulic driven, medium and small injection moulding machines are electric driven. The development of hydraulic injection molding machine has accumulated many years of experience, can carry out high-speed filling, electric injection molding machine has the advantages of low energy consumption, excellent control, stability and environmental protection. At present, the market is still dominated by hydraulic injection molding machine, accounting for about 70% of the market, but the all-electric injection molding machine is becoming more and more popular.
From the analysis of product specifications, small and medium-sized models (clamping force ≤650 tons) occupy more than 90% of the market; From the analysis of the application of products, the general plastics, automobile industry and household appliances industry occupy a large market share respectively. However, affected by the US tariff policy starting from July 2018, the downstream industries of injection molding machines, such as household appliances, 3C and other industries, are under great downward pressure, leading to extremely fierce competition among injection molding machine enterprises.
