For decades, many hundreds of thousands of companies rely on manufacturing technology to help them produce, en masse, all the pieces and parts that go in to the manufacture of their product. Many millions of these parts are created through a process known as plastic injection molding.
Companies have adopted this technology because of the cost benefit it provides them during the production process. Not only can they save an incredible amount of labor in the production of their products, but by ensuring uniformity throughout their product, they can avoid the mistakes of manufacturing that lead to whole batches of product needing to be remade, thus saving an enormous amount of money, too.
Primarily, do you mass produce an object that is initially separate from your product, but that your product absolutely must have in order to function properly? An example of this would be vinyl o-rings and washers or suction cups, to name just a very, very few. If the answer to this question is a resounding "yes" and you do not have plastic injection molding capability, then you are wasting money every day your operation is in production.
Quite simply, by incorporating plastic injection molding manufacturing, you will be reducing the time spent making the products you are already making. Not to mention the money you will be saving because now all your products will be uniform in size, shape and appearance so you will no longer have to send any materials to the scrap bin.
Also, by automating the production process, you will be saving considerable amounts of money on your company's overall labor costs by reducing the amount of personnel needed to manufacture a particular product.
After the initial injection, there is a period of time to allow the plastic to fill all crevices of any given mold so as to ensure the product is made properly, once this time period has passed, additional plastic is injected in to the mold if necessary to complete the molding process. Then the mold is cooled, opened and the product is ejected, ready for use. This type of mass production can ultimately add more money back to the bottom line, that every production manager or company owner should take the time to understand if plastic injection molding is right for them
