A Spray Pump Injection Mould (SPIM) is a type of plastic injection moulding tool that is used to produce plastic parts with a spray pump mechanism. It is a specialized tool that is used in the manufacturing of a variety of consumer and industrial products such as cosmetic packaging, personal care products, and cleaning supplies.
The SPIM process begins with the injection of molten plastic into a mould that has been specifically designed for the part being produced. The plastic is then allowed to cool and solidify in the mould, taking on the shape of the mould's interior.
Once the plastic has solidified, the mould is opened and the part is ejected. The spray pump mechanism is then assembled on to the part. The spray pump is a device that is used to dispense liquid products by means of a pressurized spray. It is typically activated by depressing a button or trigger located on the top of the pump.
The use of the SPIM process allows for the production of parts with a high degree of precision and accuracy, as well as a consistent finish. It also enables the incorporation of the spray pump mechanism into the design of the part, eliminating the need for additional assembly steps and reducing production costs.
It is important to note that the SPIM process requires specialized knowledge and expertise in mould design and plastic injection moulding in order to produce high-quality parts. It also requires the use of high-precision machinery and equipment, and the use of high-quality mould steel to produce a durable mould.
