There are many types of injection molding machines that can be used with lotion pump injection molds. The specific choice depends on factors including preferred production quantities, complexity of lotion pump design, and materials used. The following are several commonly used injection molding machines:
Hydraulic Injection Molding Machine: These machines use hydraulic power to drive the injection unit. They are suitable for a variety of applications, including lotion pump injection molding.
Electric injection molding machines: These machines use electric motors and servo motors to pressurize the injection unit, allowing for better accuracy and energy performance compared to hydraulic machines.
Hybrid Injection Molding Machines: These machines combine the advantages of hydraulic presses and electric motors. They are typically used when high accuracy, efficacy and cost-effectiveness are required.
Two-Plate Injection Molding Machines: These machines feature a unique two-plate layout that extends the start-up and final power of the mold, making it suitable for larger emulsion pump molds.
Multi-component injection molding machines: If the emulsion pump requires the molding of multiple additives simultaneously, a multi-faceted system can be used. These machines have more than one injection unit that injects specific substances or pigments into the mold.
It is important to note that choosing the right injection molding machine also depends on other factors such as clamping force, injection volume, and the specific requirements of the emulsion pump design. Manufacturers and injection molding experts can provide guidance on selecting the best machine for your lotion pump injection mold.
