Design and Analysis of Shutter in Injection Molding Machine

Abstract

Injection molding machines uses the process, in which hot molten plastic is injected under high pressure into a thin cold mould. There are many types of injection molding machines available in plastic processing industries according to its clamping unit. In hydraulic ram type clamping machine a component called shutter often get breakdown due to high compression force generated on it. So design and analysis of Shutter in ram type injection molding machines is used to increase the strength of shutter so it helps to reduce the failure of shutter. The aim of research is to reduce the breakdown of shutter in hydraulic ram type clamping injection molding machine.
