Today I will give you a brief introduction: What are the characteristics of plastic injection molding of household electrical parts?

Advantages of injection molding for household appliances

Why have so many appliance makers turned to an injection molding company to play a role in supplying plastic parts? For more than half a century, injection molding, a process that uses molten plastic to be pressed under pressure into highly precise molds and cooled, has been one of the main means of producing plastic parts. Household appliances are versatile and can offer many advantages over other manufacturing processes, and injection molded parts are used for a number of reasons:

High pressure injection allows the plastic to enter the deepest part of the mold to achieve complex shapes and designs, thus minimizing the need for additional processing after molding.

Molding produces a high volume of parts at a very fast rate. Although it may take some time for each mold to be designed and shaped, the manufacturing process thereafter progresses very quickly. Once you have the mold designs on hand, you can use them indefinitely.

Injection molding makes it easy to add filler to alter the plastic property. Inserts and other parts within the mold allow for more complex processes, such as secondary forming.

Which appliances use injection molding?

It's easy to see why appliance manufacturers would prefer a high-volume, highly replicable process to make their plastic parts, but what are those parts? Let's look at some of the most common examples you might find:

Refrigerator parts. In-door shelving units and sliding drawer frames for condiments and jars may use injection molding. Refrigerators and freezer doorknobs also come from molds, as do many of the parts used in ice makers, such as the plastic spiral conveyors that dispense ice on demand.

Dishwasher parts. Much of the interior of modern dishwashers comes from injection moulds, including the silverware case, the dishwasher rack itself, the spray cleaning arm, and even the door or hatch of the detergent dispenser.

Kitchen gadgets. Toaster casings may come entirely from plastic molds, as do blender casings and blender containers themselves. Plastic food storage containers are also used in molding.

Improved durability:

Injection molding revolutionized the appliance industry by enabling manufacturers to order custom parts based on the unique needs of a project. For example, some appliances may benefit from specific resistance, whether to heat, chemicals, corrosion, rust or more. The more durable the product, the longer it will last and the more valuable it will be to the consumer. Injection Molding provides manufacturers with the ability to specify their own requirements, and Feihong Plastics provides this ability.
