Precise plastic parts for your project

What is plastic injection molding?

Discover the efficient path to precise and complex designed plastic products through plastic injection molding.

In the first step, the plastic granulate will be filled into a funnel. The screw pulls the granulate out of the hopper and melts it. The material plasticises due to the heated screw barrels. The material then moves through the screw into the front part of the cylinder, where it subsequently collects behind the nozzle.

As soon as the mold is closed, the tip of the screw moves in front of the mold nozzle. The compound is then injected into the mold under pressure.

Due to cooling, the mass in the mold shrinks. In order to compensate for the shrinkage of the material, a pressure is maintained. The cushion of material remaining in front of the screw tip can thus flow into the mold. This process can avoid defects such as sink marks and blowholes.The molding compound is then cooled (thermoplastics) or heated (thermosets) in the mold.

At the end of the selected cooling or heating time, the mold is opened and the molded part is removed or ejected. At the same time, the melt for the next cycle is already being generated in the metering unit.

Automated injection molding at B&S

How does injection molding work?

The plastic injection molding process begins with the melting of the plastic into a liquid mold. This is done at Bernhardt & Schulte with a large cylinder and a screw system.

Once the plastic has melted, it is injected at high pressure into the desired mold. After the mold is cooled down, the plastic solidifies into the desired shape. The finished molded part is then ejected.

Combination of thermosets and thermoplastics

We have developed a more advanced process in which thermoset components can be overmolded with thermoplastic. This produces extremely robust and dimensionally stable components with a temperature-resistant shell.

The production line we co-developed consists of an 8-cavity mold, an 8-cavity hot runner manifold and a fully automatic assembly line. On it, we manufacture switch covers for starter relays, among other things. These are used in start-stop starters in passenger cars and reduce CO2 emissions.
