Injection Molding is one of the cornerstones of Boyd’s plastic and silicone manufacturing capabilities. Injecting molten plastic or silicone into custom molds offers versatile design options and creates durable parts for harsh conditions. Boyd’s production facilities include several state-of-the-art injection molding machines of various sizes and capabilities, with machine tonnage ranging from 40 to 600 tons.Get more news about Silicone Injection Tooling,you can vist our website!
From concept generation through production, Boyd’s team of dedicated experts can help guide you through the manufacturing process to create high-quality components. Under one roof, we can combine our complementary capabilities like spray painting and laser etching or value-added possibilities such as membrane switches and displays to build complete user interfaces.
Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) can be processed in a liquid injection molding (LIM) process. The liquid raw material is mixed from two separate components in a ratio of 1:1 and injected via a cold-runner-system into a hot mold. Curing takes place within seconds, offering the advantage of fast cycling and production of large quantities.
Due to the flexibility in design and tooling, LSR injection molding is ideal for producing complex geometries and can consolidate various functional features into a single part. It also offers significant advantages in terms of product reliability and total cost of ownership.
Perfect flash-free molding is essential in some of the parts produced in Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) such as nipple protectors produced for nursing mothers.
The nipple protector is produced in a cleanroom to prevent its high gloss finish from being blemished by airborne particles. The part cannot be manually handled, as the slightest fingerprint would spoil its crystal-clear finish. Therefore, the nipple protector is removed robotically from the tool and placed on a belt feeder that takes the product through post-cure and straight into the box in which it is shipped.
Timing between the process steps is perfectly aligned to have a continuous process flow. The part must be flashless, as any flash at the nipple shield hole would prevent effective milk delivery from a nursing mother.
