Injection Molding
• Understanding the Process and Benefits
What is Stack Molding?
• Stack molding is an advanced injection molding technique.
• Multiple mold faces (layers) stacked horizontally or vertically.
• Doubles or triples production without increasing machine tonnage.
• Ideal for high-volume, complex part production.
Structure and Key Components
• Multiple cavities on different faces or levels.
• Key Components:
⚬ Mold Cavities (on different levels/faces)
⚬ Central Injection Point (distributes molten material to each face)
⚬ Ejector System (removes solidified parts)
How Stack Molding Works
1.Material Injection – Molten plastic is injected into all cavities simultaneously.
2.Cooling Phase – Integrated cooling ensures proper solidification.
3.Ejection – The ejector system removes parts after cooling, starting the next cycle.
• Increased Productivity: Doubles/triples output per cycle.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduces production costs per part.
• Efficient Use of Floor Space: No need for additional machines.
• Lower Tonnage Requirements: High output with smaller machines.
• Reduced Cycle Time: Shortens overall production time.
