Compression Molding

Enhance with Compression Molding

Compression molding is a versatile technique where material is shaped using heat and pressure in a heated metal mold. It’s applied in various industries for automotive parts, electrical insulators, cookware handles, gaskets, and custom rubber/plastic parts, with machines featuring vertical axis opening.

Its adaptability spans many product applications, from intricate automotive components to robust electrical insulators. These applications benefit from the process’s consistency and high-quality results, thanks to its seamless adaptation to mold contours.

Compression Molding Process

Material Preparation
Carefully prepare the molding material, typically using pellets, powders, or sheets, to ensure it’s well-suited for the molding process.

Mold Heating
Properly heat the mold to the precise temperature required for the chosen material.

Material Loading
Place the chosen material into one half of the warmed mold, ensuring even distribution.

Mold Closure
Close the mold securely, bringing both halves together to effectively shape the material.

Pressure Application
Apply controlled pressure systematically to ensure precise material shaping.

Curing or Cooling
Maintain the required pressure and temperature consistently throughout the necessary time.

Mold Opening
Open the mold carefully to reveal the accurately molded product.

Ejection
If necessary, employ efficient mechanisms to smoothly remove the product from the mold cavity, demonstrating our commitment to precision and efficiency.
