Injection moulding A screw (extruder) (1) presses the plastic (granulate) (2) through a small injection opening (nozzle) (3) into the mold (4 & 6). Here is a cavity (5). The now molten plastic flows through the injection opening and fills the cavities of the tool. Then it is cooled with water. As a result, the material solidifies and takes the shape of the tool cavities (5). The tool is opened after the material has cooled sufficiently by moving the top part (6) horizontally. Subsequently, the product is pressed out of the opened tool (4) by ejectors (pins). Due to gravity, the product falls out of the mold into a collection container, or for products that must not be damaged, a robot takes them out of the mold. After it is closed again, the next production run can be started BRC IOP Issue 4 Re-certified BRC ! 1-liter cup Latest news Verbeeck Plastics NV has been re-certified "BRC/IOP issue… 11 Dec 2014
