Plastic moulders are tool and dye machines used by plastic manufacturers in the injection molding process. These machines are used for mass producing plastic parts and products because of their efficiency and high rate of production. Injection molding machines are made up of two main parts – the injection component and the mold clamping section.

Injection Moulders
Injection molded plastic is used in a wide variety of industries, including automotive, electrical, health care, construction, packaging and consumer goods, and injection moulders are used to make many different products - from computer casings to toothbrushes and patio furniture. The final product is based on the shape of the plastic injection mould and so machine size is not necessarily a factor in the manufacturing cycle. Injection molders can produce objects as big as a vehicle bumper or as intricate as a medical instrument. The different types of injection moulders are usually classified by the type of machinery used to drive the machine. This can be mechanical, which is the oldest form, hydraulic, which uses the help of air pressure, or electric, which is typically more costly but can have quicker run cycles. There is little waste produced by plastic molders because all the material used is injected into the mold cavity, and the small amounts of waste that result from this are removed during the finishing process and can easily be recycled.
The process of using injection molders is straightforward: a mold is pre-made in two halves which are then clamped tightly together. The plastic, usually in pellet form, is then loaded through a hopper, heated to molten form and injected into the mold, which is an inverse of the desired shape of the part being made. This is done by a screw injector or a ram injector. The plastic is then left for a short time to cool and ejected out of the machine with force using ejector rods. Regular service maintenance is also required to ensure the moulders are running at optimum output. Plastic molders require minimal amounts of manual labor, keeping costs low. However, a maintenance operator may need to manually feed the plastic materials into the mold or remove the plastic part from the mold after it has cooled. However, despite the apparent simplicity of injection moulders, the process of injection molding is a scientific process, and the outcome of the final product is still dependent on the composition of the starting materials.
