Roll Forming Machine is a processing machine that passes rolled steel or other long strips of metal through a series of Hardened Steel Rollers, which are controlled using a pre-set PLC code, to achieve a specific processing operation on the sheet metal at each station to produce a specific metal part. It is characterised by high progress, high speed, low scrap and one-off forming. It is therefore a very economical way of processing and is often used for the processing of large quantities of parts.Read more -
A roll forming machine is a type of machine used to produce all kinds of metal sheets used in roofing houses or walls for large and small projects or factories, with many beautiful designs and durable profiles.Read more -
The main difference is that while rolling forces the metal to flow into a different shape, sheet metal forming works by causing deformation in the material overall, with minimal effect on the grain structure or the thickness of the material.Read more -
Tooling costs in manufacturing are already a sore spot for many purchasers, but some think roll form tooling is cost-prohibitive altogether. The up-front price tag tends to blind them to literal down-the-line savings. That’s right -- if your project fits, a roll form manufacturer can actually optimize your spending and get your parts out the door sooner and for less money per part.Read more -
IPlastic Injection Molding Machines Types and Benefitsnjection and extrusion molding are two popular plastic molding methods in the industrial and manufacturing sector that are used to make products with varying shapes and sizes. Depending on the product and the customer, both processes have their individual strengths. Midstate Mold & Engineering is strictly a plastic injection molding manufacturing company, but it is always helpful to our customers to know the difference between each process.Read more -
How do you determine what type of plastics manufacturer you should work with to design your custom plastic part? Forming plastic parts for industrial, commercial or medical uses requires different processes depending on the shape required and application of the product. Here’s the difference between plastic extrusion and injection molding.Read more -
The main difference between injection molding and extrusion molding is that injection molding is highly restrictive molding by injection mold, and extrusion is semi-restrictive molding by extrusion die.Read more -
Blow moulding is a manufacturing process used for the production of plastic bottles, containers, and custom shapes. At Central Machinery and Plastic Products, we use extrusion blow moulding (EBM). EBM bottles are easily identifiable by their pinch line across the base of the bottle. This line is created as the mould cavity closes on the parison and the tail is trimmed off.Read more -
Extrusion moulding is used to form plastic or metal materials into a pre-defined shape. During the process, the material is melted and pushed through an extrusion moulding machine, forming a long, tube-like shape or rod. This is cooled and cut to the required length. Often, extrusion moulding plastic products created in this way are used for wiring or insulating applications.The products’ cross-sections show uniformity throughout the length of the tubing, which is highly prized for numerous projects. Extrude plastics can also be formed into other tubular products, such as drinking straws. The plastic can also be shaped into thin sheeting or films by being flattened out by a set of cooling rolls.Read more -
At an initial glance, extrusion and injection molding may appear to be very similar manufacturing processes. Both processes send molten material through machines to mass-produce low-cost parts of the desired shape. Both are a continuous production processes that amortizes costs as one orders higher quantities of parts. But, as we will see, these similarities quickly disappear when examining the differences between extrusion and injection molding.Read more -
