PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
As the traditional metal parts are now being produced from polymers, hydraulic compression moulding has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in hydraulic systems. In the Hydraulic Compression Moulding process, the moulding material in granular or powder form is mostly preheated and is compressed under pressure, using two moulds. The heat and pressure are maintained throughout the process, until the material has cured, aiding the production of the desired shapes. This method is followed for making products by using PTFE, filled PTFE compounds and PEEK. This moulding process is a great option for comparatively simple designs, including large basic shapes which are not possible to produce by using the extrusion process.
APPLICATIONS
Automobile parts:
Various plastic parts that are used in engine components such as valve seats and valve plugs, bearings, piston rings and seals
Electrical components:
Electrical wall receptacles, sockets, meter cases, switches, faceplates, and circuit breakers.
Valve Industries:
Valve seats, spherical balls, V-rings.
ADVANTAGES
Cost-Efficient:
The Hydraulic Compression moulding is often the most economical manufacturing method, with lower tooling cost.
Good for large parts production:
This form of moulding process is suitable for manufacturing large parts that are mostly flat, simple, and thick, that involves the use of significant bulk of material to produce.
High durability:
With this moulding process the parts that are manufactured are free of flow marks and knit lines. Due to high structural stability of compression moulded parts, the parts can be produced with high durability.
Design Flexibility:
The Hydraulic compression moulding does not require to account for the tooling features such as gates, sprues or runners, which are used in other production methods. This aids the engineers to design the products with greater flexibility.
