Vertical Liquid Silicone Pump Feeder

The process of liquid silicone molding involves several key steps:

1. Preparation: The liquid silicone material is prepared by mixing the base silicone compound with a catalyst to initiate the curing process. This mixture is then loaded into the machine's barrel.

2. Mold preparation: The mold is prepared by cleaning and applying a release agent to ensure easy removal of the finished silicone product. The mold is then mounted onto the liquid silicone molding machine.

3. Injection: The liquid silicone material is injected into the mold cavity using a specialized injection system. The machine's injection unit includes a screw or plunger mechanism that pushes the liquid silicone material into the mold at a controlled rate.

4. Curing: Once the mold is filled with the liquid silicone, the silicone product is cured or vulcanized. This process involves subjecting the mold to heat to accelerate the curing reaction. The temperature and time required for curing depend on the specific silicone material and desired properties of the final product.

5. Cooling and release: After the silicone product has been cured, it is cooled down to a suitable temperature for removal. The mold is then opened, and the finished silicone product is released from the mold.

Liquid silicone molding machines offer precise control over the injection process, ensuring the production of high-quality silicone products with consistent dimensions and properties. These machines are widely used in various industries such as medical, automotive, electronics, and consumer goods, where silicone materials are valued for their flexibility, durability, and heat resistance.
