Transfer molding

Transfer molding is a technique used in the processing of plastics and rubber to manufacture complex parts with precise dimensions. It is ideal for processing materials that are highly viscous or sensitive.

Transfer molding involves several steps. Initially, the material, typically in the form of granules, is loaded into a heated pot and warmed. The pot is then transferred into the main mold, allowing the molten material to enter the cavities of the mold.

The material is compressed during the pressing process to shape it into the desired form. To cure the material, the mold is cooled and then opened to extract the finished part.

There are numerous advantages to using transfer molding. It enables the production of components with complex geometries and precise details. The process allows for the simultaneous processing of multiple materials and ensures even distribution of the materials. Additionally, it facilitates the processing of specialized materials with high viscosity or reactivity and provides good control over process parameters.
