The Science Behind Plastic Caps: How They Were Made And Protect the Content?
From the manufacturing process to the application fields, this article delves into the science behind plastic caps and how they ensure the safety and freshness of bottled products.
The Importance of Plastic Caps for Packaging
Plastic caps are commonly used as container seals in daily life. They can be used for bottles, buckets, cans, etc. They are made of various plastics, including polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene, and are manufactured by injection molding. Whether it is to store or keep food fresh at home or to protect the product quality and prevent leakage in industrial production, plastic caps play a vital role.
Take bottle caps as an example. Bottle caps can effectively protect the contents from external contamination and prevent leakage. The key is that there is a "Liner" implanted inside the cap. The liner is mainly used to enhance the sealing performance of the cap. In some products with high sealing requirements, to ensure the quality and safety of the products, both caps and liners are used to ensure the sealing and freshness of the products.
Bottle Cap Manufacturing and Liner Implantation, Achieved by Injection Molding and Automation
Bottle Cap Production Equipment, Meeting Your Injection Molding Needs
Injection molding machine is common production equipment for manufacturing bottle caps. First, the plastic is heated to a molten state, and injected into the mold through the barrel of the injection unit for pressure holding, cooling, and then molding. After molding, the mold is opened, and the product is automatically dropped out or taken out by automation equipment such as a robot arm. The whole process is efficient and fast. The injection molding machine can produce a large number of bottle caps in a short time. Especially a stable injection molding machine can ensure the high quality of the bottle caps.
The inside of the bottle cap often has a reverse hook design for internal threads. Because this part is easy to get stuck in the mold and cannot be demolded, the injection molding machine can be equipped with a core-pull device. The core-pull device can help pull up the reverse hook before opening the mold to facilitate demolding.
Huarong is a good industrial alliance partner that can provide customers with stable and durable injection molding machines. We have a professional R&D team that can provide you with the most satisfactory specifications and machines according to your product needs. For example, for producing bottle caps, we recommend using the General injection molding machine - HRN series. The inward toggle clamping design can quickly open and close the mold, shorten the cycle time. The structure is also dynamic computation with computer professionally, ensuring durability.
