Injection Molded Foam Equipment in Use

This process uses a multi-station, multi-mold machine with an injector on a horizontal hydraulic rod. The injector moves from station to station injecting separate molds, sometimes making entirely different parts. Find out more at www.mdiproducts.com

Daher Foam Products Manufacturing Process Step 2: De-molding & Cleaning

This video contains a brief overview of the Daher Manufacturing Inc. de-molding and cleaning process. Once the injected foam has cured, the mold is pried open and pressured air is used to remove the foam product. Each mold is carefully coated prior to injection, ensuring a flawless finish. Some of the product’s excess material is removed before it is passed to the trimming department. The mold is thoroughly cleaned in preparation for future use.

Pelican Case: Structural Foam Walls

www.pelican.com These Pelican equipment cases are made with a unique structural cell molding process. Foam agents are mixed in with the polymer pellets to expand inside the mold in our protective cases. The result of the foam agents in our protective equipment cases is they are lighter and more rigid than a solid-core wall. Interested in Pelican cases, head over to our case product website to see the different options available www.pelican.com

Daher Foam Products Manufacturing Process Step 1: Foam Injection.m4v

This video contains a brief overview of the Daher Manufacturing Inc. foam injection process. The mold consists of two separate pieces which are tightly secured together. Using the Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) process, the foam is forced into the mold where it expands and conforms to the shape of the mold. The RIM process allows a variety of materials to produce an almost infinite possibility of shapes and densities designed to meet our customer’s specific needs.

Injection Molded Foam Mold Opening

Unlike plastic injection, the mold cavities for injection molded foam are designed smaller than the final part size. The parts expand rather than shrink. The amount of expansion is dependant on the material softness you require. The material remains in the heated mold during the cross-linking or cooking process. The cooking time is dependant on the thickness of the part. The mold opens very quickly when the cooking is complete. The part expands and explosively self ejects from the mold cavity. The part is removed from the mold station and set to cool. Find out more at www.mdiproducts.com
