PEEK plastic injection molding involves injecting molten PEEK plastic into molds through an injection molding machine and obtaining the desired shape and dimensions after cooling and solidification. This process requires precise control of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and time, along with meticulous management of mold design and material drying. It is this strict control of technical details that endows PEEK plastic injection molded products with high precision, high consistency, and excellent physical properties.


Key Process Points of PEEK Plastic Injection Molding: Precise Control, Pursuit of Excellence


There are several key points that cannot be ignored in the process of PEEK plastic injection molding:


Material Drying


Due to the hygroscopic nature of PEEK, strict drying treatment is required before injection to reduce moisture content and prevent defects such as bubbles and silver streaks in the products.

Temperature Control


Different types of peek material both have a high melting temperature and are sensitive to temperature changes. Therefore, it is necessary to precisely control the barrel temperature, mold temperature, and nozzle temperature during the injection process to ensure the plastic melt fills and solidifies under optimal conditions.


Pressure and Speed


Reasonable injection pressure and speed are crucial to the molding quality of the products. Appropriate pressure ensures that the plastic melt fully fills the mold cavity, while suitable speed helps reduce internal stress and shrinkage deformation.
