Injection Molding Machine - Questions
(OP)
Hello,
I am interested in liquid injection molding with liquid silicone rubber.
1) Is there a particular liquid injection molding machine needed for liquid silicone rubber?
2) What is the smallest machine that can perform liquid injection molding? All of them I have seen are huge. Is there a machine that is compressed into a tinier size without all the bells and whistles?
3) Are there any modern, user-friendly books or publications recommended so I can learn more about the basics of (1) liquid injection molding with liquid silicone rubber, (2) molds, and (3) liquid silicone rubber?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Thomas

RE: Injection Molding Machine - Questions
Here is one machine makers take on it (they probably have most of the European market for LSR machines). There will be others: http://www.arburg.com/fileadmin/redaktion/Mediathe...
They make machines down to 125kN clamp force, which is quite small.
