Plastic Pallet Manufacturing Process:
Plastic pallet Manufacturing Process has been cahnges overtime with every company. The following types of manufacturing process are in plastic industries.
- Injection molding plastic pallets
- Thermoforming plastic pallets
- Blow molding plastic pallets
- Compression molding plastic pallets
- Rotational molding plastic pallets
Injection Molding Plastic Pallets
Injection molding is a popular process of molding a pallet into required shape or size. This process is most suitable for larger qty manufacturing, as it’s a quick and fast process, which results in an exact size plastic pallet each time.
The plastic pallet manufacturing process for injection molding is:
- Raw materials will be passed into the molding machines through a hopper
- Multiple Heater bands and the use of frictional force will melt the plastic
- Heated plastic in a liquid state will then leave the mold into the shape of the pallet we require. After that cool and turn into a solid into the mold.
Thermoforming Plastic Pallets
The process of thermoforming plastic pallets is where you need to heat the plastic to a set temperature. Once it has got to the right temperature, you can them form it within the mold and allow to cool.
The plastic pallet manufacturing process for thermoforming is:
- Heating the plastic granuals into a plastic sheet which is the desired thickness
- Then form the sheet or sheets into the mold, while escaping any air between the sheet and the mold. This can be done through a vacuum suction which draws the heat directly out
- Then allow the plastic to cool to create the pallet shape
Blow Molding Plastic Pallets
The process of blow molding a plastic pallet is:
- Melt the plastic
- Form the melted plastic into a parison
- Clamp the parison into a mold
- Blow any air in the parison to expand allowing it to take the shape of the mold
- Allow the plastic to cool and harden into the shape of the plastic pallet
Compression Molding Plastic Pallets
Compression molding plastic pallets is a cost effective process of making plastic pallets. This process minimises waste and involves:
- Placing the material into the mold
- Heating the mold whilst you apply a pressure
- Maintaining this pressure until the pallet cures
Although this is a slow process of creating plastic pallets, is does benefit you for reducing costs and minimising waste.
Rotational Molding Plastic Pallets
Rotational molding plastic pallets is when you ground the materials into small pieces, load them into the mold and heat until they have injected into the mold shape.
