CALCULATION OF NUMBER OF CAVITIES IN MOULD
EXAMPLE : -- Following are data available Components to be produced per day = 5000Effective production time per shift = 7 HoursTotal no. of shifts per day = 2
Component Data : -- Material = Poly propyleneDensity = 0. 9 gm. / cc. ; wall thickness = 2. 0 mm.Weight of one component = 3. 6 gm.Weight of feed system = 0. 9 gm.Max. projected area of component = 12. 5 cm2
Projected feed system area = 2. 5 cm2
Machine Data :--- SP 30 Windsor machineInjection pressure ( Max. ) = 1950 Kg. / cm 2
Shot capacity , Swept volume = 44 cm3
Plasticising capacity = 15 Kg / Hour

Safe no. of cavities in mould to utilize optimum capacities of machineAnd also meet the daily Production is calculated as shown below : --
Machine’s safe Shot capacity = Vs X ρ X C X ήVs – Swept volume cm 3; ρ --Density of plastic gm./ cm 3
C -- Material constant ( 0.85 for crystalline & 0.93 for Amorphous) ή – Efficiency of machine = 85 %Hence safe shot capacity of m/c = 44 x 0.9 x 0.85 x 0.85
=28. 6 gm / shotOne component wt. + feed system wt. = 3.6 + 0.9 = 4.5 gm.Hence no. of cavities as per shot capacity, =28.6 / 4.5 = 6
m/c’s safe Plasticising capacity (PP.) = Pl. capacity P.S.X QPS / QPP X ή = 15Kg./hr.X 57/ 130 X 0.85
= 5. 6 Kg./ hr.Assuming cycle time of 30 sec., no. of shots/ hr = 3600 /30 =120Hence no. of cavities as per plast. capacity, = 5. 6 X1000 / (120x4.5)
= say 10 cavitiesContd.

CALCULATION OF NUMBER OF CAVITIES IN MOULD (contd.)
Clamping tonnage = no.of cavity x proj. area x cavity press.For P.P. ,Inj. press. recommended is 700 to 1400 Kg./ cm2
Wall thk. being 2mm, pi .can be taken as 800Kg / cm2
Cavity press. = 1/ 2 or 1/ 3 of Inj.press. Since PP. is easy flow material ,cavity press. = 1/2X 800kg/ cm2
Therefore Clamping tonnage = N x 15 x 400 /1000 tons.Equating to machine’s safe clamp tons. of 30 x 0.85No of cavities as per clamp. N = 30 x 0.85 x1000 / 15x400 say N = 4 cavities The least no. of cavities 4, out of the three capacities is selected.Check for production rate per day :--Total productive time / day = 2x7 hoursCycle time being 30 sec, no. of shots/ hour = 120Therefore production /day = 14 x 120 x 4 = 6720 components

SHRINKAGE AND ITS APPLICATIONSHRINKAGE :-- All materials when heated expand and on cooling contract. The method of injection moulding also is subjected to expansion of plastic during injection phase and its contraction during cooling for solidification, Hence the volume change from mould dimension to thepart dimension causing SHRINKAGE of plastic.
SHRINKAGE of plastic depends on material and its processing.Various factors that affect shrinkage are :---1. Basic plastic material2. Filler used and percentage3. Part wall thickness4. Melt temperature5. Mould temperature6. Injection pressure7. Injection time8. Hold on pressure9. Hold on time10. Gate area

SHRINKAGE
MOULDING SHRINKAGE IS AFFECTED BY THE FOLLOWING : --
• Shrinkage increases with ----• Increase in melt temperature• Increase in mould temperature• Increase in wall thickness• Low injection pressure• Shrinkage decreases with ----• Low melt and mould temperature• High injection pressure• Long injection time• Filler material and its content
