The dangerous areas of injection molding machines should be taken care of and kept away from safety hazards

In fact, there are some safety risks in the use of injection molding machine. This is also related to the working conditions of the injection molding machine, which requires heating and pressing the plastic products. So the injection molding machine has high pressure, high speed, and high temperature when it is operating, which will cause harm to the human body. Injection molding machine manufacturers remind you that when using the injection molding machine to operate, you should be careful of the dangerous area of the injection molding machine, away from safety risks.     

  1. The main danger areas of injection molding machine are as follows:

Feeding area: do not place iron bar or other foreign matter in this area because of screw rotation;  

Barrel cover area: this area is the raw material heating area, the temperature is very high and there is danger of electric shock;  

Nozzle area: this area is where the raw material is injected under high pressure, and there is a risk of splashing;  

Mould area: this area is the mould high speed and high pressure switch action area, which is quite dangerous.  In addition, the raw material may also be ejected from the mold closing surface, need special care;  

Demoulding area: with strong mechanical action, need special care;

Clamping mechanism: with high speed and strong mechanical action, need special care.

  • Main hazards and harmful factors

Mechanical risk factors; Thermal injury factor; Electrical injury factors; Pests; Environmental factors; People’s unsafe behavior factors.

  • Dangerous and harmful factors of peripheral equipment of injection molding machine

Hot air hopper dryer; Automatic packing machine; Automatic extraction machine (manipulator); Plastic crusher。

  • Safety accident of injection molding machining operation

Due to the strong, high speed, high temperature, high pressure characteristics of the injection molding machine. The safety guarantee adopted in the design is usually high, most accidents are caused by operation error or violation of operation procedures.

Injection molding machine manufacturers with years of experience to remind the majority of users friends, often occur in the following accidents:

Hands crushed by molds; Crushed hand by thimble; Because the head and arm of the human body are required to enter the dangerous area for troubleshooting or maintenance, but because the power supply of the injection molding machine is not cut off or the motor of the injection molding machine is not closed, the equipment suddenly fails and moves, resulting in a certain part of the human body being crushed; High temperature melt splash; Compression injury, scald, bruise and metal scratch caused by peripheral equipment of injection molding machine in fire accident.

Do you have a good understanding of these safety risks in the work of the injection molding machine? When using the injection molding machine to operate, it is necessary to put safety first. Do not move the unfamiliar places to prevent safety accidents. If you have this aspect of demand and intention, you can contact us at any time.
