plastic injection and casting lab

Location           - IE department building, 1st floor

Opening Hours - 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Brief Explanation

         The Plastic Injection & Casting Lab is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in the field of polymer processing and manufacturing. This lab focuses on the production and testing of plastic materials and components, simulating real-world industrial processes.

Objectives

• Understanding Polymer Processing: To familiarize students with the properties and behavior of polymers under different manufacturing processes.

• Skill Development: To equip students with the technical skills required to operate advanced plastic manufacturing equipment.

• Process Optimization: To study and optimize parameters for efficient and high-quality plastic production.

• Innovative Applications: To encourage the exploration of innovative applications for plastics in various industries.

Lab Materials 

In the Plastic Injection & Casting Lab, we are equipped with state-of-the-art machines essential for polymer processing and manufacturing. This includes a Compression Molding Machine, which is used to shape polymers under heat and pressure, and an Internal Mixer, designed for compounding and achieving uniform polymer blends. Additionally, the lab houses a Plastic Extrusion Machine for creating continuous profiles and sheets, and a Plastic Injection Machine for producing complex plastic components with high precision. To support material handling and further processing, a Pelletizer is also available, which transforms plastic into uniform pellets.
