Transfer Molding - Process

• Suitable for thermo-setting plastics


• The amount of molding material is measured
• The material is preheated
• The material is loaded into a chamber called pot
• A plunger is used to force the material from the
pot into mold cavities
• The mold remains closed as the material is
inserted Contd.

9M402.48 6
Transfer Molding - Process

• The mold walls are heated above the melting point of the
material
• The material flows faster through the cavities
• The mold remain closed until curing the material is
complete
• Ejector pins are used to push the part from the mold

Advantages Of Transfer Molding

• Has shorter production cycles


• Ideal for high production runs
• Uses closed mold
• More dense parts can be produced
• Small tolerances can be achieved
• Large intricate parts can be produced
