1000w Clear /Half White Halogen Ir Infrared Heat Lamp Heating Elements For Plastic Moulding application

1. Pre – heating of Plastic Resins
   • In plastic moulding, the plastic resins need to be pre – heated before injection or extrusion into the mould. The 1000W Clear/Half White Halogen IR Infrared Heat Lamp is an excellent tool for this. The infrared radiation it emits can penetrate the plastic resins, heating them evenly and quickly.
   • For example, in injection moulding of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) resins, the heat lamp can raise the temperature of the resin pellets to the appropriate range for better flowability. This is crucial because the viscosity of the plastic resin decreases as it gets warmer, allowing it to fill the mould cavity more easily and completely. The pre – heating temperature can vary depending on the type of plastic, but generally, it can range from 150 – 250°C for many common plastics. The infrared heat lamp helps to achieve this temperature more efficiently than other heating methods such as using a hot plate.
2. Mould Temperature Control
   • The infrared heat lamp can also be used to control the temperature of the plastic mould. Maintaining the correct mould temperature is essential for achieving high – quality plastic parts.
   • If the mould is too cold, the plastic may cool and solidify too quickly, resulting in incomplete filling of the mould or surface defects such as sink marks. The heat lamp can be directed towards the mould to keep it at an optimal temperature. For example, in blow moulding of plastic bottles, a warm mould helps in achieving a smooth outer surface and consistent wall thickness. The infrared heat lamp can provide a constant source of heat to the mould, compensating for any heat loss during the moulding process and ensuring the production of defect – free plastic products.
3. Drying of Plastic Materials
   • Many plastic materials are hygroscopic, meaning they can absorb moisture from the air. Moisture in the plastic can cause problems such as steam bubbles or voids during the moulding process.
   • The 1000W halogen IR infrared heat lamp can be used to dry the plastic materials before moulding. The heat from the lamp evaporates the moisture, leaving the plastic dry and ready for moulding. For instance, in the case of nylon (PA) plastics, which are known to absorb moisture, using the infrared heat lamp to dry the material can significantly improve the quality of the moulded parts. The infrared radiation can penetrate the material to remove moisture not just from the surface but also from the interior of the plastic.
