China OEM Haitian Injection Molding Machine Factories - Plastic wheel and injection molding – Mestech

Plastic wheels are widely used because of their easy manufacture, low cost, good shock, noise absorption and light weight. Injection molding is the main method of producing plastic wheel. The plastic wheel injection molding process is also widely used.

Generally wheel is are made of steel, aluminum alloy, plastic and wood. Compared with service life, production cost and user experience , wood has been eliminated because of poor durability, and poor resistance to water and fire. For aluminum, its load-bearing and wear resistance is not good.

Nowadays, mood wheel and aluminum wheel are gradually replaced by plastics wheel and steel. EXpcept large load-bearing equipment or precision machine parts such as cars, tanks and aircraft, Plastic wheel have been widely used in machinery, electronics, and People’s lives.

Plastic wheel is manufactured by injection molding. Plastic wheel of the same size only weigh one-seventh and one-sixth of the weight of steel wheel, one-third and one-half of the weight of aluminum wheel. Moreover, plastic will not rust. There are many types plastic resin with different characteristics , and parts that are easy to get different colors  .

Most importantly, the good plasticity of plastics allows mass production at lower cost by mold injection molding. Injection molding can achieve good consistency in size and performance.

In addition, can take embedded metal parts or more than two kinds of plastic secondary molding, get comprehensive mechanical properties, appearance of a variety of products.
