The injection moulding machine is the heart of the moulding process and is responsible for forming, cooling and ejecting a finished plastic product. Typically, there are four injection moulding parameters to consider when examining one of these machines, which include the barrel temperature, injection pressure, injection speed and holding time which determines the efficiency and productivity of the machine and the quality of the finished product.
Over the past one and a half centuries since the injection moulding machine was first invented back in 1872 by the two brothers John and Isiah Hyatt, there have been many advancements in both the efficiency of the machine and the quality of the materials used to produce products from molten plastic.
Allow our expert engineers at Buzz Trading to expand on how we have used innovation, invention and ingenuity to produce superior-quality plastic products that are nearly impossible to improve upon. These include:

Innovations to the Injection Moulding Machine That Set Us in a Class Above the Rest
- Using High-Speed Injection Moulding Machines
These machines can inject molten plastic at much faster speeds than traditional ones. This vastly reduces cycle times and increases productivity.
- Multi-Cavity Moulds
Also known as family injection moulds, these have more than one cavity cut into the mould. These moulds can produce multiple identical parts from a single injection cycle. This also vastly increases production rates and overall productivity of the manufacturing line.
- Heated Moulds
Also known as hot runner moulds, the heated moulding process typically possesses faster cycle times than other processes. Additionally, they reduce the number of post-production activities like spruce removal, recycling and regrinding, saving time and money.
- Closed-Loop Control Systems
These systems monitor and control the injection moulding process in real-time. They can assist in monitoring the consistency of the molten plastic in each injection which can help to improve the quality of the product and the consistency of the duplications.
- Advanced Sensors Along Production Lines
These sensors detect faults and defects in individual products while they are on the production line. This process improves quality control and increases consumer confidence.
Providing End-to-End Production Solutions
By keeping up to date with the latest innovations, techniques and cutting-edge technology in plastic injection moulding, Buzz Trading can offer end-to-end production solutions guaranteeing higher product quality within the market. With injection moulding, we provide cost-effective manufacturing solutions to meet the growing demands for improved productivity at higher turnaround times without compromising on quality.
- As we are involved from the design phase through to delivery, any complexities or risks are reduced thereby optimising the production cycle.
- Through improved product design flexibilities, we can maintain consistent quality and standards throughout a batch.
- Various quality assurance measures, including final inspection of the moulded products, ensure that we are compliant with local standards as well as your expectations.
Unlike traditional moulding methods, plastic injection moulding allows us to take a product concept and turn it into reality.
Through our partnerships we produce, manufacture and distribute to most of the largest retail chains throughout the continent. However, we always have time to accommodate unique new inventions or other industries like the automotive, consumer electronics, pharmaceutical and medical industries along with the food and beverage and related sectors.
