SMC / BMC Moulding Hydraulic Press

The Challenge of Making the Large parts in the Automobile Industry the Solutions such as SMC – Sheet Moulding Compound and BMC – Bulk Moulding Compound are used regularly . The excellent part reproducibility, it is cost effective as low labor requirements per production level is very good and industry scrap is reduced substantially

These compounds are Moulded at High temperature and High Pressure so that a Final Shape of the Component has been made with high Geometrical Accuracies . The Weight of the final component is lighter as compared to the components made from Steel and Aluminum and . The Components made from SMC / BMC Compound also has the capability to resist heat and Provide the Strength , Mechanical Integrity as compared to Thermoplastics .

SMC and BMC are mixtures of resin, fillers and reinforcement, processed in heated mold to form a cured component. SMC is a sheet consisting of uncured resin reinforced with glass fibers, which is laid into the mold and compression molded. BMC is a bulk mixture of uncured resin reinforced with glass fibers, which is injected into the mold.

SMC has longer fiber length than BMC and a higher fiber content, resulting in greater flexural strength and tensile strength. SMC is used for larger flat parts, components with higher structural requirements, and parts that need good cosmetics. Parts where SMC is used include automotive body panels, building façade panels, deck lids, and electrical cabinet etc.

SMC / BMC Customised Hydraulic Press Solution 

Because of the shorter fiber length and lower fiber content, BMC can be injection molded and fill finer cavities and thinner parts. The higher filler content results in a smoother surface. Application examples include car headlamp reflectors, appliance components (iron heat shields, coffee machine parts, fuse switches, oven handles, Consumer Durables , Electrical Insulators , and Electrical Switch Gears etc. .

To Incorporate the above process , Micro Team  has indigenously designed and developed SMC / BMC Hydraulic Presses of Capacity 20 Tons to 2000 Tons , where the Above Components can be Moulded .

These Presses comes in H – Frame Construction and in Pillar Construction conforming  with Geometrical Tolerances as per JIS b 6403 : 1973 ‘Test code for performance and accuracy for hydraulic presses’ issued by Japanese Industrial Standard Committee (JIS). and meeting Safety Norms as per CE / OSHA Requirement . with Proper Guiding Arrangement which assure the Accuracy of the Movement of Machine Beds .

The Plastic Material is Placed directly into the Mould whose Temperature is set Through Temperature Controllers . After Placing the Compound, the Top Platen starts coming down and closes the mould at a Set Pressure . The Curing Time Can is Set through the HMI which is Installed in the Control Panel .

The Heated Mould at constant Temperature and Pressure , the Compound will flow to take the Shape of the Mould . Degassing Feature is also incorporated in the system . After Curing Process is Complete Machine, will Automatically Open the Moulds and remove the Final Moulded Component , which can be trimmed for the Final Shape .

Other Features such as Pressure & Flow Control , Ejection Device , Lubrication System , Safety Guards , Foot Switch and Peripheral Equipment’s are Standard Scope of Supply .

We also Provide the Tooling’s along with the Machine .

For any customization required by customer in the standard series of Machines . please collaborate with our Sales – Technical Team 0091-9350230826 or Email –  sales@microhydrotechnic.co.in . we will be glad to do Design & Manufacture a Hydraulic Press as Per your Requirements.
