How to Choose Plastic Bottle Caps Production Equipment?
Oct. 18, 2022
There are two main types of plastic bottle cap production equipment: compression molding machines and injection molding machines, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Compression Molding Machines
Advantages:
- High production efficiency
- Better visual appearance by avoiding gate marks
- Easy to maintain molds
Disadvantages:
- Single function, only ordinary caps can be produced
- Finished plastic bottle caps cannot be produced at one time
- Secondary processing may be required after compression molding
Injection Molding Machine
Advantages:
- Flexible cap style design by purchasing various molds
- Not only can produce ordinary caps, but also some special functional caps: such as flip-top caps, two-color caps, etc.
- Not limited to the production of bottle caps, but also other plastic products such as bottle handles
- High-dimensional precision
Disadvantages:
- The production efficiency is lower than that of the compression molding machine
- The cost of replacing and maintaining the mold is high.

Should you choose injection molding machines or compression molding machines?
In general, injection molding machine has advantages over compression molding machines if you are not just producing regular plastic bottle caps.
