If you run an LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) injection molding line, the feeding system is easy to overlook — until it starts costing you scrap rate, downtime, and inconsistent shot weights. Two technologies dominate the market today: pneumatic (air-driven) feeding systems and pure electric servo feeding systems. Here's an honest, practical comparison to help you decide which fits your production line.

An LSR injection molding machine spec sheet lists dozens of numbers, but only a handful decide whether your silicone parts cure fully, stay flash-free and cost little to run. This 2026 guide explains the parameters that matter most, so engineers and buyers can compare machines on the specs that actually affect part quality, not marketing figures.

TYM launches the new TYM-W170, W230 & W280 Horizontal LSR & Plastic Injection Molding Machines. Support dual-material production for flexible manufacturing.

The global liquid silicone rubber (LSR) market is valued at roughly USD 3.4-3.8 billion in 2026 and growing about 7-9% annually, led by medical-grade demand (~44% of revenue) and rising EV production. Asia-Pacific dominates manufacturing capacity.

If you manufacture multi-material silicone parts, the bonding step is often the hidden bottleneck. Traditional liquid silicone rubber (LSR) overmolding relies on a separately applied primer to make the silicone stick to a plastic or metal substrate.

In liquid silicone rubber (LSR) manufacturing, product quality is heavily influenced by how effectively air is removed from the mold cavity. Trapped air can lead to bubbles, incomplete filling, surface defects, and reduced product consistency.

Clamping force is one of the most fundamental parameters in liquid silicone rubber injection molding. While many manufacturers focus heavily on injection pressure, metering accuracy, and mold design, the selection of proper clamp force directly influences product quality, mold lifespan, process stability, and overall production efficiency.

As manufacturing industries move toward sustainable and cost-efficient production models, energy optimization has become an increasingly important factor in liquid silicone rubber injection molding.

Liquid silicone rubber injection molding machines operate under highly specialized production conditions that require long-term precision, thermal stability, and continuous mechanical reliability.
