LSR Prototype to Production: Timeline & Process
A typical liquid silicone rubber (LSR) part moves from prototype to mass production in about 10-18 weeks, spanning design/DFM, prototyping, production mold fabrication, T1 sampling and validation, and pilot-to-ramp - with mold build and validation being the longest stages.

LSR Injection Molding Machine Parameters Explained
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.

LSR Cold Runner Systems: Cut Waste & Cost
LSR cold runner system is the single fastest way to cut material waste and labor out of liquid silicone rubber molding. By keeping the silicone liquid until it reaches the cavity, it eliminates cured runners and trimming entirely. This guide helps process engineers and buyers decide when a cold runner pays for itself.

How to Select LSR Injection Molding Machine Tonnage
Choosing the right clamping force is the single most consequential spec decision when buying a liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding machine. Pick too little and you fight flash on every shot; pick too much and you pay for energy and floor space you never use.

Self-Bonding LSR: How Self-Adhesive Liquid Silicone Simplifies Multi-Material Overmolding
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.

Smart Automation in Silicone Manufacturing: Improving Consistency and Reducing Labor Costs
Labor shortages, rising wage costs, and increasing quality expectations are pushing silicone product manufacturers toward greater automation. For liquid silicone rubber (LSR) production specifically, automation is not just about reducing headcount — it directly impacts part consistency, contamination control, and overall production efficiency.

Liquid Injection Molding Machines process
LSR injection molding will be more and more popular all over the word in the coming days. TYM is a leading LSR injection molding Company which offers custom silicone mould making services as well as injection mold solutions in China.
Now let's talk about the key components of the conventional, two-part liquid injection molding process are basically as below:
Supply drums: The plungers, or liquid silicone supply containers, connect to the pumping system. Many two-container setups include a third container for pigment.
Metering units: The metering device pumps two liquid materials in predetermined ratios, which ensures a concurrent release at a steady ratio.
Mixers: Once the liquid forming materials pass through the metering unit, a static mixer combines the materials. The blended material is pressurized and pushed into the mold.
Injectors: This device moves the LSR forming material into the pumping mechanism under pressurized force. The machine operator has the capability to adjust the pressure, as well as the injection rate. This parameter differs according to the project specifications.
Nozzles: The liquid compound flows into the mold through a nozzle that has an automatic shut-off valve. This valve prevents the mixture from leaking or the mold from overfilling.
Let's put it this way ,the basic liquid injection molding machine should be as lean and as compact as possible and secondary devices should be configured to address the needs of a particular project in an ideal production environment.
