Ballpoint Pen Manufacturing will involve many making processes and pen making machines, like ballpoint pen assembly process, ballpoint pens part manufacturing process, ballpoint pen automatic assembly machines, pens parts making machine, pens materials treatment process & machines, etc.
Below we will try to introduce the pen manufacturing industry step by step.
Firstly, we should know the pen components & ballpoint pen parts’ names. Most of ballpoint pens will mostly have parts like pen barrel, pen clip, pen tip, thrust device, thrust tube, spring, reservoir, socket, ball & ink.
But there are lots of simple design ballpoint pens with quite fewer parts, these ball point pen parts names are pen barrel, pen end clip, reservoir, socket, ball & ink.
Secondly, we would like to talk about the manufacturing process. Most of ballpoint pen making process as below:
1. Making the ink: Large batches of ink are made in a designated area of the manufacturing plant.
2. Stamping and forming:
1). While the ink is being made, the metal components of the pen are being constructed.
2). The formed pieces are then cleaned and cut. They are immersed in a bath to remove oils used in the molding process.
3. Molding the housing:
1). The plastic components of the pen are constructed simultaneously with the Ballpoint Pen’s other pen pieces.
2). For pieces that have more complex shapes, like caps, ends, and mechanical components, injection molding is used.
4. Ink filling and assembly:
After the components are formed, the assembly can take place. Typically, the ballpoint is first attached to the ink reservoir.
5. Final assembly, packaging, and shipping:
The point and reservoir are then placed inside the main body of the pen. At this stage, other components such as the cap and ends are incorporated. Other finishing steps, such as adding coatings or decorations or performing a final cleaning, are also done. The finished pens are then packaged according to how they will be sold.
In this article, we would like to introduce more details about the ballpoint pens` plastic parts manufacturing. As it`s most people want to know when entering the ballpoint pens manufacturing industry or business. As we know, most ballpoint pen manufacturers produce the ballpoint pen`s plastic parts themself and then bought the ball point pen refill from a big manufacturer.
So what ball pen manufacturing machines you may need if you want to produce the ball pens? The answer is plastic injection molding machines is the main pen maker machine. As it can be used to produce most of ball pen plastic parts like pen barrel, pen clip, pen tip, thrust device, thrust tube, pen end plug, cap, adapter, etc.
Ball pen making machines will include many machines to set up the pens manufacturing production line:
1. Plastic injection molding machine
2. Plastic injection molds
3. Plastic materials
4. Material hopper dryer
5. Material auto feeder/vacuum loader
6. Water tower/chiller

How the Spring Ballpoint Pen Works
The automatic ballpoint pen is a commonly used tool in daily study and office. Press the refill to extend and lock the ballpoint pen, and then press the refill to retract into the pen holder, which is simple and practical. How does an automatic ballpoint pen work?
Structural composition: The components of the automatic telescopic locking mechanism of the ballpoint pen include: locking parts, pressure rods, and guide rails, as shown in the following figure:
The upper and lower tooth columns of the automatic ballpoint pen (for the time being) are the upper tooth column that can be pressed by hand, and the lower tooth column that can be rotated inside. The meshing of the upper and lower tooth columns is incomplete, only the tip of the tooth is partially engaged, and the guide ribs behind the two engaged teeth are designed to slide in the same guide groove, and the lower tooth column is pushed down by the upper tooth column. After the groove, due to the action of the spring, the teeth of the lower tooth column will slide along the inclined surface of the teeth of the meshing upper tooth column, so that under the action of the inclined surface, the lower tooth column will turn an angle and slide to the other side. , it is pressed down, and this repetition can realize the function of the ballpoint pen. I don’t know if the expression is clear or not. It’s best to observe the ballpoint pen carefully to confirm my statement.
