Recommendations to resolve

Injection molding machine

1. Cold material in the nozzle.

1. Check the nozzle installation to see if its dripping.

2. Increase the  jet nozzle temperature.

3. If using closed fire mouth, check that it is operating correctly.

4. Nozzle back taper allows the separation of plastic and mold.

2.Melt temperature is too low.

Increase melt temperature.

3. Injection molded parts are not fully populated.

1.Increase the injection moulding of plastic injection molding machine.

2.Increase injection pressure.

4.Clamping force is not sufficient for use in molding surface.

Increasing effective clamping force.

Mold

1.Without prior establishment of cold material points.

Opposite the note process a plastic plug or deepen existing plastic plug.

2.Mold temperature too low.

Increase the mold temperature.

3.Plastic rapid changes in flow direction.

In any place in the mold to avoid sharp edges.

4.The spiral cavity (mixed plastics more obvious).

Increasing the diameter of the gate or gate with slice types.

5.Use release agent.

Avoid the use of release agents.

6. In the gate area, bad cold material by hot runner device due to rough surfaces.

With elevated temperature or correct nozzle improved hot runner injection nozzle.

Plastic

Plastic contains extra lubricants or other processing auxiliary.

Test the same plastic to identify whether its a faulty good.
