Description

Plastic injection molding process does not complete, because the cavity is not filled with plastic or injection process lacks some details.

Recommendations to resolve

Injection molding machine

1.Injection speed is insufficient.

 

Increase the injection speed.

2.Shortage of plastic.

1.Check the amount of plastic in the hopper.

 

2.Check that you correctly set the injection stroke.

3. Screw didn't leave a screw litter.

Check valve for wear or cracks.

4.Changes in operating hours.

Check the operation is stable.

5.Injection cylinder temperature is too low.

1.Increase the melt temperature.

2.Increase the back pressure.

6.Injection speed is insufficient.

 

Increase the injection speed.

7. Nozzle part is sealed.

Check the nozzle hole for foreign object or plastic.

8.Nozzle or injection cylinder heater damage.

Check the heater outer and check the energy output is correct.

9.Injection time is too short.

Increase the screw forward time.

10.Plastic against the pipe wall and the hopper.

Increase the cooling capacity of hopper throat area, or lower the the injection cylinder temperatures.

11.Injection molding machine capacity is too small (that is, injections or weight plasticizing capacity).

Use a large plastic injection molding machine.

Mold

1. Insufficient mold exhaust.

Check the vent if its block or not.

2. Insufficient mold filling.

1.Increase the gate size or reduce the length of gate junction area.

2. Add cold material to the runner to prevent non-plasticized plastic seal.

Plastic

1.Injection part wall is too thin, plastic cannot flow.

Uselow viscosity (namely to flow more easily) plastic.

2.Plastic flow's length is too large, plastic does not fill properly in injection molded parts.

Change the location of the gate in order to reduce the length of plastic flow.
