Recommendations to resolve

Injection molding machine

1. Cylinder with a inequality plastic material.

Check for adequate cooling water flow through the hopper throat in order to maintain the correct temperature.

2.Cylinder's temperature fluctuation range is too large.

1.Check whether there are inferior or even and loose electrical heating.

2.Check with temperature controller used with electric heating is a correct type.

3.Injection molding machine's capacity is too small.

Check the injection and plasticizing capacity of plastic injection molding machine, and then compared with the actual quantity of injection moulding and plastics consumption per hour.

4.Injection pressure instable.

1.Ensure sstable melt bedding operation.

2.Check the back flow valve for leaking, if there is a need for a replacement.

3.Check for wrong feed settings.

5.Screw restart instable.

Make sure the operation screw at each recurrence position is stable, that is not more than 0.4mm(0.016in).

6.Changes in operating hours, inconsistent melt viscosity.

1.Check the operating hours for inconsistency.

2.Using back pressure.

Mold

1.Some blocked gate.

Check whether there are any indication of gate residues remain in the sprue hole, especially diving-gate

2.Inconsistent mould temperature control.

1.Checks whether the cooling medium for mold cooling with temperature changes.

2.Check the mould cooling pipe plug.

3.Check the cooling pipes are properly linked.

Plastic

Plastic change.

1.Check the feed size changes.

2.Make sure the powder is sieve.

3.Checks whether the two groups of plastic mixed.
