How To Replace Different Raw Materials During injection Molding?
October 11, 2024
In plastic mold design and selection of injection molding machine should pay attention to the following requirements and precautions for crystallized plastics according to our much experience, reported by Zhejiang Ceeto Mold Co.,Ltd.:
The heat required for the material temperature to rise to the molding temperature is much, and equipment with large plasticizing capacity should be used.
For general thermoplastic materials, the high temperature is easy to stick to the metal surface, while the low temperature is not easy to stick to the metal surface. The replacement operation is to use this property of the material, so that the material that wants to be replaced (want to be extruded) is stuck to the inner wall of the hot heating cylinder, and then the cold screw is supplied with the material with high viscosity (replacement material) to rotate to remove the material that wants to be extruded. These are our basic considerations, at this time, the temperature of the screw side should be kept as low as possible, so that the material that you want to replace is not
Sticking to the screw is the main thing.
The general order and considerations of dissimilar material replacement operations are expressed in the following process:
1. The temperature of the heating cylinder should be kept as low as possible than the actual forming temperature until the end of the replacement operation. Figure A shows the temperature control process in the dissimilar material replacement operation.
2, the number of screw rotation as low as possible, and reduce the back pressure of the screw to prevent the material temperature rise caused by friction heat.
3, each supply screw in a small amount of replacement material, as far as possible not to dissolve the resin wrapped on the screw.
4, so that the screw in a short stroke forward, back multiple times to impact the injection of resin, this operation is very effective.
5. If the inner wall of the heating cylinder and the outer diameter of the head of the screw are damaged, there is a melting resin in this part, and the retention and replacement operation becomes difficult.
