What is External Heating (Coil Heater)?
Coil heaters have been introduced to the hot runner system – greatly increasing the cycle speed and the quality of the product produced. […]
What is Cartridge Heater?
Cartridge heaters are utilized around the flow channel to ensure uniform temperature. It is important to keep the distance between the heaters and the manifold equal or greater than 1x the diameter of the heating. […]
Modern mold temperature control technology
A new mold temperature control technology has been developed that affects the two most important things in mold cooling: flow rate and temperature. […]
Introduction to Tubular Heating Elements
Tubular heating elements are inserted into a milled slot into the manifold. This allows for a more accurate location of heat at the areas that require the most . […]
How to identify Thermal Insulation Boards
Thermal Load StabilityOxidizing decay of organic components in thermal insulation boards increases with rising temperatures. Continuous thermal load is defined by the temperature at which the application of a particular grade can be technically and economically justified, so that the lifetime will extend to several years. […]
More details about mold steel
Many industries place strict requirements on the acceptable level of surface defects and imperfections that may appear on a plastic molded part. Such conditions often apply to critical components for the medical and pharmaceutical industries as well as for the manufacturers of lenses and other optical devices. […]
please consider to use aluminum material in your mold
With requirements for lowest weight, highest thermal conductivity and ease of machinability, tool and mold applications are a natural opportunity for aluminum. Aluminum producers have responded with often-proprietary and trade-named products tailored to meet the diversity of challenges presented by these applications. […]
Steel price is rising
Global steel prices have soared in the past months, far beyond levels that anyone inside or outside of the steel industry forecasted last November and December. […]
What is mold steel polishability?
When it comes to surface finish, it must be understood that any defect that appears on the surface of the mold will be replicated onto the surface of the molded part. If the mold surface contains scratches, pits, welds, uneven textured patterns, etc., […]
Mold Steel selection is very important
Reduced machining time reduces leadtime, lowers labor costs and improves machine use. You can build more tools in less time, increasing revenues. First-rate Mold Solution Co., Ltd experienced what the modified P-21 grades could do to machining time first-hand. President Steven discusses a tool cost analysis he was asked to do in 1992 for the [...]
