How to do a good mold Cleaning?
The type of fouling (chemical make-up and physical characteristics) or residue the molding process leaves behind on your tooling will help determine your cleaning requirements. Many resins contain stabilizers, […]
What is The Cleaning Culture in mold cleaning?
Mold cleaning is a process where major maintenance bottlenecks often occur because molds are pulled faster than they can be cleaned and made production-ready. I have visited plants where molds waiting to be cleaned line hallways and toolrooms, taking up valuable bench space. […]
How to create a repair plan for mold
Creating a repair plan for some companies usually means setting a mold on a repair technician’s bench with instructions such as “mold flashing, fix it.” Other companies might have a log or notebook that follows the mold, which the technician must decipher and then decide what to fix. […]
Injection Mold Layout Sheets are very important
Regardless of mold type, the goal of a maintenance shop always is the same: get a mold production-ready after it has been removed from service. […]
Introduction to Heater Construction
In order to understand the causes and related problems associated with heater failure we should first understand the construction of a heater. […]
Introduction to Temperature Control Types of heater
Temperature control has a great deal to do with the life of your heater. There are many different types of temperature control on the market today. It will be impossible to cover all of them, so this article will cover the benefits, as they would affect heater life. […]
Introduction to Heater Removal

When a heater is removed by drilling with a size-for-size drill, the drill will cause scallops in the heater hole, [...]
Limitations of rotational molding and Material requirements
Rotationally molded parts have to follow some restrictions that are different from other plastic processes. As it is a low pressure process, sometimes designers face hard to reach areas in the mold. Good quality powder may help overcome some situations, but usually the designers have to keep in mind that it is not possible to [...]
Introduction to Advantages of rotational molding
Rotational molding offers design advantages over other molding processes. With proper design, parts assembled from several pieces can be molded as one part, eliminating high fabrication costs. […]
