A popular practice of moldmakers and injection molders is to coat mold components as an attempt to increase the durability and achieve longer life while reducing maintenance and operational costs. This practice is certainly plausible, as it often falls short of providing the expected results and reduces the potential for maximum cost savings. [...]
In a well-established industry like moldmaking, the idea of innovation is a bit like the weather – everyone talks about it, but no one seems to be able to do anything about it. Steven , President and CEO of First-rate mold solution co, ltd., is an exception to that rule. First-rate mold solution co, ltd [...]
so when we select a feeding system, what is the primary principle? I think it is to maintain the temperature and pressure as it flows out of the nozzle and fill out the cavity easily. Commonly, it prefers a “ short and thick” spure, runner, and gate. Other considerations are also given to the requirement [...]
in that case, in practice, how to make a decision on gate and runner design is very important. Because every mold has it’s making schedule. […]
Although the design of runner and gate has a great impact on the part’s molding, and quality. […]
yes! You are right, while the melt plastic passes the spure, runners and gate, it fills out at elevated temperature and reduced pressure, due to friction. The melt plastic material gradually cools off in the cavity by heat transfer.
where is called gate in a feeding system? When melt plastic flows out of the nozzle of the injection molding machine into the mold, to a single cavity mold, […]
today we should discuss something about feeding system, because in mold design, […]
Today’s automation cells allow for one part or multiple parts to be run and will provide unattended operation, opening up valuable resources and saving costs. Mold manufacturers can use a common interface/fixture to accomplish one part loading of electrodes and molds versus using a different set-up for each new part run. With a properly designed [...]
A quality hot runner system is critical to the injection molding of consistent, high quality parts. One of the most important performance aspects of a hot runner system is its temperature uniformity. The temperature should be consistent across the hot runner system and should not vary with time. Even slight variations in temperature can have [...]
