  PRODUCTS ON SOLUTIONS TO MOULDING TROUBLE
 

The molding plastic product in principle is produced in accordance with standard specification. Some time, the operation conditions may be varied or minor adjustment can be made to operation condition, mold design or molding machine and filtration of the raw material in use, such problem can be solved by molding adjustment condition.

Attention to molding adjustment condition:

  1. Each adjustment must be wait until the result before next alteration.
  2. After adjustment must be pay attention some time until operation stability. Usually pressure alteration condition can be know in one or two shot molding operation but temperature alteration must pay attention about ten minutes for stable result.
  3. This chapter will list the possible problems to final product item by item and applied with solution methods.
