How to maintain the mold daily

Maintaining Molds, a Breeze for Beginners!

Hey there! Hello, all you injection molding factory buddies! Today, let's dive into the exciting world of mold maintenance and discover how it can boost durability and ensure top-notch product quality.

Now, we all know molds determine the shape, specifications, dimensions, and sleekness of our products. And given their uniqueness, precision, and vulnerability, protecting them becomes crucial!

Let's explore some key points for daily maintenance together:

1. Rust Repellent: Let's thwart rust right from its roots! Whether it's leakages, condensation droplets, rain showers or pesky fingerprints—nothing should invade our beloved injection machine molds.

2. Collision Prevention: No more stuck ejector pins on our watch! Avoid damaging molds due to broken or improperly retracted ejector pins.

3. Deburring Delight: Don't let burrs ruin our groove! Deploy techniques like cloth wiping, material flushes, or even hands-on polishing to prevent those darn burrs caused by accidental impacts.

4. Spare Parts Savior: Let no missing piece dampen our spirits! Ensure auxiliary parts like pull rods and gaskets remain intact to avoid any damage during mold usage.

5. Pressure Protector: Bid farewell to squashed molds once and for all! Keep your molds squeaky clean to avoid unnecessary harm caused by product residues.

6. Voltage Vigilance: Beware the perils of low voltage protection! Steer clear of unexpected mishaps caused by inadequate voltage protection measures while safeguarding the interests of the injection molding industry.

Here's a pro tip for you! According to statistics, the most common and highest proportion of mold damage is caused by broken ejector pins, incomplete retraction of ejector pins, leftover products in the mold, and missing parts. And let me tell you, the repair costs are not cheap. So, how can we prevent these issues? It directly affects our interests in the injection molding industry!

What should you do if you accidentally neglect mold maintenance and damage them? Don't worry, we've got some suggestions prepared just for you:

Important reminders for mold maintenance:

1. When dismantling the mold, handle it with care to avoid any scratches or water splashes. Move it as steady as Mount Tai, treating it like your precious treasure.

2. Before spraying with a hot runner system, why not apply some mold release agent first? Just remember to use a small amount! Let's make this process smoother.

3. You must conduct a comprehensive inspection and rust prevention treatment on the mold! Be cautious in removing moisture and debris from dry cavities, cores, ejector mechanisms, and movements. Then give them a loving care treatment with professional mold rust inhibitors and buttery lubricants.

Important reminder: Mold also needs maintenance! During continuous operation, parts may wear out due to movement; lubricants may deteriorate; leaks may occur; or even plastic materials might get crushed under pressure. This is when our meticulous care for molds steps in.

Here are some points to note:

1. Regular rust removal is essential! This includes cleaning both the appearance and PL surfaces as well as mold cavities and cores.
