How to ensure the service life of injection molds?
Precision injection molds are essential tools in the production of plastic products. Ensuring the service life of molds is extremely important for production quality and efficiency. In the following, we will start with the maintenance of injection molds, and introduce how to effectively extend the service life of precision injection molds.
1. Regular cleaning and drying of molds.
Precision injection molds are affected by the temperature of plastic during production, and plastic residues will exist in the cavity after long-term use. Regular cleaning of molds can effectively reduce the corrosion of plastic residues on molds, and keep the surface of molds smooth. At the same time, the mold should be kept dry to prevent rust from moisture.
2. Reasonable use of molds.
Reasonable use of injection molds is also an important part of extending the service life. Avoid excessive use of molds, especially in cases where there is a large demand for production, and regularly maintain the molds to reduce wear and deformation. Choosing a suitable plastic temperature can also help to reduce the corrosion and wear of plastic on molds.
3. Mold maintenance
3.1. Regularly apply anti-rust oil
To prevent the mold from rusting when it is not used for a long time or stored, a layer of anti-rust can be sprayed evenly to protect the mold surface from the erosion of moisture and avoid rust.
3.2. Regular inspection and repair
Regular check the condition of the mold, promptly find the surface damage, and carry our maintenance. This can keep the mold’s processing accuracy and extend the service life of the mold.
3.3. Reasonable operation and proper storage
When using the mold. Strictly follow the operating procedures to avoid damage to the mold due to improper operation. At the same time, properly store the mold to prevent it from being affected by external factors such as impact or collision.
