Addressing Common Issues in Injection Molding Machines
Injection molding machines are essential in the manufacturing process, yet they frequently face minor issues that can disrupt production efficiency and impact overall profitability. To assist manufacturers in troubleshooting these challenges, a comprehensive overview of common problems related to the screw mechanism has been compiled, along with relevant solutions.
| Symptom | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Cutting | Screw break | Replace with a new screw |
| Hopper rack "bridge" formation | Remove the "bridge" blockage | |
| Excessively high feed section temperature | Adjust the feed section temperature for optimal flow | |
| Oversized crushed material | Re-crush the material and modify the feed inlet design | |
| Product Yellowing with Black Spots | Worn screw tube | Replace the screw or tube based on wear assessment |
| Dead angle in screw assembly | Replace with a specialized screw or additional components | |
| Carbonization of the screw from raw material | Use a screw made from more corrosion-resistant material | |
| Small nozzle hole | Redrill the nozzle to a larger size | |
| Excessive screw compression ratio | Change to a screw with an appropriate compression ratio | |
| High screw temperature | Implement cooling measures for the screw core | |
| Poor Plasticization | Incomplete melting of raw material | Increase the temperature of the barrel and use a different screw |
| Uneven Color Mixing | Ineffective mixing by the screw | Use a high-efficiency mixing screw |
| Unstable Glue End | Large gap between left and right aprons | Replace with aprons that have smaller clearances |
| Poor matching of rubber ring and meson | Ensure proper dimensions and alignment of components | |
| Excessive gap between apron and tube | Replace worn parts as necessary | |
| Leakage at Feed Pipe and Flange | Loose connection between tube and flange | Adjust the length of the stops for a tighter fit |
| Non-vertical end face of flange | Rework to ensure vertical alignment | |
| Insufficient strength of screw or tube | Use stronger screws and adjustable material tubes | |
| Screw Backlash Issues | High feed section temperature; oversized crushed material; excessive shell pressure; improper feed section setup; small screw barrel gap | Optimize parameters, re-crush materials, replace screws, and redesign feed port |
| Bubbles in Products | Low back pressure; small compression ratio; slow injection speed; low mold temperature | Adjust process parameters and select a screw with a larger compression ratio |
| Abnormal Noise from Screw | Improper assembly of the material pipe; incorrect barrel material size; small screw diameter; poor screw straightness; inadequate screw discharge design; foreign debris in the barrel | Verify assembly, remove foreign objects, and ensure smooth structure of raw materials |
While the issues faced by injection molding machines may seem minor, they can significantly affect production efficiency and economic outcomes. By understanding the symptoms, causes, and effective solutions, manufacturers can proactively address these challenges, ensuring smoother operations and improved product quality. Regular maintenance and prompt troubleshooting are key to maintaining optimal performance in injection molding processes.
