Filling Imbalance of PEEK Multi-Cavity Molds
Fenómeno del problema
The cavities of a PEEK multi-cavity mold are filled to different degrees — some cavities have short shots while others already have flash — and product weight differences are out of tolerance.
Análisis de la causa
Geometric imbalance of the runner system makes the filling resistance of each cavity different; PEEK's high viscosity is extremely sensitive to flow resistance differences, and tiny runner size deviations are amplified into obvious filling unevenness.
Solución
①Use a balanced runner layout or a hot runner balancing system; ②Correct runner size deviations; ③Use short shot tests to verify filling consistency of each cavity; ④Use independent valve gate control for each cavity if necessary.
Conclusión clave
PEEK multi-cavity molds must verify balance with short shot tests; the amplification effect of high-viscosity materials on geometric deviations requires higher runner machining precision; valve gates are the high-end solution.
