Excessive cooling of the core rod

Problem Phenomenon
During the injection '2079851475616104457 production process, the product exhibits the quality defect of "Excessive cooling of the core rod". Specifically manifested as the core rod temperature being too low, causing the outer layer of the parison to be too cold. This defect is relatively common when processing materials such as PET, PP, HDPE, and PS, and its occurrence conditions are usually related to unreasonable settings of injection pressure, parison temperature, blowing air pressure, and mold temperature. When the Excessive cooling of the core rod situation is severe, it will cause a series of chain-reaction quality defects in the product in terms of appearance, dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, etc., which not only reduces the usability and safety of the product, but also directly increases the scrap rate and production cost. Therefore, this problem requires systematic diagnosis and optimization from multiple dimensions, including material selection, the condition of the injection '2079851475616104457 machine, core rod, parison mold, blow mold, and transfer mechanism, as well as injection pressure, parison temperature, blowing air pressure, and mold temperature.
Cause Analysis
1. Core rod cooling medium temperature too low or flow too large. Temperature is the core factor affecting melt fluidity and viscosity. Setting the temperature too high will cause the melt viscosity to decrease, insufficient melt strength, and even thermal degradation; if the temperature is too low, the melt fluidity is poor and plasticization is insufficient, making it impossible to fill or mold smoothly. A reasonable temperature window should be optimally determined within the recommended range according to the melting characteristics and thermal stability of the material. In addition, insufficient overall coordination between parison wall thickness uniformity and transfer temperature control is also a factor that cannot be ignored; there are complex interactions and coupling relationships among the various process parameters, and the deviation of any single parameter may aggravate the degree of Excessive cooling of the core rod through chain effects.
Solution
1. Appropriately increase the cooling medium temperature or reduce the flow. When implementing adjustments, it is recommended to adopt the single-factor variable method, adjusting only one parameter at a time and fully evaluating the effect, to avoid multiple parameters changing simultaneously making the cause of the problem untraceable. The adjustment magnitude should be small rather than large; each adjustment is recommended to be controlled within 5%~10% of the original value, and after adjustment, run stably for at least 3~5 mold cycles to observe the effect. 2. Optimize the core rod temperature control strategy. Optimization work must be based on an accurate diagnosis of the root cause of the problem, and blind attempts must be avoided. It is recommended to first determine the key influencing factors and their interactions through the process DOE test method or historical production data analysis, and then carry out targeted parameter optimization and structural improvement to achieve twice the result with half the effort. It is recommended to formulate a preventive checklist for the Excessive cooling of the core rod problem, incorporate parison wall thickness uniformity and transfer temperature control into the scope of daily inspections, and conduct online monitoring of key parameters through the SPC statistical process control method to achieve early warning and rapid response to problems. In terms of material management, incoming inspection of raw materials and in-process inspection of work-in-progress should be strengthened, and the key performance indicators of PET, PP, HDPE, and PS should be strictly controlled to ensure the stability of molding quality from the source.
Key Takeaway
In summary, the causes of the "Excessive cooling of the core rod" problem can be attributed to the combined action of multiple factors such as core rod cooling medium temperature too low or flow too large. Solving this problem requires starting from aspects such as appropriately increase the cooling medium temperature or reduce the flow and optimize the core rod temperature control strategy, and adopting systematic governance measures. In actual production, it is recommended to establish a prevention and rapid response mechanism for this problem, achieving stable production and continuous improvement through parison wall thickness uniformity and transfer temperature control.
