HDPE Die Buildup
Problem Phenomenon
HDPE extrusion die lip buildup, film has line marks
Cause Analysis
Low-molecular substances in the melt precipitate and accumulate at the die lip; during on-site troubleshooting, verify item by item according to this mechanism to avoid blindly adjusting the machine based solely on experience; this mechanism has been repeatedly verified by industry data and should be confirmed first during troubleshooting
Solution
Regularly clean the die lip; add PPA for improvement; screen raw material grades; after adjustment, continuously sample to verify the effect, and resume mass production only after confirming stability; change only one variable at a time and record parameter changes to facilitate locating effective measures
Key Takeaway
Die buildup is controlled by cleaning and PPA; after confirming effectiveness, solidify the parameters and practices into the work instruction to prevent recurrence; include this case in the defect archive as a reference for troubleshooting similar problems in the future
