Solution
①Replace barrel with PE/PP before shutdown; ②Empty first few shots at restart; ③Long shutdown cool barrel and replace; after adjustment, continuously sample to verify the effect, and resume mass production only after confirming stability
Key Takeaway
PVC shutdown procedure same principle as POM; replacement and emptying is standard action, omitting it means batch accident; after confirming effectiveness, fix the parameters and practices into the work instruction to prevent recurrence
