EEA Product Elliptical Deformation
Problem Phenomenon
EEA round products have ovality >1.03 after demolding
Cause Analysis
Asymmetric demolding force, product deformed by lateral force; uneven cooling, different shrinkage in each direction
Solution
1) Uniform ejection design, 8-point ejection to avoid lateral force; 2) Annular uniform cooling; 3) Extend cooling time for full setting
Key Takeaway
Elliptical deformation is caused by asymmetric demolding force; uniform ejection is key
