Premature gate freezing in PVA '2079851475616104452
Problem Phenomenon
The gate of PVA injection molded products freezes within 0.5-1s of the holding stage, holding pressure cannot be transmitted, product shrinkage severe
Cause Analysis
Gate size too small, diameter <1mm, causing rapid freezing; injection temperature too low; mold temperature too low, accelerating gate cooling
Solution
1) Increase gate diameter to 1.5-2mm; 2) Increase injection temperature to 140-200°C; 3) Increase mold temperature to 40-50°C to delay gate freezing; 4) Holding pressure decayed in steps rather than suddenly released
Key Takeaway
Premature gate freezing is caused by small gate and low temperature; enlarging the gate and raising temperature are fundamental measures
