Random copolymer polypropylene pipe special material (Nordic standard） extruded products die lines/lines（Variant: Mass Production Scenario）
Problem Phenomenon
Continuous lines or marks appear on the extrudate surface along the extrusion direction, at fixed positions.
Die lines affect product appearance, especially obvious in transparent products and films.In particular, during continuous mass production, this problem is more prominent and requires key attention.
Cause Analysis
（1）The die inner wall has scratches or damage\
（2）Impurities or carbides accumulate in the die\
（3）The die runner design is unreasonable, with stagnant material zones\
（4）The die joint is uneven\
（5）The breaker plate or filter screen is damaged, impurities pass through\
（6）In continuous mass production, process parameter fluctuations or equipment status changes aggravate this problem
Solution
（1）Disassemble the mold to check the die inner wall, scratches need grinding and polishing repair\
（2）Clean impurities and carbides in the die, use copper tools for cleaning to avoid damage\
（3）Optimize the die runner design, eliminate stagnant material dead corners\
（4）Grind the die joint flat, ensure no steps\
（5）Replace the breaker plate and filter screen, replace regularly to prevent damage\
（6）And establish standardized work instructions, paying special attention to parameter stability in continuous mass production
Key Takeaway
Die lines are caused by die inner wall damage or impurities, requiring regular cleaning and inspection of the die condition.Targeted preventive measures need to be taken in different production scenarios.
