Unbalanced parison filling (multi-cavity)

During the injection '2079851475616104457 production process, the product exhibits the quality defect of "Unbalanced parison filling (multi-cavity)". Specifically manifested as inconsistent parison filling among the cavities of a multi-cavity mold. This defect is relatively common when processing materials such as PET, PP, HDPE, and PS, and its occurrence conditions are usually related to unreasonable settings of injection pressure, parison temperature, blowing air pressure, and mold temperature. When the Unbalanced parison filling (multi-cavity) situation is severe, it will cause a series of chain-reaction quality defects in the product in terms of appearance, dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, etc., which not only reduces the usability and safety of the product, but also directly increases the scrap rate and production cost. Therefore, this problem requires systematic diagnosis and optimization from multiple dimensions, including material selection, the condition of the injection '2079851475616104457 machine, core rod, parison mold, blow mold, and transfer mechanism, as well as injection pressure, parison temperature, blowing air pressure, and mold temperature.

1. Unreasonable runner balance design. Unreasonable structural design or process layout is often the systemic root of the problem. Runner design defects causing uneven flow, unreasonable cooling water channel layout causing temperature differences, insufficient venting structures causing air entrapment, etc., are all fundamental problems that need to be solved with emphasis during the design and development stage. 2. Large temperature differences among the cavities. Temperature is the core factor affecting melt fluidity and viscosity. Setting the temperature too high will cause the melt viscosity to decrease, insufficient melt strength, and even thermal degradation; if the temperature is too low, the melt fluidity is poor and plasticization is insufficient, making it impossible to fill or mold smoothly. A reasonable temperature window should be optimally determined within the recommended range according to the melting characteristics and thermal stability of the material. In addition, insufficient overall coordination between parison wall thickness uniformity and transfer temperature control is also a factor that cannot be ignored; there are complex interactions and coupling relationships among the various process parameters, and the deviation of any single parameter may aggravate the degree of Unbalanced parison filling (multi-cavity) through chain effects. In terms of equipment maintenance, inadequate regular overhaul and accuracy confirmation of the injection '2079851475616104457 machine, core rod, parison mold, blow mold, and transfer mechanism cause the actual operating parameters of the equipment to deviate from the process requirements, which can also become a potential inducement of the Unbalanced parison filling (multi-cavity) problem.

1. Optimize the runner balance design. Optimization work must be based on an accurate diagnosis of the root cause of the problem, and blind attempts must be avoided. It is recommended to first determine the key influencing factors and their interactions through the process DOE test method or historical production data analysis, and then carry out targeted parameter optimization and structural improvement to achieve twice the result with half the effort. 2. Adjust the temperature of each cavity to be consistent. Optimization work must be based on an accurate diagnosis of the root cause of the problem, and blind attempts must be avoided. It is recommended to first determine the key influencing factors and their interactions through the process DOE test method or historical production data analysis, and then carry out targeted parameter optimization and structural improvement to achieve twice the result with half the effort. 3. Check the hot runner system. Inspection work should establish a standardized inspection checklist, clarifying the inspection items, technical standards, inspection frequency, and responsible persons. Key equipment components should be regularly disassembled to inspect the condition of hidden parts, and judgment should not be based solely on operating appearance. Inspection results should be recorded in detail and a trend analysis mechanism established to predict potential failures. In terms of material management, incoming inspection of raw materials and in-process inspection of work-in-progress should be strengthened, and the key performance indicators of PET, PP, HDPE, and PS should be strictly controlled to ensure the stability of molding quality from the source.

In summary, the causes of the "Unbalanced parison filling (multi-cavity)" problem can be attributed to the combined action of multiple factors such as unreasonable runner balance design and large temperature differences among the cavities. Solving this problem requires starting from aspects such as optimize the runner balance design and adjust the temperature of each cavity to be consistent, and adopting systematic governance measures. In actual production, it is recommended to establish a prevention and rapid response mechanism for this problem, achieving stable production and continuous improvement through parison wall thickness uniformity and transfer temperature control.
