How to extend the service life of injection molding machine

Plasticized components of the injection molding machine, here refers to: ใช้ทาก "จำลอง" เพื่อสอดเข้าไปในปลายหัวฉีดเพื่อป้องกันการไหลที่แท้จริงของวัสดุ, melt barrel, rubber head, rubber ring, rubber gasket.

When the เครื่องฉีดขึ้นรูป is working, the plasticized components are like the wheels of a motor vehicle. As long as they are started, they will be subjected to pressure, impact, friction, and squeeze. For the same tire, driving on a flat road and operating by a skilled driver can often prolong the service life of the tire.

And when driving on uneven roads with lots of sand and gravel, coupled with frequent emergency braking actions, the pattern on the tire surface is quickly polished and scrapped.

ดังนั้น, to ensure that the injection molding machine is always in good condition, it is necessary to clarify the performance of the injection molding machine used, understand the performance and quality of the plastic materials used, and strengthen the management of the use of the injection molding machine to reduce failure rates, reduce maintenance costs, and extend The purpose of service life.

พูด, พูดแบบทั่วไป, พูดทั่วๆไป, the following aspects affect the service life of the plasticizing system of the injection molding machine:

ตัวอย่าง, the effect of mechanical wear:

Some modified plastics are added with minerals, glass fiber, metal powder, ฯลฯ. The existence of these materials will cause uniform mechanical wear on the screw, three small parts and the melt barrel during the plasticization and injection processing. The nitrided layer and chromium-plated layer can be polished away. After abrasion, the gap between the screw and the melt barrel is increased, which reduces the plasticizing effect, increases the leakage of the injection, reduces the injection efficiency, and reduces the processing accuracy.

ดังนั้น, in order to minimize wear and extend the service life of plasticized components, the temperature should be appropriately increased during processing and the screw speed should be reduced. The use of chrome plating or bimetallic solutions can more effectively prevent abrasion.Second, mechanical fatigue and overload work:

The adjusters habitually set low-temperature work and habitually set high-speed and high-pressure work, which gradually degrades the performance of the plasticized components. ตัวอย่างเช่น, when processing PC and PA plastics, when the temperature does not meet the requirements, the viscosity of the plastic is very large. If the sol action is forced at this time, the sol pressure and the sol torque must be increased, thus increasing the stress fatigue of the screw. ในเวลาเดียวกัน, because the viscosity of the plastic melt is very high at this time, the injection pressure and injection speed must be increased for injection molding, which increases the impact and load of the three small parts, and accelerates their wear and stress fracture.

ที่สาม, human factors (including operational errors or illegal operations, ฯลฯ):

1). When metal impurities are mixed in the plastic and enter the melt barrel together, due to the extrusion effect, the screw edges, grooves, rubber rings, rubber gaskets of the screw will be worn to different degrees, which will cause the injection molding process to be unstable and easy Produce black spots and black streaks;

2), artificially add wrong plastic, add high temperature plastic to the melt barrel set to low temperature, resulting in excessive torque of the screw during the sol, causing stress fatigue of the screw;

3) Cold start is a kind of anxious psychology and irresponsible work attitude. When the temperature of the sol cylinder has not reached the set required temperature or has just reached, the residual material in the barrel absorbs the heat from the heating ring to make the temperature higher, while the temperature of the inner layer is still very low. ดังนั้น, during cold start The screw torque is very large, causing stress fatigue on the screw. In severe cases, the screw will be twisted quickly, and the rubber head and rubber ring will be twisted.

Most of the metal impurities entering the sol cylinder are brought in with the crushed material. ดังนั้น, the breakage of the blade of the crusher should be checked frequently, and the blade should be replaced immediately if it is found to be worn.

ในทางกลับกัน, check and clean the magnets in the blanking hopper frequently. When the metal scraps adsorbed around the magnet are saturated, the adsorption force for the iron scraps on the outer layer will be weakened. Even if it is attracted, it will be easily washed away by the continuously flowing plastic and enter the sol cylinder together.

การควบคุมอุณหภูมิแม่พิมพ์อย่างแม่นยำเพื่อป้องกันการบิดงอ, correctly assemble, debug and replace parts:

This aspect is also very important. If the assembly of the sol barrel is not tight enough, the screw will touch the sol barrel when the sol or glue is injected, causing the screw or sol barrel to wear. ดังนั้น, the technical status of the equipment should be checked regularly, and attention should be paid to the abnormal phenomenon of the parts in the process.Fifth, damage caused by improper workmanship:

1) Long-term use of high back pressure sol can accelerate the wear of the three small plasticized parts. This situation generally occurs when toner is used. Since the toner is difficult to disperse, the method of increasing the back pressure is adopted.

2) For high-viscosity plastics, fast sol is used when sol is used to cause stress fatigue of the screw;

3) For high-temperature plastics, especially glass fiber-added plastics, high-speed sol method should not be used.

Sixth, chemical corrosion:

The corroded metal material is iron. Common corrosive plastics include: flame-retardant plastics, acidic plastics, PVC plastics, ฯลฯ. After the screw, melt barrel and flange are corroded, some pits are formed on the surface, and the surface is rough, which makes the flow resistance of the melt when the injection molding machine works.

Some materials are easy to adhere to the surface, causing decomposition and carbonization. Severe corrosion will increase the gap between the screw and the melt barrel, increase the leakage, and reduce the injection efficiency.

Whether it is a flame-retardant plastic or an acid glue, NS พลาสติก will decompose acid gas when processed at high temperature, and the plastic melt is easy to be carbonized and stick to the metal. ดังนั้น, on the one hand, the plasticized components should be made of stainless steel or surface chromium plating; หลังจากขยายตัว, low back pressure, low temperature and low shear processes should be used as much as possible in the production and processing to reduce the degradation of the plastic;

In the third aspect, due to the thermal sensitivity of the above plastics, too high temperature or too long heating time.it is easy to decompose, degrade and carbonize the plastics. ดังนั้น, the production process should avoid and reduce artificial shutdowns. If you need to stop the machine, you should lower the temperature first, close the material gate.And after the melt in the sol tube is finished, switch to PP or PS to clean the sol tube before stopping the machine.
