During the operation, adjust the cooling water

volume; keep oil temperature below 55C . When
starting cooler, quick valve opening is forbidden,
for a large amount of cooling water flows through
the cooler, it could lead to poor heat transfer cold
layer. Even a large amount of water goes into the
cooler, good cooling effect is still not achievable.
8. The machine lubrication. According to
operational requirements, running in short of oil
would badly wear parts, especially mechanical
clamping rod and steel sleeve. Also it could invite
the seizing of part.
9. As to the connecting screw rod in barrels and
screws for plasticizing, for working under high
temperature, it needs to be coated with
heat-resistant grease (red lead or copper sulfide)
to avoid seizing.
10. The clamping platen of the injection machine
is with high precision; do not install plastic mold
with bad mounting surface and the poor
parallelism ,also bad screws is forbidden. All is to
avoid damage the platen and clamping unit.
11. Dont keep mold close over 10 minutes under
the clamping pressure to avoid the linkage pin
and steel sleeve to be short of the oil, which may
make the mold couldnt open.
12. Keep surface cleaning of moveable blocks.
13. in the end of each process:
stop hopper feeding by hand, the injection
seat retract and repeat pre-plastic feeding and
injections, inject the remaining material inside the
barrel as far as possible.
