Plastic HDPE Injection Molding Process Settings
Heating temperature:
Barrel temperature feeding zone 30～50°C (50°C)
Zone 1 160 ~ 250 ° C (200 ° C)
Zone 2 200 ~ 300 ° C (210 ° C)
Zone 3 220 ~ 300 ° C (230 ° C)
Zone 4 220 ~ 300 ° C (240 ° C)
District 5 220 ~ 300 ° C (240 ° C)
Nozzle 220 ~ 300 ° C (240 ° C)
The temperature in parentheses is recommended as the basic set value, the stroke utilization is 35% and 65%, and the ratio of module flow length to wall thickness is 50:1 to 100:1.
Melt temperature: 220 ~ 280 ° C
Barrel constant temperature: 220 ° C
Mold temperature: 20 ~ 60 ° C
Injection pressure: has good flow performance, avoiding excessive injection pressure of 80 ~ 140MPa (800 ~ 1400bar);
Except for some thin-walled packaging containers, it can reach 180MPa (1800bar)
Holding pressure: high shrinkage, it takes a long time to hold the product, dimensional accuracy is the key factor, about 30% to 60% of the injection pressure
Back pressure: 5 ~ 20MPa (50 ~ 200bar); where the back pressure is too low, it is easy to cause product weight and dispersion.
Injection speed: high injection speed is required for thin-walled packaging containers, and medium injection speeds are often suitable for other types of plastic products.
Screw speed: High screw speed (line speed 1.3m/s) is permissible, as long as the plasticizing process is completed before the end of the cooling time; the torque requirement of the screw is low.
Metering stroke: 0.5 ~ 4D (minimum ~ maximum); 4D metering stroke is very important to provide a long enough residence time for the melt
Residual material amount: 2~8mm, depending on metering stroke and screw diameter
Pre-drying: no need; if the storage conditions are not good, dry at 80 ° C for 1 h
Recovery rate: 100% recycling
Shrinkage: 1.2~2.5%; easy to twist; high degree of shrinkage; no shrinkage after 24h (shrinkage after molding)
Gate system: point gate; heated hot runner, insulated hot runner, inner casting sleeve; relatively small cross-sectional area, sufficient for thin section products
No special cleaning work is required for other machine materials during the machine shutdown period; PE temperature rise resistance
Barrel equipment: standard screw, standard three-stage screw; for packaging container products, mixing section and shear section geometry special (L: D = 25: 1), straight-through nozzle, check valve.
