    @jonathanheap2613 Місяць тому

    Flash could be caused by a lot. Over venting the mold, big shot size, barrel heates too high, or mold damage/tool damage. Shorts are usually just not a big enough shot but usually if you are short on one side and flasing on the other there is a problem with the mold or how the press is leveled.

    So after that semi confusing information you advise to not adjust backpressure? All that nonsense about 'drying the material' via the back pressure setting was just added confusing drivel too. Hygroscopic material needs to bd suitably prepared and conditioned pre moulding, end of. Backpressure is purely an adjustable parameter to ensure consistency in melt preparation. Multiple factors can add inconsistency, wear, polymer, additives and environmental changes. You should use scientific optimisation to determine the ideal backpressure for each and every product you trial/run. Once the process is optimised and passed IQ there is no reason to adjust backpressure (or anything else for that matter) as any defects witnessed at this stage during normal production will stem from an underlying issure that needs revolving NOT by adjusting machine settings. Setters/techs - Dont piss about with machine settings if production was running fine beforehand, examine route cause first. Only once everything has been tripple checked should you consider batch to batch material variation and make minute changes to settings while informing your process engineer.

      Andrew, I think we agree on this. We teach a scientific, systematic methodology to find the optimal BP. My stories are there to provide context from my mistakes early in my career. Over my years of instructing, I have found that some people need a direct to the point piece of information and some of us like a story or analogy to drive the point home. Us molders are a tight knit community, we have to pass on what we are learning to the next generation. Thank you for the feed back. - Jason

    Machinery manufacturers like to boost the recovery rates of their machines in terms of oz/second. Therefore they design their screws for maximum recovery. This can lead to unmelted resin, poor mixing with colorants….. Back pressure will certainly help this situation.

    I have been working in plastic for over 10 years and started from zero knowledge to working up to supervisor and now learning process more and more each day. I can say everything in this video is well explained and true in every way. These are the exact steps I take to prevent flash in almost every case when you can tell you are overpacking pressure and blowing the tool open. Obviously sometimes it can be from clogged venting and in "some" cases even injection speed can play a huge factor. But at the root of it all, you have to see how much material you are truly trying to push into a tool and where your cut off point needs to be. Your machines are a lot different than mine but also a great point to make is your shot cushion should not be your exact transfer point. There should always be a little "room for pressure" between the sprue break and the injection nozzle as to not cause a bonnet

    Hi and thanks so much for the great topic, I watched your webinar on this topic and it is excellent. I know my question is not that related to this video but I found no better place to ask from you, I'm trying to make a true picture of what the injection machine does and a ask you to clarify this for me if possible, "We know that the driving force in the injection machine is hydralic or electric motor, so when we enter a value for injecion rate or injection velocity in first stage or filling stage what the machine does to maintain the value we set for velocity is it exerts a pressure to see what the resulting velocity is and in a closed loop it sets different pressures to keep the velocity on the value we have entered". What I'm pointing is actually the velocity is a result of a profile of different pressures adjusted by machine to maintain our prefered velocity. Am I correct about this? Thank you.

    • @rjg
      @rjg 10 місяців тому

      Thank you for the kind words. On a hydraulic molding machine, there is a pressure limit that is set by the user. This pressure limit allows the machine to use up to that amount to achieve the flow rate. When an injection velocity is set, the hydraulic pump sees this as a certain gallons per minute. The pump will generate that GPM of hydraulic oil. The resistance of moving the screw and the plastic into the mold will start building up a dynamic pressure the further the mold is filled. The pressure limit is established 10-15 % higher than the required pressure under normal circumstances. I hope this clarifies your question.

      I always say 1-1/2 - 2x nothing less nothing more. Also the importance of bolt to heel ratio on clamps and heel thickness.. when I got to my place there was only one mold setter and he was only gunning the bolts in about 2/3rd of the thickness and he was sliding the clamps as far in as he can and not really paying attention to the thickness of the heel (always want it slightly more then the plate) and I had to explain that it's like a teeter totter and theirs not as much leverage that way. I'd take a clamp that's 2" on the plate over one that's 4" on the plate any day that way the distribution is more evenly and not just on the heel.

      that is unless if the platen holes are reallllly close to the plate like within 2 inches but 3-4 inches away just throw an extra on each side and use the toe even if it's on the flat side.
