• Check settings
• Inspect thermocouple
Sticking in Mold
Overfilled cavity
• Decrease injection rate and pressure
• Decrease hold pressure
• Decrease cooling time
Part too hot
• Decrease barrel temperature
• Increase cooling time
• Increase draft angle
• Polish cores in direction of ejection
Black Specks
Contamination • Purge machine
Degradation
• Reduce melt temperature
• Reduce screw speed
• Reduce back pressure
Machine related • Check for wear on screw, barrel or check ring
Delamination
• Purge barrel to eliminate material contamination
• Reduce sharp corners in material flow path
• Increase venting
Discoloration
Oversheared material
• Decrease melt temperature
• Reduce residence time
Mold design • Increase gate sizing
Dry material
• Check moisture of material to ensure it is within the
recommended moisture percentage for molding
