1. Injection pressure
Injection pressure is provided by hydraulic system of injection molding machine. Pressure of hydraulic cylinder is transmitted to injection molding melt through screw of injection molding machine. Plastic melt is driven by pressure and enters main channel of mold from nozzle, is injected into mold cavity through winding mouth. Pressure is to allow melt to be injected into cavity according to process and to ensure complete filling.2. Injection time
A reasonable injection time is helpful for filling of plastic melt, and injection time is generally about 1/10 of cooling time. It depends on different injection molding materials.3. Injection temperature
Injection temperature is an important factor affecting injection pressure. Injection temperature must be controlled within a reasonable range. If temperature is too low, plasticization of raw materials will be poor; if temperature is too high, raw materials will be easily decomposed. Therefore, temperature control needs to be reasonably controlled by experienced masters.4. Holding pressure and time
When injection molding is about to end, screw stops rotating, just pushes forward and enters pressure-holding stage. During pressure-holding process, nozzle constantly fills cavity with raw material melt to ensure integrity of product after molding. Holding pressure is generally about 80% of maximum filling pressure, which is determined according to requirements of actual raw materials and products.5. Back pressure
Back pressure refers to pressure that screw needs to overcome when screw is reversed and withdrawn to store material. High back pressure facilitates dispersion of pigments and melting of plastics.
