Troubleshooting

Parts stick in sprue or cavity

Return to Troubleshooting Guide (click here)

Possible Cause Possible Solution
Part is not sufficiently cooled. Reduce stock temperature.
Decrease second stage injection time.
Reduce injection pressure.
Reduce screw RPM.
Add decompression.
Increase overall cycle time.
Decrease mold temperature.
Mold design is incorrect. Seal nozzle correctly in sprue bushing.
Reduce length of sprue.
Increase draft on side walls of part
to assure smooth release.
Draw polish cavity surface in direction
of ejection.
Cores are too slender. Make cores stronger to prevent misalignment by the injection pressure
Overpacking problem. Reduce injection speed.
Back off transfer point.
Reduce pack/hold pressure.
