Extrusion Mold FAQ
What maintenance is required for extrusion molds?
Regular maintenance is crucial for extrusion mold longevity. We recommend daily cleaning of mold surfaces, weekly inspection of wear parts, and monthly comprehensive maintenance including lubrication of moving components. Proper storage in controlled environments when not in use prevents corrosion. Our technical team provides detailed maintenance schedules specific to each mold type.
How do I choose the right extrusion mold material for my application?
Material selection depends on several factors: the processed material (plastic, aluminum, rubber), production volume, and required precision. For high-volume plastic extrusion, H13 tool steel offers excellent durability. Aluminum extrusion typically uses carbide inserts for wear resistance. Contact our engineers for personalized recommendations based on your specific requirements and budget considerations.
What are the signs that an extrusion mold needs replacement?
Key indicators include dimensional inconsistency in products (beyond acceptable tolerances), visible wear on critical surfaces, increased production defects (like surface imperfections), and reduced production efficiency (higher energy consumption or slower speeds). Regular performance monitoring helps identify these signs early. Our team offers refurbishment options when possible, or can guide you through selecting a replacement extrusion mold.
Extrusion Mold Application Guide
To maximize the performance of your extrusion mold, consider these operational best practices:
- Gradual heating to operational temperature (typically 20-30°C per hour)
- Consistent material feed rates matching mold specifications
- Regular monitoring of product dimensions and surface quality
- Proper alignment of downstream equipment to prevent stress on the mold
- Use of recommended release agents when applicable
