Is High Sprue Pressure Desirable In Injection Molding?

dtg-blogs-210

Advantages of High Sprue Pressure

  • Complete Filling: Higher sprue pressure can help ensure that the mold cavity is completely filled, especially in cases of complex or thin-walled parts.
  • Reduced Defects: It can reduce the likelihood of certain defects such as short shots (incomplete filling) and voids within the part.
  • Improved Surface Finish: Higher pressure can contribute to a better surface finish by ensuring the material flows smoothly and fills the mold uniformly.

Disadvantages of High Sprue Pressure

  • Flash: Excessive pressure can cause the molten material to leak out of the mold cavity, creating flash (excess material on the part edges).
  • Mold Wear and Tear: Higher pressures can lead to increased wear and tear on the mold, potentially reducing its lifespan.
  • Material Degradation: Some materials may degrade under high pressure, leading to reduced mechanical properties or poor appearance.
  • Increased Clamping Force: Higher injection pressures require greater clamping force to keep the mold closed, which can increase the overall stress on the molding equipment.

Balancing Sprue Pressure

  • Optimal Pressure: The goal is to find the optimal sprue pressure that ensures complete filling and desired part quality without causing defects or undue stress on the mold and machine.
  • Process Parameters: Sprue pressure should be balanced with other parameters like injection speed, temperature, and mold design to achieve the best results.
  • Material Considerations: Different materials have varying flow characteristics and may require adjustments to sprue pressure accordingly.

In summary, while high sprue pressure can be beneficial in certain situations, it must be carefully controlled and balanced with other process parameters to avoid potential drawbacks. The ideal sprue pressure depends on the specific requirements of the part being produced and the materials used.
