What is the influence of mold on silicone products?
Nov 17, 2022
As a silica gel product manufacturer, the mold is also the main trunk line of production power, which often affects the molding products, and the reasons for long-term unstable production can also be found in the mold. Some time ago, our company produced a relatively large quantity of sealed waterproof ring but long-term size instability phenomenon. In the early mold test, we found that the same mold products, the size of each hole are far from each other. The difference is even nearly 1mm, and the results are different for each module. This makes me think that in addition to finding problems in the production process, we should also find problems in the mold.
First of all, there may be some uneven phenomenon on the machine template, which leads to the mold is not parallel, and the products produced are inclined, which leads to different sizes. Therefore, according to the principle of cleaning the plane in the mold test, the product is found to be much better, the difference is about 0.5mm, but it is not completely improved. However, after the mold is sprayed with two kinds of mixed sand to meet the flatness requirements, many products also meet the qualified requirements. It can be concluded that the mold has a great impact on the size and performance changes of the product in the production process of silica gel molding, such as surface smoothness and mold exhaust groove. Core precision requirements and so on have a great relationship.
