How Melt and Mold Temperatures Cooperate to Form a Final Product

A close up image of the screws that guide melted plastic into the plastic injection mold.

Experienced manufacturers are aware that certain conditions in the injection molding process have a large bearing on the properties of the final product. Two important elements in the process that weighs heavily upon a part’s performance requirements are proper melt and mold temperatures. In order to truly appreciate the collaboration of these two stages and how they produce higher qualities parts at a lower cost, let’s take a look at how melt and mold temperatures cooperate to form a final product.

The Importance of Cooling Time in Plastic Injection Molding

A worker operating an industrial plastic injection molding machine.

The more parts you produce in a given time, the lower your costs. While the injection molding cycle time is a major contributor to the overall performance of the bottom line of your company, it’s a process that should not be rushed. One integral component of injection molding – and one that takes up most of the cycle time – is cooling time. It has a major bearing on the quality of your final product, and it’s not an area where you can cut corners. In this blog, we’ll further dissect the importance of proper cooling time in plastic injection molding.
