Continuous operation of the mold can lead to issues such as component wear, lubricant degradation, water leakage, and damage to the plastic parts caused by pressure; therefore, mold maintenance is required.
Routine mold maintenance includes the following aspects:
1. Periodic rust removal (exterior, parting lines, cavities, cores, etc.)
2. Periodic re-lubrication (ejection mechanisms, slides, etc.)
3. Periodic replacement of wear-prone parts (tie rods, bolts, etc.)
4. Other areas requiring attention
Maintenance involving the removal of the mold must be performed by professional maintenance personnel, who will carry out specialized testing and protective measures on components such as the mold cavities and ejector pins.
