5 Machine maintenance
5.1 Cautions
In order to ensure the safety of the operator and give full play to the efficiency of the machine and
extend the life of the machine, when machine in use process, you must pay attention to the
following:

 In the absence of familiar with the machine the performance and operating procedures of the
machine which are not allowed to start the machine .operator must be trained and familiar
with the structure and properties of injection molding machines .
 In the absence of safety equipment to ensure good effective ,Do not start the machine .
 Don't contact some part of the sports, heating when the machine is running.
 In addition to the security mould, two people don’t operate a machine at the same time.
 No raw materials of screw or barrel should not be adopted with high screw speed ( 30 rev /

25
min once ).For raw material is full of screw groove , then have screw rotation speed increase
to the required value to avoid scratch screw or cylinder because of the idle speed is too high
or too long .
 It will take 3 minutes of heating cylinder from room temperature to the desired temperature,
the residual in the cylinder in the case of cold material to be incubated for 10 minutes before
starting the screw for feeding, in order to ensure residual cold material melt adequately to
avoid damage to the screw . Before barrel temperature of each molding process does not
reach the set temperature,the motor can not start pre-plastic , otherwise it will damage the
machine .
 The machine starts running when the temperature of cooling water rises 5 ℃ ~ 10 ℃ ( if
there is no water in cooler water ,you must fill with water ) turn cooler valve gradually and
adjust the amount of water ( usually cooling water rate takes 75 l / min or more ) ,ensure the
oil temperature to be below 55 °.
 Emphasis on machine lubrication, it must be executed strictly according to operational
requirements . In case of lack of oil operation , it will wear parts, in particular a connecting
rod and steel sleeve of clamping mechanism, if lack of oil may be bitten, and unable to
work .
 Electric heating coil in use, due to thermal expansion ,it may be loose, check regularly and
found abnormal, please be ready to tighten .
 To set ground wire, periodically check the insulation of the electrical components to avoid
electric shock.
 The machine used for the first time and without long-term , the first several minutes of idling
after oil pump starts.

cleaning oil filter ,the tank vent filter and back oil filter, replace the filter if necessary.
☆Every 2000 machine hours , transfer mold parts threaded rod lubrication, checking high
pressure hoses, replace if necessary .
☆5000 machine hours per day , replace hydraulic oil and the fuel tank vent filter .
☆25,000 machine hours per day , at the latest five years, according to the actual situation, replace
hydraulic cylinder seals, friction ring and the high pressure hose .

5.3 Lubrication
lubricating oil need add a thin oil and hydraulic oil , so as not to affect the lubricating effect .
Machinery lubrication points refer to the attacUPent for lubrication Fig.
The use of lubricants reference to the relevant attacUPents.
Centralized lubrication fixed quantitative system is controlled by the computer.
General Settings mold 30-50 times per refueling time , each about 10 seconds .

Note:

New machine lubrication pipe leak test after repair ,firstly you should trickle oil “by manual” for
each lubrication piping and lubrication point .

5.4 Cleaning of the barrel and screw

Caution !
It is necessary to clean up the barrel when new material is used.Normally it’s no need to clean up
the barrel until color change injection has amounted to 20-30times.You need to do partial or
complete cleaning depending on the contamination.
Cleaning including partial cleaning and complete cleaning.
If the product has got some dirt on the same locality of surface,you should clean nozzle hole and

28
seal surface of barrelhead.
The uneven and thin spots on the products indicate that there exist problems at the hopper entry
hole,screw,non-return valve on the nozzle.In this case ,the barrel should be cleaned up completely.

5.4.1 Partial cleaning

Even if screw had the process of self -cleaning ,the screw head and check ring which closes to the
back of nozzle are polluted by granular material and accumulated by residue of material.
If the residual material is non- sticky , it is usually concentrated for cleaning seals, nozzle holes
and the sealing surface of the cylinder head , meanwhile, checking the screw head .

Caution!

Wear protective gloves and goggles or mask during working.

5.4.2 Complete cleaning

If there is uneven moldings and subtle blemishes. These problems mainly occur in the feed area,
screw, check valve or cylinder head parts.
Which need complete cleaning!
Especially screw barrel and nozzle , the sealing surface between the screw and the screw head is a
very dangerous place .
The occurrence of these stains may be that sealing surface force is not enough or because of
thread lubricant leaking out excessively .

5.4.3 The preparation steps

If you must clean screw barrel , purge and remove in accordance with
section 4.6.
Note :
Cooling the screw barrel completely is not allowed. Extrude the residual
material from the nozzle opening as much as possible. Injection rate is
medium .

29
Cation !

You must wear protective masks and glasses during maintenance and
cleaning work ,especially for heating screw barrel !
If the molding process is complicated , difficult to clear , such as polyamide or polycarbonate ,
etc., on the barrel for cleaning. Then a material such as acrylic , polystyrene or polyethylene
plastic , for barrel cleaning. Check temperature of the screw before replacing the material if
possible, screw barrel should be performed by experienced personnel . If you need training ,
please contact our service department.
Cleaning the barrel maybe give off bad out poisonous gas that brings inconvenience to the
operator.
Some molding at high temperatures emits fog that will accelerate corrosion of parts of the
machine polishing .
for this reason , the cleaning area should be separated from the machine operating area .
Ventilation must be good.

5.4.4 Cleaning heating screw barrel

Caution!

If overheating the screw barrel , resulting gases forced out of the screw
from the barrel ( risk of injury ) .It is dangerous when material in the
barrel is not cleaned ( steps below ) .
☆ In the case of supervision , heat the removed cylinder with all of the
heating ring .
☆ Remove the nozzle and pull the plug after heating about 15minutes!
☆ In monitoring cases, re-heated screw barrel until it can turn the screw
gently.Material decomposition reaction was observed . To maintain
adequate ventilation .
☆ Remove the heating ring of cylinder head. Unscrew the cylinder
head .
☆ To help collect residual material ,extract screw after the screw
coupling constant between the template and the stop position.

30
☆ Reheat the barrel until the excess dissolved material flowing out from
the barrel wall.
☆ Wrap a wooden stick with cloth and scrape residual material.wrap the
wire brush with a layer of cloth in the same way,it is bigger 2mm than
barrel hole,clean the barrel with a flexible rotating shaft.Then polish
with gauze (grade 240-280) . Gauze should be wrapped around the
wire brush .

Note!

6.5 Section and maintenance of hydraulic oil and lubricant oil

6.5.1 Section and maintenance of hydraulic oil and lubricant oil

As the largest professional manufacturer and seller of injection molding machine,based on many
years of experience in this filed.it shows you their design and the latest technology of manufacture
by providing you with this kind of machine.
In order to use our plastic injection molding machines efficiently, more important is preventing or
reducing the use of reliable and high-performance hydraulic device hydraulic device which is out
of order.
On the other hand,what’s more,the use of hydraulic oil is very important for hydraulic pressure
and maintain it properly.
Experience has shown that :occurs in the majorities of hydraulic devices which result form
incorrect and improper use and maintenance of hydraulic oil.
Here we provided the information can help you to choose suitable hydraulic oil and lubricant
oil,test properly and maintain machine in order to reduce the fault and have the machine run
efficiently for long time.
6.5.2 Hydraulic oil
As the medium for power transmission,the hydraulic oil is used for lubricating the surfaces of
metals.Since the variety and higher performance of the hydraulic equipment,the requirement for
hydraulic oil is stricter.

6.5.2.1 Performance requirements for hydraulic oil


In general, hydraulic oil should:
(1)Flow freely under the working conditions;
(2)Form appropriate seal in the moving accessories;
(4)Have no physical or chemical changes while working;
(5)Anti-rust and anti-corrosion;
(6)Resist certain load and reduce the wear of moving components;
(7)Separate moisture, dirt and other foreign substances quickly while static;
(8)Suitable for sealing,etc.during the working;
(9)Fine resistance;

42
6.5.2.2 Type of hydraulic oil
Hydraulic oils can be classified into the following categories:

Low temperature oil


General type ( turbo RδO) wide temperature
Mineral oil wear-resisting hydraulic oil hydraulic oil

High precision energy


Hydraulic oil
saving hydraulic oil
Oil -water emulsion
Emulsion Water-in- oil
Moisture emulsion
hydraulic oil

Water ethanol type moisture fluid

Synthetic fluid Nitric ester(flame resisting hydraulic fluid)


Fatty acid hydraulic fluid ( waterproof )

6.5.2.2.1 Mineral hydraulic oil

The mineral hydraulic oil is the most one at present.according to different boiling points,the crude
oil with different viscosity can be produced.Therefore,this category is widely used,The crude oil
will have a variety of applications upon adding suitable additives.such as common hydraulic;wear
resisting hydraulic oil,wide temperature hydraulic oil,energy saving hydraulic oil etc.

6.5.2.2.2 The flame resisting hydraulic oil


The flame resisting hydraulic oil can be classified into two types roughly,one is with moisture and
other is synthetic oil .Moisture flame resisting hydraulic oil includes oil in water and water in oil
emulsions,water ethanol and high moisture hydraulic fluid.
The synthetic oil includes mono phosphate ester,fatty acid,etc,which are used under circumstances
where exists combustion hazard.
Generally speaking ,in terms of the lubricating quality,stability and sealing features,the flame
resisting hydraulic oil and the synthetic oil are not as good as mineral oils.please consult the
supplier concerning these two categories.
In the past ,the mineral hydraulic oil ws used fro lubricating injection-molding machines.Due to

43
the moisture and explosion risks,the flame resisting hydraulic oil has replaced it in the recent
years.Among types of the flame resisting hydraulic oil ,water ethanol hydraulic oil is highly
recommended by the fire deportment .In addition,this type of hydraulic oil becomes popular for
its convenient application and disposal.
The selection of hydraulic oil is mainly based on the viscosity, lubricating performance, the
oxidation stability;shear stability, flame resistance and its effect on the sealing material.

6.5.3 Selection of hydraulic oil

6.5.3.1 Select the type

The standards set forth in Table 2 is to choose the criteria used hydraulic oil , the use of hydraulic
equipment and the environment which will decide to choose mineral oil or non-combustible fluid ,
other factors must be considered include: types of hydraulic pumps and other devices , the use of
pressure and temperature , the quality of fluid lubricating, economy and Seal suitability of
material used etc.
Item Comment
Requirements for flame retardant Mineral oil, non-flammable fluid ( or oil )
The type of pump Adaptive viscosity

or other foreign material mixture
Limit of available pressure General use or wear oil
The risk of water mixture Common types and anti- milk and trademarks

Check lubrication considered Considering the type of oil and Trademarks

Economy Consider the life of oil (fluid ) and quality of


the finished product

6.5.3.2 Selections

As the hydraulic oil is the medium for power transmission, so the normal operation and fault
conditions listed in table 3 would help to identify if the viscosity of the hydraulic oil is suitable .
For that reason, appropriate viscosity must be selected to maximize the fit of the structure of
hydraulic equipment , the oil temperature and transmission pressure etc. to obtain high efficiency

44
and performance.

Table 3 fault caused by incorrect viscosity selection


When the viscosity is too high when the viscosity is too low
Increase the internal friction increase internal and external leakage
The opening and valve etc., increase the Increased pump slide
oil flow resistance
temperature rise Increased wear sliding parts
Not functioning smoothly Reduce the pressure of the hydraulic
system
Increase the pressure loss of hydraulic Reduce the working accuracy
system
Increase power consumption

6.5.3.3 Lubrication performance


One function of the hydraulic fluid acts as a lubricant , at higher pressure , faster hydraulic
equipment is developed , which is increasingly important . In many cases, the hydraulic oil pump
lubrication performance can be based on the amount of wear to judge : for reason is not only the
operating conditions of the hydraulic pump means the worst , but also the pressure of today's
equipment is rising trend has a direct effect on the pump , because increased contact pressure of
the pump lubricating surface and rise the temperature ,moreover ,it relates to some factors about
device configuration.

6.5.3.4 Other quality


In the choice of hydraulic oil , if the viscosity and lubricating properties of the oil is suitable for
use of the occasion , the general it might have no problem, but in order to be able to use the
hydraulic oil reliably and extend the life of equipment of the oil , it is necessary to consider the
following descriptive performance characteristics and quality .
(1)oxidation stability
Hydraulic oil oxidative stability affects the life of the oil directly , require less fuel tank and the
high speed running under a compact hydraulics ,it often leads to substantial increase in oil

45
temperature and heat can cause oxidation and deterioration of hydraulic oil .The result of
oxidation and deterioration accelerated formation of sludge , thus it affects the filters, valves and
other components of hydraulic circuit functions , hydraulics also increase corrosion and wear.
Hydraulic oil oxidation stability on the extent of the aid turbine oil oxidation stability test to
determine , the usual approach is not that simply based on the total oxidation plants to estimate
the volatility of the oil longevity , but according to the amount of sludge , because the tendency to
form an oxide sludge is considered as an important factor .
(2)Shear stability
High -viscosity hydraulic oils generally contain high-molecular additive or a lower viscosity
increase in volume flow point additive , and the pumps, valves and other parts of the shearing
action of hydraulic circuit may reduce the viscosity . Therefore, in order to maintain a suitable
viscosity range, it is necessary to select hydraulic oil of a characteristic with excellent shear
stability .
(3)inflaming retarding
Incombustibility mainly depends on the fluid components of hydraulic oil , table 4 lists hydraulic
fluid commercially available example of the results of fire tests.
(4)the effect of sealing material
According to the type of hydraulic oil , the seals and the materials of hydraulic device for use will
increase swell , harden or dissolve so that it results in leakage of hydraulic oil . Therefore, the
stability of oil for consideration is very important .
We have pointed out the selection of hydraulic oi should be noted that is the main performance
characteristics , other features including rust , moisture stability and resistance to emulsification
solutions and so on.
When selecting the type of oil , it is necessary to consider all of these performance characteristics.

6.5.4 Control and maintenance of hydraulic oil


Regardless of how the hydraulic oil is , if you don’t properly maintain and focus on , it will cause
damage. Therefore, we should establish certain procedures to maintain the oil itself
properly,machine operation and hydraulic equipment , please pay special attention to the
maintenance of hydraulic oil .
6.5.4.1 Hydraulic oil maintenance items
General maintenance items can be divided into the following three types :
(1)Hydraulic oil del impurities : judged by viscosity, total acid valve or color .
(2)Foreign material contamination :judged by to an important or using computational methods
(3) Appearance: mainly based on color to judge.
The last type of which is the simplest, but it may be not correct and may change the oil
prematurely and waste of money .
The following items will have greater practical value.
(1)Viscosity change
Viscosity is an important project of the maintenance. the changes of viscosity not only affect the

47
performance of the hydraulic system directly, but also their working life.
Oxidation deterioration caused by heat will increase the viscosity, and decrease in viscosity is due
to increase viscosity Index or decrease the flow point additives used, such as high molecular
weight substances caused by shearing , which is a special problem of high viscosity index
hydraulic oil . In addition,the cause of sudden changes in viscosity is which added in supply, used
the inappropriate types of oil.
(2)The increase in total acid value (after decrease)
Change in total acid base oil according to whether the change in the type of additives . But in
general , if the additive is present in a total loss of acid will be reduced over time , with the
intensification of oxidative deterioration occurs when the total acid value will rise. Although the
change in total acid value will increase as oil changes in the conditions of use , but it is best
regular to test total acid value .
(3)Moisture
It must pay special attention when you use mineral hydraulic oil. Thus ,water is mixed with the
emulsion ,harmful to the lubrication, causing rust and other problems and shorten the service life
of the hydraulic unit and the oil .
In severe cases, the presence of water can be perceived by the naked eye .
(4)Color
The color change of the hydraulic oil change with the viscosity of the oil and the type of additives
inside oil and quantity,it is necessary to compare it with new oil.generally,aggravated when
thermal oxidation or deterioration caused , its color tends to deeper . In working condition
inspection, the change is as simple guide .
(5)Contamination extent
When the hydraulic oil contains impurities , which are often detrimental to the performance and
reliability of the hydraulic unit . So the important part of the maintenance of preventing
contamination that commonly used to estimate the degree of pollution that there are two kinds
of methods :gravimetric and statistics .
a) In terms of weight: the amount of pollutants of conventional hydraulic equipment should be
more than 10 mg / 100 ml . In the numerical control equipment , it should be not more than 5 mg /
100 ml .
b) In terms of statistical : hydraulic equipment used in servo valves , the ideal oil maintenance to

48
keep pollution levels in the NAS segment 7 or higher.

(1)Oil level
Under the normal circumstances,the lowest oil level should not be below the middle of the oil
level gauge.If the oil level is below the midline,the machine must be shut down immediately for
adding oil.
The oil can be added form the inlet of the air filter and must be the same as in the oil tank.
(2)Oil temperature
When the oil temperature is too low, please begin production before the blank line of the machine
to make it appropriate heating . During normal operation , please also adjust the cold cutting
device to ensure that the hydraulic oil temperature does not exceed 55℃.When the hydraulic oil
overheats, the oil lubricating film is not as normal as covering , sealing materials will damage ,the
pump efficiency will be affected .
(3)Oil pressure
The oil pressure should be kept within the normal range.Too high or too low will cause bad

50
effects to the machine.
(4)Noise of the pump
The abnormal noises may come form the block in the filter,air absorbed into the oil,over high
viscosity of the oil or the foreign substances in the pump,etc.
(5)Leakage
Check connections,flange and hoses or leakage arising form the metamorphic sealing materials.

6.5.4.4 Maintenance of hydraulic equipment


It must be carry out inspection and replacement of hydraulic oil work carefully and
thoroughly,flushing work and so on.

6.5.4.4.1 Supply of filling the tank and add oil


(1) Please poured oil through the air filter . In the filling of oil , remove the cap and the cap , but
don’t put them on the factory floor , grain dust , filaments may stick to the place on the inner
surface .
(2) Since the inner diameter of the filler is about 50 mm, therefore , the 1.5 inch tube from the
supply pump is easily inserted to supplement the oil. The air cleaner has a 100 mesh filter , if it is
clogged , the oil flows out from the filter and spilled on the floor. please note that when you use
the oil feed pump. If you do not use the filter , remove the oil tank cap to join , please ensure that
the oil is not contaminated by foreign objects stick .
(3) Oil tank device of large machine, without the use of filter, please use at least 100 mesh filter
and ensure that device or pump for the hydraulic oil is completely clean. We recommend filling
the tank , using a flushing device .
(4) Not only in the tank filling machine for the first time, and when added with new oil supply,
you’d better consult the advice of the oil supplier,and get their help, because these companies are
willing to help you.
(5) After the exchange of hydraulic oil , leave it 3 to 5 hours prior to starting the pump motor so
that the air bubbles remove floating precipitate .

6.5.4.4.2. Periodic testing of oil properties

51
If the oil is dirty soiled or deterioration deterioration will shorten the life of the machine and may
malfunction. Therefore , it is necessary to test the oil periodically to detect a change in
performance . Strictly speaking, these tests should be carried out experiments in the oil company .
However, the user is possible to use visual inspection methods to understand the oil properties.
please take samples from the hydraulic oil tank after shutting down, because then the oil is
sufficiently stirred.
(1) The user can carry out testing
a) appearance test
To put samples of new oil and using oil into test tubes, compare their color, clarity, such as
precipitation of floater and the water sedimentation at the bottom of tube.
b)dropping test
Adopting this test method and comparing with the new oil can understand the oil properties.
Please a drop of oil in usage on the filter paper and study after 2 ~ 3 hours. If the oil is dirty or
bad, it will be observed pollutants easily .
(2) Oil company's qualitative and quantitative testing
If the above description of the two kinds of tests reveals the oil is not normal,on the basis of test
experiment of supplier,it is necessary for us do further test.
According to above two test results,service technicians of experienced of oil companies who can
make sure immediately that the oil should be exchanged by new or bring the samples back to their
laboratory for detailed testing to get the result.
(3) Periodic test cycle
Appearance or drip test by one day per month.
After if oil company exchange new oil for a month, 2 months and 3 months for qualitative and
quantitative testing, then every three months for the above tests. When buying new oil, it is
recommended that users sign special contracts about checking the oil with oil supplier.
(4) Limits on the use of hydraulic oil
To ensure limits on the use of hydraulic oil in the hydraulic device, judgment mainly based on
the following items listed .
Deterioration of the oil itself : According to the results of the test of above-mentioned qualitative
and quantitative , the oil company will decide whether the deterioration has been developed to the
point that oil must be changed .

52
Degree of pollution :we should make comments about the extent of oil pollution . Hydraulic
equipment must be maintained for the degree of oil pollution within the limits listed below ,
maintenance is particularly important,after oil is purchased and put into use after within 3
months .Frankly speaking, during this time it will determine the length of life of the hydraulic
unit ,

table:
Measurement methods Gravimetric method,Weight of the Statistical Methods

Note:As a result of statistical methods can only gather statistics particles of 5 microns or larger , and the

measured value of the repetition accuracy is poor, so number is only for reference.

6.5.4.4.3 Washing
(1) The purpose and procedures
The first, rinse off the metal particles , sand and dust may enter the fuel tank and pipes when
flushing machine manufacture, assembly or installation. The second , flushing of the hydraulic
device is used after a period of time , clean the device. We think you'd better ask the oil
company's maintenance specialists with their equipment in your plant rinse .
(2) In exchange oil flushing
Regardless of how the hydraulic oil is good , particles which other movable parts and the wear of
the pumps of hydraulic equipment will enter the oil after it is used a period of time, and the
deterioration of oil may cause the formation of sludge and dirt . Therefore, it is necessary to
change the oil , as mentioned the hydraulic oil is used correctly , it is generally believed that the
working life is about 2-3 years , once it begins to deteriorate , then the oil will useless. In this case,
not you should change oil but also we recommend that you wash equipment .
First,drain off the oil completely , then wipe oil tank with a sponge ,flush with oil as the same as
viscosity ,flush with a low pressure flushing device. It is possible to remove all metal particles of
worn devices and a variety of sludge and dirt with 4-8 hours washing . Of course, drain the oil as
far as possible after flushing .
(3) Flush when the old oil is polluted by water or chemical
Based on the above , when you decide to use special-purpose flushing oil , the user should consult

53
with oil company experts and our maintenance personnel to select oil of the correct type , to
decide how to carry out the work of washing equipment .

6.5.4.4.4 Maintenance
(1) select appropriate oil.
(2) check the status of the oil through regular tests
(3) The oil temperature is maintained in the appropriate range(45±5℃)
(4) Flushing equipment is required when exchanging new oil.

6.5.5 Lubricating oil and grease

6.5.5.1 Selection of lubricating oil


In addition to hydraulic oil, used lubricating oils include gear oils and grease the sliding surfaces .
In the selection of such oils ,please refer to the proposed type of oil and viscosity data ,it is
important to limit the type of oil used as little as possible . In this case, please refer to the
recommendation in chapter 3 .

6.5.5.2 Maintenance of lubricating oil
