3.3 Quickly decomposed plastic
Some kinds of plastic, such as poly-toluene PVC, can be caused to decompose and explode after
being heated long time.
Rules of keeping accident away:
Process various plastic strictly according to their characteristic and processing requirement,
especially, the processing temperature of barrel and stay time in the barrel.
Shorten the material’stay time in the barrel if the machine is sensitive to heat.In case of intermit of
injection operation or change processing material, clean the barrel with polyethylene (PP)or PE
etc, and then stop heating.
3.4 Cautions
The area is clamp unit between fixed platen and moving platen. because the machine can bring
the largest clamp force, and make person extrusion if you put your hand or body into there.
Nozzle unit. During the machine working, the nozzle has brought about hotter temperature and
spray hotter plastic material melted to make scald.
Injection barrel unit. the barrel surface is very hotter and the heating band terminal is living
electricity during the machine running, so it makes scald and get an electric shock.

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.
26
☆ If heating ring looses or disconnects.
☆Nozzle temperature control of the " 0 " .
☆The electrical switches, especially safety door and emergency stop switch.
☆Mold fixing screws.
☆Circulating cooling water supply .
☆Hydraulic oil tank oil level .
☆Check oil line pipe joints of lubricating oil tank, each lubrication point whether there is
oil leakage .
27
☆Various pressure tubing and fittings for leaks .
☆Observe whether the hydraulic oil is dirty every three months and consider renewal oil,
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 .
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.
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!
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 .
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.
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!
Caution!
Note !
Caution !
When dealing with the screw , to avoid being hit cracks ( there is the
danger of broken screw)
Any resident material left on the screw, bake it with low fire to
remove . We recommend using propane flame gun .
31
Note !
Do not have the screw produce annealed. Please be very careful when
using a flame gun .

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
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 ,

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.
