Mould Doctor
FT Mould Doctor Principles
Mould Doctor is a system of mould treatment dealing with the following defects:
- process instability
- high scrap ratio
- non-optimal cooling or cycle time
- limited functionality
- fast wear of shape and functional mould parts
- non-optimal gate systems
- non-optimal cooling systems
- sags, cold joints, burnings, …
FT workers will inspect the problem moulds and mouldings at customer´s place.
Formy Tachov design and provide:
- process optimization and stabilization
- cycle time cut-down by 10 to 20 %
- increase of the moulding quality
- saving of material
- training engineers at mould handover
- cooperation, support and consultancy with Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid
FT Mould Doctor - case study
- Family mould – uneven filling of cavities
- cooling time – 36 sec, spots on surface, high scrap ratio
- optimal cooling time calculation (12 sec)
- Mould-Flow + balancing the gate system
- construction adjustment
- cooling process optimization
- fitting an additional heating jet
