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
