When designing and manufacturing injection Bucket Mould, a common question we hear is "How much cooling time is needed in the injection mold?" The answer to the required cooling time depends on several factors, including processing parameters, materials used, and of course Part and mold design itself.

Molding parameters have a significant impact on the final performance of injection molded parts. The processing conditions that affect the geometry of the final part include temperature, filling parameters (clamping pressure and barrel size), cooling time, and injection speed. Each of these conditions plays a role in how the material solidifies and the cooling time required to meet part specifications.

The injection molding processor should work closely with mold designers to optimize mold design based on molding conditions. Although each polymer has its own specific properties, the resin will have a direct effect on cooling and shrinkage, and the molding conditions have a significant impact on the final material properties of any part design. The two most important molding parameters that affect polymer materials are melt temperature and mold temperature.

Skilled mold designers are proficient in various characteristics of polymer resins. In addition to material shrinkage, they will also consider specific molding process parameters when designing molds.
