Heat & Cool molding
Heat and Cool Molding: Precision Engineering at Its Best
Bigmate Philippines excels in heat and cool molding, delivering precise, durable thermoplastic parts with intricate designs using advanced technology and expertise.
Heat Phase
Mold Pre-Heating
- Steam Injection: Steam heats the mold to over 100°C, helping plastic fill the mold completely and reducing defects.
- Better Flow: The heat makes the plastic flow smoothly, ensuring even filling.
Improving Plastic Flow
- Easier Molding: A hot mold lowers plastic viscosity, allowing it to reach all areas.
- Smoother Surface: Higher temperatures reduce defects like sink marks and weld lines.
Thermal Management
- Stable Heating: Keeping the mold at a steady temperature ensures consistent results.
- Energy Efficiency: Insulation helps retain heat, reducing reheating time and saving energy.
Cool Phase
Mold Cooling
- Cooling Channels: These channels carry coolant (like water or oil) through the mold to pull heat away from the plastic.
- Controlled Cooling: The cooling is carefully managed to ensure the mold cools evenly, preventing defects.
Solidification
- Temperature Reduction: The coolant lowers the mold’s temperature, causing the plastic to harden and take the mold’s shape.
- Cooling Time: The time it takes to cool and harden the plastic depends on the thickness of the part and the material used.
Cooling Monitoring
- Temperature Monitoring: Sensors track the temperature of both the mold and plastic to ensure even cooling.
- System Adjustment: The cooling system adjusts based on temperature readings to maintain consistent cooling, resulting in high-quality parts.
