We highly recommend performing services on moulds (just like servicing your vehicle once a year). We can receive the mould at our premises and undertaking the following:-

• Open mould and clean both halves with degreasing fluid;
• Strip off clamping plates, risers, ejector plates, springs and broken water connectors;
• Check wear on pillars and bushes, ejectors, sleeve ejectors, push back pins, springs, slides and wear plates
• Check condition of sprue bush, runners, gates, split lines and venting
• Check working of each hot runner nozzle and manifold
• Make a list of minor repairs like replacing worn ejectors, re-dressing of shut offs, opening venting channels, replacing water connectors, O-ring seals, and quote for labour and replacement parts.
• Replace all listed parts as ordered and clean mould parts from oil, grease, cutting fluid, mechanics blue, shavings and water
• Assemble mould using appropriate lubrication for all moving parts.
• Do a water flow pressure test and a hot runner/manifold heating test with a suitable controller.
• Run through the same preventative mould checklist before the mould is stored on the shelf.
