Specific Process Knowledge/Back-end processing/Polymer Injection Molder/MoldTemp

Mold temperature setup

Injection moulding processes can be divided into two different types:

#Constant mould temperature processes

1. Variable mould temperature (Variotherm) processes

1. Constant mould temperature processes

In this type of process the mould remains at the same temperature during the entire injection moulding cycle. The temperature should not exceed the glass transition temperature of the polymer being used. Otherwise the polymer will never get cold enough to solidify to a degree where it can be demoulded without being deformed/damaged.
