How to set temperature value on the injection molding machine
Before do injection moulding, we have to set the temperature value on the computer.After set the value, then start the electric heating equipment.
First step：Set the injection molding temperature on computer
There are many differet plastic raw materials, say ABS,polycarbonate,polypropylene,hdpe,nylon. their barrel temperature injection molding valuce as below:
| Plastic name | Melting Point | Hot runner controllers | Nozzle Temperature | Middle zone Temperature | End Zone Temperature |
| ABS injection molding temperature | 110 | 50-80 | 190-250 | 180-240 | 170-240 |
| polycarbonate molding temperature | 150 | 80-99 | 250-320 | 260-340 | 280-350 |
| polypropylene molding temperature | 130 | 35-60 | 230-310 | 220-300 | 170-220 |
| hdpe injection molding temperature | 130 | 35-60 | 230-310 | 220-300 | 170-220 |
| nylon injection molding temperature | 265 | 50-80 | 250-280 | 240-280 | 220-280 |
| tpu injection molding temperature | 220 | 220 | 220-250 | 210-240 | 200-230 |
| pp injection molding temperature | 176 | 50-80 | 210-300 | 180-260 | 160-240 |
| pet injection molding temperature | 255 | 280 | 270-275 | 265-275 | 250-270 |
| pvc injection molding temperature | 90 | 10-60 | 170-220 | 160-295 | 150-195 |
| pmma injection molding temperature | 100 | 50-90 | 180-230 | 160-240 | 140-220 |
| pla injection molding temperature | 176 | 280 | 270-275 | 265-275 | 250-270 |
Second step：Start the heating equipment
Go in to the dialogue menu of setting temperature to set the temperature:press the "heating button",then begin to heat the screw barrel.At normal condition,it needs about 20 minutes to heat it to be the required temperature.Prohibit to operate the injection movement before the temperature meet the requirement.
