Mold maintenance is crucial for ensuring stable production. During production, molds should be regularly inspected for wear, cracks, loosening, etc., and any damaged or loose parts should be repaired or replaced promptly to prevent further malfunctions.
After each production run, the mold surface should be thoroughly cleaned to remove plastic residue, oil, and metal shavings. Lubricating oil should be applied to moving parts to ensure smooth operation. For molds that are to be stored for extended periods, they should be sprayed with rust-preventive oil and properly stored in dustproof packaging.
A standardized maintenance system should be established, with primary maintenance, secondary maintenance, and overhaul plans scheduled according to the frequency of mold use. Key dimensions and wear conditions of parts should be regularly inspected. Scientific and standardized maintenance not only extends mold life but also reduces downtime, improves production efficiency, and creates greater economic value for the enterprise.
