Figure 13 High-conductivity sprue bushing
Mold/sprue cooling example
Figure 14 shows a part with inadequate cooling. Notice the long
sprue, with low draft and poor cooling. The part has poor cooling,
and there is an air poppet valve under the sprue. This design
resulted in extreme molding difficulties.
Figure 14 Inadequate cooling
Figure 15 shows suggested modifications to the mold. The
standard steel sprue bushing has been replaced with a shorter,
performance alloy sprue bushing. There is better cooling around
the sprue, and more cooling was added in the cavity and the
core. The air poppet valve was moved away from the sprue.
With these design modifications, the part was easily and
successfully molded.
Figure 15 Improved cooling
Hot sprues
Hot sprues can be used for amorphous copolyesters. As with
hot runners, the keys to proper design are low shear, good
cooling at the part or sprue/runner end, uniform heating, and
good temperature control.
Runner design
When designing runner systems, use the same guidelines that
apply to most engineering polymers. As shown in Figure 16,
the runners should be designed for smooth, fully balanced flow.
Generously radiused transitions reduce material hang-up and
shearing. Cold slug wells are useful in trapping slugs of frozen
material at the flow front. Vent the runners generously.
