Moldflow Solutions for Domestic Appliance OEM's
Aesthetics are a key attribute of successful domestic appliance moulding. Moldflow has the ability to highlight most quality related problems including: - high fill pressure, short shots, weld lines, gas traps, high gate shear, poor
cooling, long cycle times and distortion.

Capability:
- Fill time - Injection pressure - Pressure at transfer - Melt-front temperature - Bulk temperature - Weld lines - Air traps - Shear rate / Shear stress
|
- Volumetric shrinkage - Pressures - Temperatures - Velocity - Freeze times - Accurate clamp force prediction
|
- Cavity surface temperature distribution - Distribution of temperature differences across opposite surfaces of the cavity - Distribution of average plastic temperature at ejection time - Distribution of maximum plastic temperature at ejection time - Relative position of the peak temperature at ejection time - Distribution of frozen layer thickness - Temperature profile through thickness for each cavity element
|
- Surface temperature distribution on both sides of inserts and
parting planes - Distribution of temperature difference across insert and joint line surfaces - Temperature of mold external surfaces and surface of cooling circuits - Pressure drop along each cooling circuit - Variation in coolant temperature through each cooling circuit - Flow rate in each cooling circuit - Reynolds number in each cooling circuit
