Mold repair is the second most expensive budgetary item in a plastics molding facility, that statement should make everyone stop and pay attention. The only way to change that figure is to change the culture, and we all know that culture change is tough.

There is a cost associated with preventive maintenance: downtime of your machines and the manpower to perform the checks. However, this cost is virtually nonexistent when compared to the much higher cost of unexpected and potentially prolonged downtime, rejected parts and other hassles that hinder efficiency.

 

All moulding factories should have some form of mold maintenance program. Regular mould maintenance can help your mold to last longer, to run with less interruptions, and will save you time, money, and frustration in the long run.  

The amount and frequency of maintenance is determined by several factors as mould material, part material, mould complexity and number of cycle times of use.

 

We recommend several different levels of maintenance like:

• Preventative;

• Inspection;

• Curative.
