  • Holding pressure in plastic injection molding

    Holding Pressure Setting   (1) The Significance of Pressure Holding/Pack After the mold cavity is filled, holding pressure is applied to compensate for resin shrinkage caused by cooling. Appropriate holding pressure and holding time will be maintained to push the mold screw, to continue injecting molten resin into the cavity. Holding pressure has a great…
