Injection Molding.

How does mineral scaling impact Injection Molding?

An online search for this question will yield over 5 million results. The severity of mineral buildup in molding equipment wreak havoc on water flow, maintenance and overall production efficiencies. 1/16 inch of mineral scale build up in steel components equates to 3-5 inches of heat-transfer resistance. Plastics Technology quotes scale build up as: “The Silent Enemy of Cooling Performance”

Creating plastic related components demand a huge amount of heat transfers with subsequent water-cooling. This cooling process pulls mineral out of a water supply where they adhere to everything. Typically, scale-consuming chemicals are used for their aggressive ability to quickly strip away scale buildup. Chemicals are very efficient at descaling surfaces and also very good at unintentional surface etching; destroying equipment in the process. These descaling chemicals are flushed out of equipment with clean water and back into the natural world water-life-cycle.

A pharmaceutical company uses the mineral descaling technology to solve their scaling and rust issues.

Using acid injection, water softening or scale inhibitor injection to descale moulding equipment has to be the best answer, right?


The relative cost for a container of mineral descaling chemicals is relatively low but considering as little as 1/16 inch of scale buildup is equal to 3-5 inches of wasted heat-transfer, wasted energy consumption, wasted downtime, labor cost to dismantle equipment for cleaning, and the list goes on. Surely, it makes more sense to use technology that prevents scale deposits in the first place?
