PART VOLUME TOO LOW

Recommended Actions

Part weight too high Mold too hot Melt temperature too high Cycle time too short Mold volume incorrect Volume-reducing insert installed Air blow pressure too low Part storage area too warm Pigment loading, pigment type, or lack of pigment. Possible Solutions • Increase part weight/wall thickness • Increase mold temperature • Reduce cycle time • Resize mold • Install volume-reducing insert • Reduce air blow pressure • Heat storage area • Verify pigment loading, or color-to-color master batch composition • Reduce part weight/wall thickness • Reduce mold temperature • Improve cooling • Reduce melt temperature gradually • Increase cycle time • Resize mold • Remove or install lesser volume-reducing insert • Increase air blow pressure • Cool storage area or reduce storage time • Verify pigment loading, or color-to-color master batch composition
