POOR TEXTURE OR ENGRAVING REPRODUCTION
Recommended Actions
Improper molding temperatures
• Increase the blow mold temperature.
• Increase the parison mold temperature.
• Increase the melt temperature.
• Verify the mold temperature controller is operating correctly.
• Increase core pin cooling.
Mold surfaces need cleaned or refurbished
• Clean the engraving.
• Sandblast/retexture the molds.
• Adjust engraving depth and width.
Improper blow pressure or timing
• Increase the air blow pressure.
• Increase the air blow delay.
• Clean/check all gaps in the core rod valve.
Poor venting
• Improve the blow mold's venting.
