To address the extrusion mold shut-off challenge, the solution involves precise mechanical modifications and specialized tools. Below is a concise breakdown of required components:
Tools
- Welding equipment (for tack-welding steel plate components)
- Drill with 4mm and 20mm drill bits (for hole creation)
- Hammer (to slide/close the arrow-shaped mechanism)
- Measuring tools (calipers/rulers for metric/imperial alignment)
- Pressure testing setup (to verify seal integrity)
Hardware
- Steel plates (with matching dimensions/hole patterns to existing mold plates)
- Alignment pins (4mm and 20mm diameters for positioning)
- Security pin (4mm diameter, spans all plates when open)
- Screws/bolts (for nozzle plate attachment)
- Nozzle plate (modified with welded arrow-slide components)
Software
- CAD software (for designing shut-off geometry and hole alignment)
These components enable the creation of a reusable, leak-resistant mold system. The process emphasizes precision in drilling (±0.5mm tolerance) and robust welding to withstand extrusion pressures exceeding 50 bar[1][3].
