Injection Moulding Hopper Clamping unit Screw & Barrel Nozzle
Clamping Pressure Calculated by multiplying the projected area of the cavity (cavities), including runner system by the maximum internal pressure (hold pressure).
Clamping Pressure • ABS 0.45 to 0.65T/cm2 • LCP 0.75 to 0.8T/cm2 • PA 0.65 to 0.75 T/cm2 • PBTP 0.65 to 0.75 T/cm2 • PC 0.5 to 0.8 T/cm2 • PE 0.15 to 0.55 T/cm2 • PETP 0.65to 0.75T/cm2 • PMMA 0.45 to 0.75 T/cm2 • POM 0.85 to 1 T/cm2 • PP 0.15 to 0.55 T/cm2 • PPS 0.3 to 0.6 T/cm2 • PS 0.3 to 0.5 T/cm2

Screw Tangential Speed-M/S • ABS 0.2 (GR,FR) - 0.3 • ETPV 0.2 • PA 0.15 (GR,FR) – 0.4 • PBTP 0.2 (GR,FR) – 0.3 • PC 0.2 (GR,FR) - 0.3 • PE 0.5 – 0.6 • PETP 0.15 (FR) – 0.20 • PMMA 0.2 (ST) – 0.3
Screw Tangential Speed-M/S • POM 0.15 (GR,ST) – 0.3 • PP 0.3 (GR) – 0.6 • PPA 0.15 • PPS 0.15 • PS 0.3 (HI) - 0.6 • PVC <0.1 • SAN 0.3 • TPC-ET <0.2 • TPUR <0.15
Screw Speed Calculation Beware: High speed = high heat (through shear). High speed = high abrasion with filled Materials. Beware: High back pressure increases shear (temperature) and cycle time but not necessary melt quality.
