In plastic injection molding, the "gate size design" directly affects the product's flowability, cooling efficiency, and quality stability. This article will analyze how gate size influences volumetric flow rate and shear rate, and will provide examples and calculations.

The first step in evaluating a product's mold is selecting the gating system. The gating type will determine the subsequent mold type, layout, runner design, and mold opening method, among other things. What is gating? Gating refers to...

In plastic injection molding, if a side-entry gate type is used, a post-processing step of shearing the gate is necessary to separate the finished product from the runner. There are many ways to shear the gate, the most basic being manual breaking.
