To prevent flashing, restart the machine using a reduced shot size and gradually increase it back to the original shot size.
A worn or contaminated check ring can limit the machine's ability to hold pressure and maintain a cushion.
The sealing capability of the check ring should be verified by observing the machine's ability to maintain a cushion position.

In some injection molding
machines, the injection rate can be adjusted by
means of a gas pressure accumulator.
Structural foam
molding machines (Figure 1) are equipped with a
plasticizing extruder and a separate transfer cylinder
for quicker injection.
ADDITION LEVELS OF FOAMING AGENTS
Both the foaming agent and the thermoplastic resins
are metered into the injection molding machine.
