FOUR MAIN PLASTIC VARIABLES
Flow Rate
Plastics are a non-Newtonian fluid, therefore,
with a higher shear rate, the viscosity of the
material is reduced .
This will
result in stronger parts due to the locked in

Minimize Cycle Time
• Mold Open/Close – Should be as fast as
possible, without slamming, and still
produce a nice fluid motion
• Ejector Speed – As fast as possible, without
influencing part quality
• Ejector Stroke – Only stroke the ejectors as
many times as needed to separate the part
from the core
