Hence, the maximum output can be programmed. In this way, it will not reach the point where over-running the mould affects the quality of the moulded rubber articles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extraordinary maintenance: <\/strong>If the company does not have a mould usage record, maintenance is even more important. In fact, it often happens that the operator suddenly (before starting the moulding cycle) realizes that the mould is no longer in the best condition and cannot be used due to the failure to maintain the mould life record. This kind of behavior can hinder production and cause dissatisfaction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preventive maintenance<\/strong>: In this case, the operator, at the end of the cycle, has the task of checking the condition of the mould, the center and the chrome plating layer. In this way, the mould is ready and fully prepared to produce quality mouldings when production re-starts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The best solution is to have a mould usage record in place to prevent, organize and manage the best output, avoiding the extraordinary and urgent maintenance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although good maintenance can extend the life of a mould. It is subjective and depends on multiple factors, so it is impossible to define an absolute life for a given mould. For example, it depends on the type of polymer, the cleaning method or the state of the chrome plating.<\/p>\n<p>How \u00a0best to maintain your own moulds?
