In the world of plastic injection molding, mold quality directly impacts production efficiency and part consistency. Over time, molds experience wear and tear due to the high pressures, temperatures, and repeated cycles involved in the process. To keep production running smoothly, Texlon Plastics specializes in expert plastic injection mold repair, ensuring your molds remain in top condition and produce high-quality parts.

Why Mold Repair Matters

Plastic injection molds are a significant investment, and proper maintenance is crucial to extending their lifespan. Regular wear can lead to defects in molded parts, production downtime, and increased costs. With Texlon Plastics’ advanced mold repair services, manufacturers can restore worn molds, prevent defects, and maintain peak production efficiency.

Our Comprehensive Mold Repair Services

At Texlon Plastics, we offer a full range of mold repair solutions to keep your operation running at optimal performance. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair issues quickly, reducing costly downtime.

1. Cleaning and Polishing

Plastic residue, cooling fluids, and contaminants can build up on mold surfaces, leading to defective parts. We provide thorough cleaning and polishing services to restore mold surfaces and prevent defects.

2. Surface Damage Restoration

Scratches, dents, and pitting on mold surfaces can impact part quality. Our technicians polish, weld, or re-machine damaged areas to restore smooth, functional mold cavities.

3. Gate and Runner System Repairs

Gates and runners guide molten plastic into the mold cavity. Over time, they wear down or become clogged. We ensure proper reshaping and maintenance of these critical components to prevent flow issues.

4. Hot Runner System Servicing

For molds with hot runner systems, Texlon Plastics provides repairs and replacements for clogged manifolds, damaged nozzles, and failing heating elements, ensuring consistent plastic flow and temperature control.

5. Addressing Flash and Parting Line Wear

Worn parting lines can cause excess plastic (flash) on molded parts. Our team refinishes and re-machines sealing surfaces to maintain precision.

6. Cavity and Core Restoration

Mold cavities and cores must be flawless to ensure accurate part dimensions. We use welding, EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), and re-machining to restore these critical features.

7. Cooling System Maintenance

Efficient cooling is essential for proper cycle times and part quality. Texlon Plastics provides deep cleaning and re-boring of clogged cooling channels to improve heat dissipation.

8. Ejector Pin and Slide Component Replacement

Faulty ejector pins and slides can cause part ejection failures. Our experts replace and fine-tune these components for smooth operation.

9. Mold Alignment and Fitment Checks

Proper mold alignment prevents part defects and premature wear. We ensure mold halves fit correctly and make necessary adjustments for peak performance.
