October 2019
As September transitions to October many stores are gearing up for Halloween. They have displayed
costumes, treats, and yard decorations and ornaments for the people to purchase. It seems like it is getting
earlier and earlier; however, that is another story for another day. They are in hopes that the consumer will
buy early and often until the end of October. In a few weeks we will answer our doors to small ghosts and
goblins so they can “scare” us into giving them treats.
In plastic injection molding, what scares us, is having a mold that “blows out” or has a catastrophic failure that
results in plastic melt going everywhere except inside the mold. Even when using proper operation and
maintenance procedures, you still may experience one of these scary events. While you may not be able to
eliminate these, you can mitigate some of the effects by having a good supply of spare parts on your shelf.
Mr. Murphy will visit your operation at the most in-opportune time, usually late on Friday on a tool that needs
to run all weekend. We do keep a good stock of standard parts that we can ship 1-day ARO if needed. It is
always a good idea for you to keep some spare parts like springs, seal rings and such on your shelf for
repairing tools and getting them back in the molding machine making parts.
Now is a good time to start planning for any tool maintenance or refurbishment projects during the Christmas
shutdown. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or requests .
Until next month; be safe, do not get scared, and keep making good parts.
