Temperature, maximum, cold runner

The Temperature, maximum, cold runner result shows the maximum temperature across the cold runner temperature profile, calculated at the end of cooling time.

This profile is based on the average mold surface temperatures for the cycle (Temperature at surface, cold runner result).

Using this result

Use the Temperature, maximum, cold runner result plot to check that the polymer melt temperature is below the ejection temperature for the material at the end of cooling, so that the part can be ejected successfully.

Note: Solid plastic elements will normally take the longest to cool.

Things to look for

• Look for areas where the temperature is higher than the target temperature (that is, the ejection temperature).
