PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Incomplete Fill Melt and/or mold
temperature too cold
Shot Size
• Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures
• Increase mold temperature
• Increase injection speed
• Increase pack and hold pressure
• Increase nozzle tip diameter
• Check thermocouples and heater bands
• Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents
