Hot Runner Cost Analysis Guide

The document discusses factors to consider in a hot runner cost analysis for injection molding. It outlines several parameters to examine such as material price, annual production quantity, mold life, and mold costs. The analysis calculates costs associated with additional material usage from runners, increased manufacturing costs from longer cycle times, and higher initial mold prices when determining the total cost and whether a hot runner system is justified.

Hot runner cost analysis expense

The hot runner cost anyalysis is one of the most important aspects to tell whether the hot runner system is used [Link] purpose for Hot runner cost analysis is for ensureing that using hot runner is [Link] the cost must contain all the expense. It is only when the cost isnt very too much then will customers consider the quality .Hot runner system adds to the cost of a mold, without question. They also help the enterprise save material, compare to other benefits, its never been too hard to justify the added expense of a hot runner-equipped mold fieldsin packaging applicationspipe fittinghouseusing etc.. But more frequently questioned is whether a hot runner makes sense for molding projects? For different type of moulding [Link] are folowing parameters: reliognal material price(/kg) yearly output(PCS/year) mould maufacture life(year) mould weight cavity amount injection cost(contains injection machine water fee and electricity fee. labor cost:salary ect. mould price injection cycle(s)

runner holding materials(kg) maitain fee(dollar/year)roughly equal to the mould cost muld price interest(%/year) Hot runner cost -plastic cost K1 (USD/1000PCS) [Link]-runner material K=1000AD+ (A-K)J/E*1000 A:original material price(USD/Kg) K:reused material price (USD/Kg) D:plastic product weight (Kg) E: cavity amount J: material weight that sticky in the runner(Kg)

[Link] using of runner material K=1000AD+KJ/E*1000 A:original material price(USD/Kg) D:plastic product weight (Kg) amount K:reused material price (USD/Kg) J: material weight that sticky in the runner (Kg) Reused material costs less but when the quality is required,then it is not allowed to use reused material such as package productsmedicine bottles ect because the quality will be lower .During the reused material injection,the differents can be too much for saving materials between cold runner and hot runner. E: cavity

Hot runner cost-manufacture costK2(USD/1000PCS) K1=1000(F+G)I/3600E E: cavity amount Finjecition cost(USD/h) G:human cost(usd/h) I:injection cycle(s)

Hot runner cost-mould cost K3(USD/1000PCS) K2=H/B(1/C+(L+M)/100)1000 B:yearly output C:mould using lifey) H:mould price(USD) L:mould maitain cost(%/y)

M:mould price intrest(%/y) So the total hot runner cost is:K=K1+K2+K3
