Mold Maintenance: Extending Tool Life for Maximum ROI

Proper mold maintenance can extend tool life by 2-3 times, significantly improving return on investment. Best practices include: regular cleaning of cooling channels to prevent scale buildup, inspection of vent depths and gate condition, surface treatment reapplication when needed, and proper storage with rust protection. Preventive maintenance schedules should be based on cycle count: light maintenance every 10,000 cycles, medium at 50,000, and major overhaul at 100,000-200,000 cycles.
