METHOD FOR OPERATING AN INJECTION-MOULDING MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating an injection-moulding machine, having at least one plasticization device (2, 3) with at least one plasticization screw (3) which can be driven in rotation about a screw longitudinal axis (5) and so as to be movable in translation along the screw longitudinal axis (5), wherein, by way of the plasticization device (2, 3), a plastics melt (14) for injection into a mould cavity is provided in a screw antechamber (9), wherein, for the injection of the plastics melt (14) into the mould cavity, that is to say at least during an injection phase and during a follow-up pressure phase, the plasticization screw (3) is driven both in translation and in rotation by way of at least one drive device, wherein the driving of the plasticization screw (3) in rotation is performed with a rotational speed (nscr) such that a backflow (mdruck) of the melt from the screw antechamber (9) back into screw flights (71) of the plasticization screw (3) owing to a translational injection movement of the plasticization screw (3) has superposed on it an opposing delivery flow (mschlepp) effected by way of the rotation of the plasticization screw (3), wherein a flow difference (mΔ) between backflow (mdruck) and opposing delivery flow (mschlepp) arises, and the flow difference (mΔ) is, at least during the injection phase, influenced by influencing of the rotational speed (nscr) of the plasticization screw (3), and the method is performed without using a backflow preventer.
