Common Problems with Plastic Cores and How to Fix Them

Plastic cores can be an essential component of various manufacturing processes, however, they can also be the source of problems from time to time, problems that can result in a bit of a headache for businesses who rely on them to keep things running smoothly. Our company, Lianzhen, has this kind of experience. Everything from overheating to warping, we have seen and know how to deal with. Whether you’re a small shop or a large production shop, having the knowledge to recognize and correct common issues is more valuable than knowing what tools or woodworking machines are used to solve such problems

The Culprit and Cure to Overheating Plastic Cores

Plastic cores can sometimes get too hot during use. That can occur if they are made incorrectly or if they are used excessively without a break. When Plastic cores overheat, they can become damaged or fail to function properly. At Lianzhen, we would always suggest that you check the quality of the cores before buying and ensure that they get sufficient cooling time between uses

How to Avoid & Fix Warped Plastic Palettes Learn how to avoid and remedy warping in your plastic cores, so that they will keep their shape and serve you better

Warping is what occurs when the plastic cores fail to maintain their straightness and bend out of shape. This is bad because it means they will not function properly. To prevent this situation, you need to keep the cores at the proper temperature and not add too much pressure. If you find that a core has started to warp, try heating the piece up gradually to a safe temperature and cooling it down evenly. This could help to return it to its normal shape

How to identify delamination on plastic core, and how to repair

Delamination occurs when layers of the Plastic cores begin to separate. It appears as if the peeling or layers are coming apart. This erodes the centre and can lead to it breaking. One idea to repair this (you should test it out first) may be to use a special type of glue that works with plastic to reattach those layers

Solving the issues of uneven tension in plastic cores to enhance precision and quality

Plastic cores with disparate tension may not work correctly. This occurs when portions of the core are denser than others. To remedy this, you should measure the tension and bring it so it’s even all the way around. That could mean special tools or devices that can measure and set tension properly. Setting the tension correctly will help the plastic cores last longer and run better

Measures for prevention and solution of cored breakage to prolong the usage life of plastic cored

A broken core is a massive problem, because you halt everything and put in a new core when it breaks. You don’t want to get core fatigue, you need to wake the cores correctly and not stress them out. If it does break, though, you have to replace it with a decently strong, well-made new one. At Lianzhen, we ensure that all our Plastic cores are checked for strength and sturdiness, to make them less prone to breaking
