Hi, just a simple question : are cycle times completely dependant on the cooling times?

As in, if i am getting complete, good quality products with maybe microscopic flash, or mark, can i still reduce cycle time? As in, is there any scope of reducing the cycle times, with the same machine, same chiller plant, and same screw. without changing the cooling times.

I kno cooling time can drastically affect my cycle time. But what i want ot know is, are there any other process parameters too, which i can change without affecting my Quality of parts?

can you please enlist a few?

The melt temperature developed by the plasticating unit can affect the cycle time. Lower temperature melt requires less cooling time.
