SERVICE TIP

Extending Mold Life

By observing the following basic rules, it is possible to extend the life of a mold:

  • It is very important that all parts and mating surfaces are thoroughly cleaned before assembly
  • Be certain that parts are properly aligned and use correct torque requirements. To be sure that the parts are square, use a good working surface or a mold jig (example: Besser # 383208)
  • Visually inspect the parts to ensure that they are not burred or scored

Note: Always start with new lock washers and use only a brass hammer when assembling a mold.
