Auxiliary components support the core systems of the injection molding machine. Filters keep hydraulic oil and cooling water clean, cooling systems regulate oil and mold temperatures, and lubrication systems reduce friction on moving parts. While often overlooked, these components directly impact machine reliability and part quality.

Key Facts

Clogged oil filters increase system pressure and accelerate pump wear
Oil coolers prevent thermal degradation of hydraulic fluid
Automatic lubrication systems reduce manual maintenance and prevent dry-running bearings
Water filters and strainers protect mold cooling channels from blockage

Maintenance Tips

Replace hydraulic oil filters at every oil change or when the filter indicator triggers. Clean oil cooler fins monthly in dusty environments. Check lubrication pump reservoir levels weekly. Flush cooling water circuits seasonally to prevent scale buildup.
