Benefits of summer maintenance for injection molding machines: prepare your production for the rest of the year
The summer season is a period of planned shutdowns, holidays and lower production load in many manufacturing companies. This is exactly the right time for a thorough inspection and maintenance of injection molding machines. Timely service inspection and replacement of worn components help prevent unexpected failures when production is running at full capacity again.

Why is summer maintenance essential?
Minimising production downtime
Unplanned failures of the plasticising unit, worn screws or faulty heating bands can stop production for hours or even days. A summer inspection helps prevent critical failures at a time when production is fully loaded.
Measuring wear on key components
The most heavily loaded parts of injection molding machines and extruders include:
- screws
- screws tips
- barrels
- heating elements and heating bands
Regular wear measurement helps detect loss of tolerance, reduced plasticising performance or the risk of machine damage in time. BORRA provides expert technical consultation as well as wear measurement directly at the customer’s site.
Stress-free purchasing planning
The summer months provide space for systematic replacement planning and optimisation of stock levels. This helps you avoid urgent orders and express costs during the main production season.
