I’ve found it easiest to place heaters in the mold base and use a mold heat controller to get the mold hot enough. Place rod heaters with thermocouples in the mold to get it hit enough. Also add an insulating board to get it to heat faster and not have to heat plattens.
Make sure the ejector (pins) were ran in steel sleeves. This will stop mold base wear and extended repair times. If the sleeve galls up just replace them both. Make sure gate areas are hard inserts to improve replacement timing of worn parts. Also you may need place a hard insert opposite the gate for wear too. The mold can be DLC coated to slow wear of the base material.
