The majority of process and machine-related defects tend to occur in the process stages of plasticising and injection or can be traced to poor gate design 大多數與過程和機械有關的缺陷都趨向於出現在塑化和注射階段，而澆口設計不良也其原因之一。

A study of the defects that can occur and the causes likely to be behind them will plainly show that a defect may also be due to a number of causes which, moreover, may have their origin either in the mould or in the process or in both. Therefore, it is not uncommon that an isolated measure will prove ineffective against some defects where a coordinated bundle of corrective actions are needed to cover several phases of the process. Most process-related defects tend to occur in the plasticising and injection phases, whereas those relating to the mould primarily involve gate design. 對可能產生的缺陷以及背後的原因的研究很顯然的表明，一種缺陷的產生也可能暗含有許多的原因，這些原因或是與模具有關，或是與處理過程有關，或是兩者兼而有之。因此，採用一個孤立的辦法來預防一些缺陷將被証明是無效的，這一點並不是會麼不尋常的事情。同等地，要預防這些缺陷，在整個處理的過程中，在其中的很多個階段上，要採取許多的改善行動。大多數與處理過程有關的缺陷都趨向於發生在塑化和注射階段，而那些與模具有關的缺陷則主要是澆口設計的問題。
