What Is Plastic Injection Mold?


A plastic injection tooling is a special type of manufacturing tool used for injection moulding. They are usually made of steel.

Essentially, a plastic injection mold consists of a large cavity into which plastic is injected. This plastic flows around the core and the cavity, which have been built to create the proper size and shape of your component. Then, the plastic part solidifies on the mold, and is ejected from the mold once it’s hardened and solidified. Then, this process is repeated.

A high-quality thermoplastic mold can be used to make millions of plastic components, and is a must-have if you are creating high-quality, high-volume injection-molded components.

Plastic Injection Mold Terms

If you are new to the world of injection moulding, there are some key terms you may want to know while working with an injection mold supplier.

Injection mould

This is a steel or aluminum mold that is used to injection mold plastic parts in a high-volume production environment.

Cavity

This refers to the interior part of the mold tool, where molten plastic is injected and then solidifies to create your product

Core

This is the part inside the mold that protrudes, and it works with the cavity to create the proper shape of the product.

Mold Base

The mould base is a plate that supports the core and the cavity.

Parting Line

This is a line on the plastic product, which shows where the mold cavity and core come together.

Draft

The “draft” refers to an angle of a few degrees, which is used to make it easier to extract the product from the mold tooling once it’s been injection molded.

Sprue

Sprues are round chambers that are used to transfer plastic resin from the nozzle through the runner system in the mold

Ejection Pin

This is a metal shaft or pin that is used to automatically push a plastic product out of the mold.

Vent

A vent is a small space between the mould core and mould cavity, allowing high-pressure air to escape instead of remaining inside the mold. This prevents defects.

Gate

Gates are special channels in the tooling that allow melted plastic to flow into the mold tooling.

Slider

Sliders are a special type of mechanical structure, which are sometimes used to build specialized parts that can’t be created with a cavity and core alone.

Lifter

A lifter is a slanting block, which is placed inside the mould. It is used to create recessed or extruded part features.

 How to set your injection molding machine parameters? Injection Molding Machine Introduction Technology: Polycarbonate injection molding is an engineering technology that involves transforming plastic into useful and original products. Important process conditions for polycarbonate injection molding are temperature, pressure and corresponding individual time of action that affect plasticizing flow and cooling. Injection moulding machine setting – temperature control 1.  Barrel temperature : Temperature to be controlled during moulding process is barrel temperature, nozzle temperature and mold temperature. First two temperatures primarily affect plasticization and flow of plastic, while latter temperature primarily affects flow and cooling of plastic. Each plastic has a different flow temperature. Same plastic has different flow and decomposition temperatures due to different sources or grades. This is due to difference in average molecular weight and distr...

  PLASTIC BUS CHAIR MOULD HEYA MOLD is professional in mould design and custom production of all kinds of chair mould, we have provided the  plastic bus chair mould  for many customers. The public transport plastic chair is a common public facility in our daily life. The public transport plastic chair requires high strength and certain flexibility. In the shaping process of the bus chair, we generally choose ABS plastic material with good mechanical comprehensive performance. In the design process, we first on the bus plastic chair plastic parts for process analysis, to select the appropriate mould and injection moulding machine, and so on. The bus chair for large plastic parts, accordingly need to design large mould and large injection moulding machine. The mould is suitable for single cavity mould structure, using a single point direct gate injection, plastic parts after stripping, the excess part of artificial resection. The steel material of the bus chair mould is usu...
