Making Good Plastic Kitchenware Injection Mould

Plastic kitchenware injection moulds are specialized tool used in the injection molding process to manufacture plastic tables of various shapes and sizes. These moulds determines the kitchenware's design, dimensions, and surface finish.

 
Common mould steel types for plastic kitchenware injection moulds
*P20 mould steel
HRC 28-32, pre-hardened steel, easy to machine, durable for medium-volume production, suitable for medium to large plastic kitchenware; cost-effective choice
*718H mould steel
HRC 33-38, pre-hardened steel, improved compared to P20, corrosion-resistant for plastic materials with additives, suitable for higher production cycles; common for kitchenware moulds requiring better surface finish and strength.
*H13 mould steel
HRC 42-48(after heat treatment), heat-resistant and wear-resistant tool steel, with high strength and toughness. Long mould life, especially for high-volume production, ideal for moulds with high-temperature processing or abrasive materials.
*S136 mould steel (or 420 stainles steel)
HRC 48-52, with excellent corrosion resistance, making moulds for outdoor furniture, where a high-gloss finish and corrosion resistance are essential. Excellent surface finish for transparent or glossy plastic kitchenware.
*NAK80 mould steel
HRC 38-43, pre-hardened steel with high machinability, suitable for complex designs or moulds requiring high polish.
 
Criteria for choosing mould steel
1. Product requirements
*For basic designs: use cost-effective steels like P20
*For high-gloss finishes: use S136 or 718H
*For abrasive materials: use H13
2. Production volume
*Low-to-medium production: P20 or 718H
*High-volume production: H13 or S136
3. Corrosion resistance
*If working with corrosive plastics (e.g., containing glass fibers), S136 is a better choice
4. Mould complexity
*For detailed designs and textures, steels like NAK80 or S136 perform better due to their excellent machinability and polishability
5. Budget
*P20 and 718H are more affordable but may need more frequent maintenance compared to H13 or S136
 
Factors to consider when designing a plastic kitchenware injection moulds
1. Product design: size, weight, and functionality of the table
2. Cycle time: optimizing mould design for faster production
3. Material shrinkage: accounting for the plastic's shrinkage rate during cooling
4. Mould maintenance: ensuring long-term use with regular cleaning and maintenance
 
Injection molding process for plastic kitchenware
1. Plastic material selection
Common materials: PP (Polypropylene), HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), or ABS.
The material is chosen based on durability, flexibility, and UV resistance for outdoor tables & chairs & stools.
2. Mould setup
The mould is mounted onto the injection molding machine.
3. Plastic injection
Molten plastic is injected into the mould cavity under high pressure.
4. Cooling
The plastic cools and solidifies inside the mould.
5. Ejection
The finished plastic table or table or stool parts are ejected from the mould.
6. Post-processing
Trimming, painting, or assembly (if multiple parts are molded).

Understanding Your Needs First

Before diving into potential plastic kitchenware mould manufacturers, it's essential to clarify your specific requirements:

1. Mould type: do you need a single-cavity or multi-cavity mould?
Single-cavity: suitable for low production volumes or complex parts.
Multi-cavity: ideal for high production volumes and simple part designs.
Hot runner: can improve efficiency and part quality for certain applications. (some moulds only can use cold runner)
 
2. Production volume: what is your expected production output?
This will directly impact the mold's complexity and cost, also influence the mould steel that will use.
High-volume production often justifies the investment in multi-cavity molds or hot runner systems.
 
3. Material: what type of plastic will be used for the kitchenware?
The chosen plastic will affect mold material selection, processing parameters, and part properties.
Common options for rebar supports might include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), ABS, or recycled material.
 
4. Dimensions and design: what are the exact specifications for the kitchenware?
Detailed CAD drawings or physical samples are essential.
Consider factors like wall thickness, undercuts, and draft angles for moldability.
 
5.Customization: do you require any specific features or customizations?
Specify any unique features, such as ribs, textures, or inserts.
These elements can impact mold complexity and cost.
 
6.Additional considerations:
Tolerances: define acceptable dimensional variations for the kitchenware.
Surface finish: specify the desired surface appearance (e.g., matte, glossy).
Mold life: estimate the number of parts you expect to produce before mold replacement.
Budget: establish a target price range for the mold.

By providing clear and detailed information about your project, you can streamline the quotation process and increase the likelihood of finding a suitable mold manufacturer.
