Plastic injection molds and other types of plastic

Currently, plastic products are widely used in daily life, and the plastic industry is also growing rapidly. To conveniently produce mass-produced products, people often use precise, plastic molds. In this article, Hanoi Mold will explore different types of plastic injection molds with you.

  1. Plastic injection molds (Plastic compression molds)

Plastic molds, also known as plastic compression or plastic injection molds, are metal tools used to shape plastic products according to the mold cavity’s design. They are used in injection molding technology to manufacture plastic products.

Plastic molds are designed for each plastic product based on criteria such as shape, size, number of mold cavities, and the quality of the plastic product after molding. Plastic molds are crucial components that determine the quality, productivity, and cost of manufacturing plastic products.

2. Types of plastic molds (plastic compression molds, plastic injection molds)

There are various types of plastic molds (plastic compression molds, plastic injection molds) depending on the structure of the plastic product, which determines the choice of mold type to ensure the quality, productivity, and lifespan of the plastic product.

a. Based on the number of mold plates:

+ Two-plate plastic molds
+ Three-plate plastic molds

Plastic injection mold: 2-plate mold
Plastic injection mold: 2-plate mold

b.According to the mold opening method:

+ Straight opening plastic mold:

+ Horizontal opening plastic mold (in addition to a straight opening, there is also a horizontal opening called a slide).

c. Based on the method of extracting the product:

  • Ejector pin plastic molds.
  • Push plate or rim push molds.
  • Lifter or cross-pin lifter plastic molds.
  • Tube ejector plastic molds.
  • Hydraulic motor (rotary motor) ejector plastic molds, used for threaded products.
  • Air ejector (compressed air push) plastic molds.

d. Based on the material fabrication method:

  • Solid block plastic molds: The core and cavity are made of the same material.
  • Insert core plastic molds: The core, made of high-quality steel, is inserted into the cavity, which is made of lower-quality steel to save costs and provide other advantages.

e. Based on the characteristics of the plastic flow channel:

  • Cold runner plastic molds.
  • Hot runner plastic molds, also known as hot sprue molds.
 Hot channel plastic molding, also known as hot runner
Hot channel plastic molding, also known as hot runner

f. According to the characteristics of the plastic injection gates into the mold.

+ Overflow gate plastic mold.

+ Submarine gate plastic mold.

+ Sprue gate plastic mold.

g. According to the surface treatment properties of the steel used for plastic injection molds.

+ Non-tempered steel mold for plastic injection.

+ Tempered steel mold for plastic injection.
