Home Appliances Precision Plastic Injection Mold
In the competitive home appliance market, part quality and consistent production are paramount. Our Home Appliances Precision Plastic Injection Mold line delivers tight tolerances (±0.05 mm), robust tool life and versatile options—from overmolding and double-shot to multi-color/multi-shot designs—ensuring your plastic components meet the highest standards.
Mold Configuration & Features
• Part Name: Home Appliances Precision Plastic Injection Mold
• Cavity Count: Single or dual cavities (customizable to production volume)
• Mold Base: Standard LKM system for global compatibility
• Runner Systems:
– Cold Runner with Tunnel Gate for simple parts
– Hot Runner (needle-valve or hot-tip nozzles) placed directly at the gate for reduced waste in multi-color and overmolding applications
• Process Capabilities: Overmolding, two-shot/double-shot molding, multi-color and multi-shot production under one toolset
Steel Selection for Optimal Performance
Choosing the right tool steel is critical to mold longevity, surface finish and ease of maintenance. We offer a range of premium materials tailored to your application:
• P20 (1.2311)
– Low-alloy steel with excellent machinability and toughness. Ideal for medium-complexity, medium-volume appliance parts.
• H13 (1.2344)
– Hot-work tool steel noted for high thermal fatigue resistance and hardness. Suited for molds running elevated melt temperatures or lengthy production cycles.
• S136 (1.2083)
– Stainless mold steel prized for corrosion resistance and mirror-like polish. Perfect for parts requiring cosmetic finishes and strict dimensional control.
• NAK80 (P21)
– Pre-hardened steel offering dimensional stability and superb polishability. Recommended for precision components and high-gloss surfaces.
• 718 (P20 + Ni)
– Modified P20 with added nickel for enhanced wear resistance and impact toughness. Optimal for demanding, high-throughput environments.
Materials & Tolerance
• Polymer Compatibility: ABS, PP, PVC, PC, PE, PA, POM and other engineering resins
• Dimensional Accuracy: ±0.05 mm across critical features, ensuring seamless assembly in appliance housings, control panels, vents and brackets.
Runner & Gate Design
• Hot Runner Solutions:
– Needle-valve gating directly on part surfaces for color changes or multi-material layering (overmolding)
– Hot-tip nozzles for simplified maintenance and minimal purge volume in multi-color or multi-shot operations
• Cold Runner Options:
– Tunnel gates engineered for balanced filling, ease of trimming and minimal jetting issues in single-color parts
Applications in Home Appliances
Our precision molds are widely used to produce:
• Control knobs, buttons and housing panels (multi-color indicators)
• Water and detergent dispensers (overmolded seals)
• Vent grilles and structural brackets (high-impact plastics)
• User interface overlays (double-shot legends and color accents)
Benefits & Support
• Extended Mold Life: Up to millions of cycles with proper maintenance and steel selection
• Rapid Turnkey Delivery: Design, tooling and trial runs in a streamlined 6–8 week timeline
• Technical Partnership: Moldflow analysis, post-launch optimization and on-site service available
