The functioning of a Plastic Mould Factory

The business of a Plastic Mould Factory is to produce Moulds that can be used to set the different types of plastics meant for different types of products so that you as a manufacturer of a plastic product would be able to use the mould.

The mould must be good enough to yield the required quantity of the product of the quality that is required. This goes to show that mould making companies of high quality and great track record such as HQmould must be capable of producing commodity plastic moulds meant for ordinary products like buckets, plant pots etc, functional products like pipe fittings and products that require high- precision and mechanical properties like automotive parts. 

The processes

You might have noted that different types of moulds would yield different types of end products. It is precisely due to this reason, that the plastic mould factories use different techniques for mould making depending on which process would suit the manufacturing of the part or product you wish to access.  There are a number of processes the common processes that are employed include.

·       Rotational moulding- This is employed for large parts that are required every year in large quantities. Eg. Utility carts, car parts, Road cones etc.

·       Injection moulding- Suitable for any type of plastic part or product even those that have to be very thin. Eg. Bumpers, electrical switches, plastic bottle caps etc.

·         Blow Moulding- It is meant for hollow walled products like bottles, watering can etc.

·      Compression moulding- Ideal to make small parts required in large quantities like smaller auto parts.

·         Extrusion Moulding – Products that adhere to strict cross-sectional profile like PVC pipe

·         Thermoforming- Used for mass production of products like plastic cups, fridge liners etc.
