loading and the use of jacking device possible for lifting heavy objects and
transferring it onto vehicles for transportation. They are also useful for
storing goods in warehouses. Previously, these pallets were made of wood and
metal. But, you can now get pallets that are made economically however,
depending on the purpose for which they are to be used. You have some reputed
mold makers like HQ Mould who not only
manufacture pallet molds but also offer guidance regarding the right type of molds required for the type of pallet that is required.
Types of Moulds
·
Injection molding Plastic pallets- These types are molds are suitable
for large scale production of pallets. It is appropriate in cases where the pallets
of the same design are to be produced in large numbers. It again involves two
processes which are low-pressure structural foam molding and high pressure
injection molding. While the former is used to produce pallets with high
strength to weight ratio the latter is meant to produce pallets with intricate
details.
·
Thermoforming- This includes vacuum thermoforming
and pressure thermoforming processes and is used to produce lightweight and
cheaper plastic pallets. However, they are strong.
·
Blow molding- This involves processes like
Extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding and injection stretch blow
molding that is applied according to the requirements.
·
Compression molding- It is a low-cost low wastage
manufacturing process.
