Mold Temperature/℃ | Check Corner | ||
| 20° | 60° | 85° | |
| 73 | 96.7 | 99.4 | 98.1 |
| 65 | 96.4 | 98.2 | 98.3 |
| 52 | 89.2 | 95.8 | 98.2 |
| 36 | 79.5 | 91.7 | 98 |
The temperatures listed in this table refer to the heating temperatures used during air conditioning panel injection mold manufacturing. Specifically, this temperature plays a crucial role in the injection molding process, directly affecting the plastic's fluidity, curing speed, and the surface gloss of the final product.
During the injection molding process, plastic air conditioner shell mould temperature is crucial to the plastic's processing properties. High or low mold temperatures can significantly impact the quality of the finished product. Therefore, understanding gloss data at different mold temperatures is crucial for manufacturers. This not only helps ensure that the final product's appearance meets standards, but also improves production efficiency, reduces defective products, and ensures that product quality meets customer expectations.
Key Steps in Air Conditioning Panel Injection Molding
——
(1) Material selection for plastic air conditioner shell mould High-quality raw materials are essential for ensuring the quality of air conditioner shells. KRMOLD typically uses plastic materials with excellent heat resistance, weather resistance, and impact resistance, such as ABS and PC. These materials meet the requirements of air conditioners in diverse operating conditions.
(2) Air conditioning panel injection mold design and manufacturing Central to the injection molding process is the plastic air conditioner shell mould, its design significantly influences the dimensional correctness and look of the product. Ensuring that every plastic air conditioner shell mold meets great manufacturing standards, KRMOLD professional air conditioning panel injection mold design team painstakingly creates and produces it to fit the shape, size, and functional needs of the air conditioner housing.
(3) Injection molding During the injection molding process, heated and molten plastic pellets are injected into the plastic air conditioner shell mould. The first form of the air conditioner shell is created following cooling and pressure maintenance. Strict temperature and pressure control is needed during this process to guarantee the plastic's flowability and molding quality.
(4) Post-processing and inspection for air conditioning panel injection mold After injection molding, the air conditioner housing requires post-processing such as deburring, polishing, and painting to enhance its surface quality and aesthetics. KRMOLD also conducts rigorous quality inspections to ensure compliance with relevant standards and requirements. This step is crucial to ensuring product quality. |  |

Specify the type of plastic (e.g. PP, ABS) and post-processing requirements (e.g. spraying, silk-screen printing), and provide 2D or 3D plastic part drawings should be provided. At the same time, provide the production volume, appearance requirements, tolerance standards, etc.
Generally speaking, our engineers will start to prepare the quotation immediately after the customer provides the complete production requirements. Usually it takes about 1-3 days.
The lead time for regular injection molds is usually 30-60 days, and may be longer for complex molds. For example, the typical lead time for liquid silicone molds is around 60 days, covering design, manufacturing, mold testing, etc.
High-precision processing technology: High-precision equipment such as CNC machining centers (CNC) and electric discharge machining (EDM) are used to optimize the design process in combination with CAD/CAM software. Quality control: Inspection of key dimensions of the mold by Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) and verification of multiple sample batches during the trial molding stage. Material Selection: Use die steel with high wear resistance (e.g. H13, S136) and surface treatment (e.g. nitriding, chrome plating) for die nuts to extend the life.
After every 50,000 molds, check the guide pillar, ejector pin and other wear parts, and clean up the residual plastic and rust on the mold surface. Use high temperature grease for sliding parts (e.g. tilt top, slider) to reduce friction loss. Ensure that the water circuit is smooth and the temperature difference is ≤5℃ to avoid cracking of the mold due to thermal stress.
Mould cost of materials accounted for about 30-40% (such as 1 ton of P20 steel price of about 20,000 yuan), processing costs accounted for more than 50% (CNC labor hourly rate of about 80-150 yuan / hour). Small batch production can choose aluminum mold or simplify the structural design; more than 100,000 pieces is recommended to use carbide inserts to enhance life!
Mould injection products need to fully meet the design requirements (such as size, appearance), and can be continuous and stable production. Mold marking, inspection reports (such as material hardness test) and engineering drawings should be complete.
Mould steel (such as S136H, NAK80 and other imported materials cost more) and the type of mold embryo (aluminum mold short-term cost is low but short life) directly affect the cost, the use of CAD/CAE/CAM design technology, hot runner system, etc. will increase the upfront investment, but can enhance the long-term benefits (such as reducing the sprues, increase production capacity).
