As a mainstream plastic injection mold type in the plastic injection molding industry, two platen injection molding are widely used in the manufacture of products such as plastic water cups, electronic product casings, and automotive parts due to their simple structure and efficient production.
Key Points About Two Platen Injection Mold: 1)Design and Structure: A two platen injection mold consists of two main plates (a cavity plate and a core plate). For basic applications, it offers a simpler design and is more cost-effective; 2)Gating System: Two platen injection molds typically use side gates, feeding material from the outside of the cavity. They are suitable for simple designs where gate location is not critical; 3)Application: Two platen injection molds are best suited for direct designs and single cavity injection molds. They are often used for products where gate location is not a critical factor; 4)Improving Efficiency and Reducing Waste: In two platen injection mold designs, the runner system is often connected to the part, which can result in increased material waste; 5)Cost Considerations: Due to their simple design, two platen injection molds generally have lower production and maintenance costs; 6)Product Requirements: Two platen injection molds are suitable for larger products or those with large holes in the center, allowing for internal feeding.
In addition to two platen injection molds, KRMOLD also offers three platen injection molds. Choosing between a two platen injection mold and three platen injection mold depends on the specific requirements of your product, including design complexity, gate location requirements, and production efficiency goals.
