Plastic injection pipe fittings molds are precision tools specially used to produce various types of plastic pipe fittings, usually made of steel. This type of mold needs to withstand high temperature and high pressure plastic melt, and can repeatedly produce pipe fittings with precise dimensions and smooth surface.
Common types of plastic pipe fittings include:
Straight joints, elbows, tees, crosses and other connectors
Flange joints, flexible joints
Valve bodies, pipe caps
The first step is to confirm the mold design. Langko has professional design engineers who will design the parting surface based on past experience to reduce the flash of the product and demold smoothly. We will set up the injection molding system according to customer requirements. If there are customers with appearance requirements, we will recommend the use of point gates. If you want to achieve automatic product drop, you usually use latent gates. Generally, if there are no special requirements, we will use the side gate design method.
There are many choices of steel materials for pipe fittings molds. If it is just an ordinary pipe fitting, we only need to choose P20. If you need high-precision pipe fittings and need large-scale production, it is recommended to use quenching materials such as H13.
Langke has introduced precision CNC machines to ensure the precision of the pipe fitting mold cavity. And Langke has its own injection molding machine, which can be used for mold trial. After ensuring that the mold is fully functional, it is packaged and shipped.
As a key production tool in the plastic piping system, the design and manufacturing level of plastic injection pipe fitting molds directly affects the quality, cost and delivery cycle of pipe fitting products. With the continuous emergence of new materials and new processes, mold technology is also continuously innovating. Understanding these key technical points will help manufacturers improve their competitiveness and develop better quality pipe fittings.
For users who need to customize pipe fitting molds, it is recommended to work closely with experienced mold manufacturers. Langke considers the feasibility of mold manufacturing from the product design stage, and jointly optimizes the design plan to achieve the best balance between quality and cost.
