Benefits of Our Mold:
- Enhanced Surface Durability via Plasma Nitriding
Plasma-nitrided surfaces enhance mold hardness to 1,100–1,300 HV, reducing wear and ensuring over 500,000 cycles in high-pressure vulcanization, ideal for high-demand silicone food packaging. - Precision Thermal Management
FEA-optimized conformal cooling channels ensure uniform mold-face temperatures with a ±2°C tolerance, preventing curing inconsistencies and flash formation in intricate valve designs. - Tight-Tolerance Tool Fabrication
CNC and EDM technologies deliver ±0.005mm dimensional accuracy, crucial for ensuring precise flow control in ketchup dispensing valves, meeting ISO 3601-3 compliance and strict leakage standards. - Corrosion-Resistant Material Integrity
H13 tool steel, pre-hardened to 38–42 HRC and coated with CrN PVD, resists degradation from ketchup acids and sulfurized rubber compounds, extending tool life and reducing downtime for maintenance.
Surface Treatment Options for Our Tooling:
- Plasma Nitriding
Enhances mold hardness and wear resistance, providing a longer tool life for high-cycle molding operations. - PVD Coating (Physical Vapor Deposition)
Adds an additional layer of corrosion and wear resistance, ideal for food-grade applications subject to acidic or abrasive conditions. - Hard Chrome Plating
Offers excellent corrosion resistance and superior surface finish, ensuring easy ejection of silicone parts and preventing sticking. - Ceramic Coating
Provides exceptional heat resistance, making it ideal for molds exposed to high temperatures during the compression molding process.
Quality Assurance:
Our rigorous quality assurance processes ensure that each mold meets the highest standards for food-grade applications. We use advanced testing methods, including spectrometry for material validation, Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) for dimensional accuracy, and Rockwell/Clemex microhardness testers to assess plasma nitriding surface hardness. We also conduct thermal cycling tests and corrosion resistance simulations to validate the mold’s performance under demanding conditions. Our facility is ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certified, ensuring consistent quality control throughout every stage of production.
