Coolingsystem


Cooling system

Controlling the mold temperature affects the molding quality and production efficiency. Conformal cooling technology enhances the cooling efficiency

Exhaust systemExhaust groove, vacuum-assisted exhaustExpel the air in the cavity to prevent trapped air and charring, ensuring the molding quality of plastic products
Demolding mechanism

Push rod, push tube, push plate, lateral core-pulling mechanism, rotary demolding device

Push the cooled and solidified plastic products out of the mold to ensure smooth demolding of the products without deformation
Guidance systemGuide pins and guide sleeves

During the opening and closing process of the mold, precise alignment is achieved to prevent the misalignment and damage of mold parts, thereby enhancing the service life and forming accuracy of the mold

Support systemSupport plates, spacers, support columnsBear the weight of the mold and the injection pressure. The design should be based on the size of the clamping force to ensure the
