Gas assisted chair mold solution

Gas assisted molding is widely used in manufacturing hollow plastic parts, light weight but strong strength. Especially for chair mold, then how to manufacture good quality gas assisted chair mould?

First the material used. Here are three solutions:
1. pure PP
2. PP plus filler (calcium carbonate)
3. PP plus glass fiber

If go first way, it is very easy to cause shrinkage, as chair corner part is very thick.
If go second, chair appearance will be polisher than with fiber. 

But usually we suggest the last, and go PP + 15% glass fiber. Although chair part can not be same polish as the second because of fiber special specification, but it is easier to blow gas. Besides, it has more strength and tenacity.

Before chair mould design, need to have mold flow analysis to better understand material flow, gas blowing channel and all related issues. And suggest valve gate system, compared to normal hot runner, it can completely solve mould flash during air blowing.

If you have new project of gas assisted chair mold, kindly tell below information, and we’ll supply you fine solution of gas assist chair mould:

• Chair part dimension & weight
• Suitable injection molding machine
• Air pressure of gas assisted equipment
• Do you prefer fully automatic manufacturing with robot? Or auto drop without robot?

Why China mold costs differ so much from different companies?

Mold cost is another headache problem for worldwide customers. Many clients of mine ask me why your mold cost is much higher, compared to the quotation of other factories, it seems all the same. 

This article I will tell you the truth, also share you how to find the most suitable mold cost. 

Maybe for a mould project, price difference can reach about 30% or more or less, I don't feel strange, because here is in China. Most of people promise you A, but after you confirm order and give deposit, they give you B! And the difference between A and B is huge! For example they quoted you P20 China, but they don't use real P20, they bought 45C, then heat treatment it, the hardness only on surface of steel, inside steel very soft! 

I do not agree China mold is bad, actually it is more and more good. But above issue is real exist, at the same time, worldwide customers do not know which Chinese mold maker is good quality, those bad businessmen catch this loophole, thus influence the reputation of China mold. 

How we do? We use not only the real prehardened steel with HRC required, but also we make standard mold base, it can be any international standard like DME or Hasco! Only these 2 points 30% difference in price is not enough to pay for them. Also our molds will be built adjustment and easy to maintain, because we put lots of wear plates to protect all places easier to get worn. 

Regarding how to find the most right mold cost, if you have any interest, feel free to contact me, I will tell the steel cost, then you can calculate.
