STEEL PLATES: WHAT ARE THEY?
Mold base plates are structural components used to hold molds in place for the production of plastic objects (plastic mold bases) or sheet metal parts (sheet metal mold bases).
Steel plates have a wide range of applications, including the automotive, aerospace, railway, and maritime industries.
They are manufactured through various machining processes, such as milling, roughing, finishing, drilling, and grinding. CNC machines ensure tight dimensional tolerances for optimal performance.
Each custom mold base is produced according to the client’s technical drawings, ensuring precision and full compliance with project specifications.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CUSTOM MOLD BASES
There are several types of custom mold bases, including:
CHOOSING THE RIGHT STEEL PLATE FOR MOLD BASES
When selecting the right mold base, several factors should be considered before purchase. Steel mold bases should meet the following key requirements:
High quality
Ensuring long-term durability and extended usability.
Ease of use
Allowing for efficient operation and time savings.
Precision and adaptability
Enabling the creation of molds in the desired size and shape for effective application.
STEEL PLATES FOR PET PREFORM MOLDS
Custom mold bases are used to create molds for manufacturing plastic and sheet metal components.
Steel Lavorazioni Meccaniche specializes in manufacturing steel plates for PET preform mold production.
A PET preform is produced through PET injection molding, which is then transformed into a bottle through a blow molding process. The resulting PET bottles are typically used for food and beverage packaging.
A preform consists of a finish (the bottle’s neck), which remains unchanged during the blow molding process and retains its original dimensions in the final container.
The heavier the preform, the stronger the resulting container, while the length and shape of the preform influence PET distribution in the final container.
An incorrect PET distribution may cause weak spots or material accumulation, affecting container performance.
PET mixtures can be combined with color additives to give the bottle its final hue. The most common colors include blue, red, yellow, and amber.
