Compared to ordinary injection molds, medical device molds have certain distinctions. For instance, there are significant differences between multi-cavity medical molds and automotive molds. Multi-cavity medical molds require precision and balanced flow in each cavity, and it is common to see molds with 8, 36, 72, or even more cavities, which is vastly different from automotive molds and also quite distinct from injection molds for mobile phones and electronic products.
In terms of steel material selection, medical device molds also exhibit differences from other types of molds. Medical device molds require easier maintenance, and some medical molds also necessitate special coatings on the mold surface to meet the demands of heat dissipation, contamination removal, and demolding.
In the design of medical device molds, the primary consideration is fully automated production. When arranging the details of precision medical molds, we also need to consider reducing contamination of the product by the mold structure to maintain product cleanliness. During the mold production process for medical consumables, it is also necessary to consider auxiliary structures for automated production, such as robotic arms, conveyor belts, or automatic drop systems, while ensuring product cleanliness, protection, and control.
In the selection of steel materials for high-temperature medical injection molds, attention must also be given to the fatigue strength of the mold steel at high temperatures, as temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius are common for high-temperature molds. Of course, auxiliary equipment such as dehumidifiers during the injection molding process is also crucial.
The production of high-quality precision molds ensures efficient and reliable medical injection molding production while also reducing the costs of medical plastic production.
