Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cavity insert in an injection mold?
A cavity insert is a removable mold component that forms the external surface of molded plastic parts inside an injection mold.
Why are cavity inserts used instead of machining the entire cavity plate?
Using inserts allows easier repair, replacement, and modification, which reduces mold maintenance cost and downtime.
Why is SS420 steel commonly used for injection mold cavities?
SS420 steel provides good machinability, stable hardness, and reliable durability, making it suitable for many packaging molds.
Can cavity inserts be customized?
Yes. Cavity shape, size, number of cavities, and runner design can all be custom manufactured according to product drawings.
What industries commonly use cavity insert molds?
Industries include plastic packaging, cosmetics, food packaging, consumer products, and medical disposable plastics.
