How to choose a mold rack for a mold factory

The mold is known as the “mother of industry” of the modern industrial society manufacturing industry. An injection mold that meets the design standards can produce products needed for life and work in batches, and further realize the mass production and standardization of plastic products. Then, while designing the injection mold structure, it is also particularly important to find a suitable mold shelf. What are the criteria for a good mold shelf? Many people may not be clear, in fact, the standards can be seen in the following points:

1. The maintenance cost of mold racks and warehouses should be considered in advance. From the aspects of stability, firmness and details of mold racks, it may collide with forklifts.

2. Combine the frequency and efficiency of mold storage in the warehouse. For example, some molds are relatively large, so it is not suitable to choose a standard mold rack. The standard mold rack can only bear 1 ton per pump. If the mold rack is too heavy, the life of the mold rack will not be long and it is not safe.

3. We must find ways to improve the utilization of storage space. This has certain requirements for design, but it is definitely the basis of a high-quality mold rack.

4. When designing the mold rack, we also need to choose a reasonable mold rack type according to the actual situation of the warehouse

5. The mold shelf can meet the basic requirements and has basic use value.

After the above-mentioned standards are in place, what are the specific aspects of the mold factory to implement the standards, so as to improve the storage of the mold and effectively extend the service life of the mold?

How to choose a mold rack for a mold factory

1. In the mold rack design, if the customer does not install the crane, we will equip the corresponding crane hoist according to the size of the mold, which is convenient for the customer to move on and off the mold; greatly saving manpower and material resources. When the work efficiency increases, the safety factor also increases.

2. Since mold racks are mainly used in mold warehouses, the first factor to be considered is the physical environment of the warehouse, including the area of ​​the warehouse; the physical environment, ventilation, lighting, ground support, and fire prevention of the warehouse; the mold racks need to be arranged in a plane. The direction of CED, the type and quantity of molds.

3. Combining the specific conditions of the mold rack, the mold rack is stable, the space utilization rate is high, and every detail is well done.

4. Different molds require different mold racks. We need to consider the shape of the mold, the size of the mold space (length, width, height), the weight of each mold space, whether it is conducive to orderly stacking and other factors.

5. The way the mold is placed on the mold rack is also the range of warehouse mold rack selection. Whether the height of the forklift truck can be raised to the height of the top of the rack, and the channel between the mold racks. Is the passage to the handling tools reasonable? The mold is manually accessed, which is highly convenient for the operator to access, and the weight of each unit of the mold is easy to carry and other factors that need to be considered; the mold is accessed through the loading and unloading equipment to consider: whether the maximum height is reached. Some mold racks have some individual requirements, such as full-open mold racks; whether dust-proof is required, special treatment is required according to the design requirements. These factors should be considered when choosing the right mold rack.

Therefore, the mold structure design must not only consider the steel used, but also attach great importance to the mold shelf. The effective combination of the two can effectively extend the service life of the mold.
