    Two Plate Three Plate

    There are two main types of injection molds: two plate molds and three plate molds. Two plate molds are the simplest with two plates - a fixed plate and a moving plate. Three plate molds have an additional runner plate between the top clamp plate and cavity plate, allowing runners and parts to be separated. Three plate molds open in three stages to separately eject runners and parts, making them suitable for automation but requiring a longer cycle time than two plate molds.

    Two Plate Mould and Three Plate Mould

    TYPES OF INJECTION MOULD

    • There are Two Main Types Of Injection Mould

    1. Two Plate Mould

    2. Three Plate Mould


    Two plate mold

    Two plate mold is the most typical mold,


    the simplest mold, and the most reliable mold.it
    has a simple construction. Normally it has the
    fewest number of moving parts including a fixed
    plate and a moving plate
    Components(structure of Two Plate mould)
    • Sprue, runners, gates, and cavities are all on
    the same side of the mold and cold runner
    and mold cavities on the same plate.
    • It is easy to design and to build. It has one
    parting line, A side and B side 2 main parts.
    TWO PLATE MOULD COMPONENTS
    Advantages of 2 plate mold
    • Mold Width And Length Will Be More Than 3 Plate Mold
    • It is more straight forward to run in production and easy to
    operate. Because of that, it is also cheaper to manufacture
    compared to other molds.
    • Besides, it has minimal operational problems, which means
    longer lifespan and less maintenance.
    • It has shorter run distance and fewer limitations, which
    makes things easy for the operator the set up the
    parameters of the injection molding machine.
    • Another great advantage of two plate mold is that it has a
    shorter cycle time, which could help reduce the cost of
    products and improve the efficiency of production.
    TWO PLATE MOULD
    • Application
    • For mass production, it can save money and time.
    Besides, two plate mold drops the plastic part
    freely. But after molding, there’s a need to cut off
    the gate manually.
    • What’s more, it’s easier to choose a gate shape
    and location when it comes to two plate mold.
    • The gating method includes a side gate, direct
    gate, and side gate and direct gate are generally
    used.
    Three Plate Mould

    Structure :-
    Three plate mold is also called small gate mold and it’s
    more complex than 2 plate mold. It has an additional
    mold plate between top clamp plate and cavity plate,
    called runner plate, which allows the runner scrap and
    plastic molded parts released separately.
    This System Is Exclusive To Pin Gates. Since Parts And
    Runners Are Formed On The Different Flat Surfaces, The
    Mold Needs To Open Its Sections Separately To Eject
    Them. It Is Called “3-plate” Because The Mold Is Divided
    Into Three Sections When It Is Open.
    • Opening sequence
    • Another thing is that the three plate mold requires
    three times opening. The first opening is to break the
    gate and pull sprue, so the feeding runner can easily
    take by arm robot or manually by hand.
    • The stripper plate will move after puller bolts pulled by
    cavity plate. The second time is called runner opening,
    which is to release the molded parts.
    • This opening will make space between the stripper
    plate and the cavity plate. The third time is to release
    the product automatically. It is suitable for automation.
    • Application
    3 plate mold is usually employed when the
    part is too big and need multiple injection
    points.
    Advantages
    • Three-plate can be more problematic. Three plate
    mold design has more advantages to locate the
    gate. It can have a gate located at the middle of
    the plastic part and allows pin-point gates.
    • Compared to two plate mold or a hot-runner
    mold, three plate mold is cheaper to build and
    less likely to break down. Thermally some
    sensitive materials are less likely to degrade.
    • Disadvantages
    • However, it could be problematic as well. Three
    plate mold requires longer cycle time and long
    run distance.
    • Therefore, it needs a bigger injection molding
    machine. Besides, although three plate mold
    could help reduce the production cost, it may
    cost more material because of the runner scrap.
    It is necessary to use a sprue puller.
