Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for the cat litter scoop mold or injection-molded parts?
A: MOQ for a new mold is 1 set. For production parts, MOQ typically starts at 5,000 pieces, but we can discuss lower volumes for trial orders. Contact our sales team for specifics.
Q2: Can you produce a two‑shot (overmolding) cat litter scoop with a soft grip handle?
A: Yes. Our hot runner system supports sequential and co‑injection processes. We can design a mold with two materials (e.g., PP + TPR) for a comfortable, non‑slip grip. Please provide your design or requirements.
Q3: How long does it take to manufacture the mold?
A: Typical lead time is 25–35 working days after design approval, depending on complexity. Rushed delivery (15–20 days) is possible with prior arrangement.
Q4: What materials are best for a cat litter scoop, and do you supply them?
A: Common choices are polypropylene (PP) for its chemical resistance and low cost, or ABS for higher rigidity. TPR overmolds add softness. We can source raw materials from trusted suppliers upon request.
Q5: Do you offer sample testing before mass production?
A: Absolutely. We provide T1 (first trial) samples for your approval. Typically 2–5 free samples are included, and we can do dimensional reports, material certifications, and function tests.
Q6: How do you ensure the mold cavity fill is balanced?
A: We use Moldflow simulation to optimize gate locations and runner sizes. Our PLC controlled hot runner allows individual temperature and pressure adjustment per cavity, ensuring each scoop is identical.
Q7: What is your warranty policy on the mold?
A: We offer a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects (excluding normal wear). During the warranty period, we repair or replace defective components free of charge.
Q8: Can you engrave a logo or brand name on the scoop during molding?
A: Yes. Logos, text, or vent patterns can be integrated into the mold cavity. The cost is minimal if added during the design phase.
