Custom Food Cap Injection Mold: 1*24 Cavities, Hardened S136, 300K Shots
Product Spotlights
At Changzhou Hongxinyutai Precision Mold Co., Ltd., we specialize in delivering high-performance injection molds tailored for the food packaging industry. Our Custom Food Cap Injection Mold featuring 1x24 cavities is engineered to maximize productivity while maintaining precise dimensional consistency for every cap. Crafted from hardened S136 stainless steel, this mold offers exceptional corrosion resistance and wear durability, ensuring a minimum of 300,000 reliable shots before any major maintenance is required. Whether you need standard bottle caps, tamper-evident closures, or custom food container lids, this mold solution is designed to reduce cycle times and boost your output without compromising quality.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
Our mold combines advanced engineering with proven manufacturing techniques. Below is a detailed overview of its core characteristics:
- Multi-Cavity Design (1x24): Twenty-four identical cavities ensure high-volume production with consistent part weight and dimensions, reducing scrap rates.
- Hardened S136 Steel: Pre-hardened to 48-52 HRC, this martensitic stainless steel resists rust, acidic food components, and thermal fatigue, extending tool life.
- 300,000 Shot Warranty: Backed by rigorous testing, the mold is guaranteed to deliver at least 300,000 cycles under standard injection molding parameters.
- Precision Cooling System: Strategically placed water channels minimize warpage and shorten cooling time, resulting in faster cycle times (typical 8-12 seconds per shot).
- Interchangeable Inserts: Optional cavity inserts allow quick changeovers for different cap designs without replacing the entire mold base.
- Hot Runner / Cold Runner Options: Available with either system depending on your material (PP, PE, PET) and production requirements.

- Minimized Downtime: The hardened S136 steel and robust construction enable continuous production with minimal maintenance intervals.
- Consistent Quality: Precision machining (CNC + EDM) ensures each cavity is identical within ±0.02 mm, eliminating sizing issues.
- Food Safety Compliance: S136 is a non-toxic, FDA-compliant material (when properly processed) suitable for direct food contact caps.
- Quick Delivery: Our experienced team in Changzhou, China, can produce this mold within 25–35 working days, supported by TS16969 quality management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What types of food caps can this mold produce?
A: It can produce standard threaded caps, snap-on lids, press-fit closures, and custom tamper-evident designs. The cavity shape is fully customizable based on your CAD model. -
Q: Is the S136 steel safe for food contact?
A: Yes, S136 is a medical/food-grade stainless steel when properly polished and processed. It resists corrosion and does not leach harmful substances into food-grade materials. -
Q: Do you provide mold testing before shipment?
A: Absolutely. We perform trial runs on our injection machines and provide a test report with sample parts, cycle time, and dimensional measurements upon request. -
Q: Can I use this mold with my existing injection molding machine?
A: We design the mold base and mounting pattern to match your machine specifications. Please provide your machine's platen size, tie-bar spacing, and ejector system details. -
Q: What maintenance is required after 300,000 shots?
A: The mold may need re-polishing of gate areas and cleaning of cooling channels. We provide a maintenance guide and recommend annual inspection. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for a custom mold like this?
A: Standard lead time is 30–35 working days from design approval. Rush orders can be accommodated with extra charges. -
Q: Do you offer hot runner systems for this mold?
A: Yes, we can integrate hot runner systems from brands like YUDO or INCOE. The cost and design will be adjusted accordingly. -
Q: How does the 24-cavity design compare to a 16-cavity mold in terms of cost?
A: While the initial investment is higher, the 24-cavity mold yields approximately 50% more parts per cycle, significantly lowering per-unit cost for high-volume runs.
