Ten points to improve the production of Bucket Mould

　　Although the standards and technology for the production of Bucket Mould have undergone tremendous changes in recent years, the basic rules for developing molds that meet the original design standards and operate effectively have not changed at all. These skills are based on more than 30 years of experience in the field of Bucket Mould manufacturing. Many of these techniques talk about communication. As any Bucket Mould manufacturer will tell you, incomplete information often appears at the beginning of the program. It's like only half of the map; the chance of reaching the final destination on time is slim.

　　1. Design in accordance with the specified cost and time standards.

　　The old rule of "good, fast, and cheap" for thin-walled container molds in China still applies. After a very short period of time, they're always seems to be time for rework or adjustments, but it is best to leave a reasonable amount of time during the design phase for inspections and corrections.

　　2. Ensure that existing technology can be used to generate design specifications.

　　Programs such as Solidworks and the availability of rapid prototyping can give you early insight into potential problems that may occur before cutting metal. Provide complete specifications for the engineering team, don't miss anything. If something is missing here, it will take more time and money to repair the latter part of the process.

　　3. Share your company's design philosophy with the mold manufacturer and give the mold manufacturer's design team an opportunity to contribute.

　　Many Bucket Mould and Drawer Mould manufacturers design new molds based on their current inventory and operating environment.

　　By making some very simple modifications to the design, the production speed can be speeded up. Invite your Bucket Mould manufacturer to make suggestions that can improve moldability.

　　4. Before starting production, set clear guidelines on the required minimum thin-walled bucket mold life and productivity.

　　Clearly defining the mold or mold's expected performance and service requirements can help save upfront capital. If your product is likely to be modified or replaced in a relatively short period of time, the engineering team of the mold manufacturer can design accordingly.

　　5. Let the mold maker formulate a production schedule so that there is a reasonable time for bench testing before delivery.

　　Without fine-tuning in the laboratory, the mold is usually delivered to meet the production deadline. Your mold maker should have the opportunity to run sample parts in its own factory. If there is a problem, he can correct it before delivery.

　　6. During the manufacturing process, establish a weekly progress report call/email with your sales representative.

　　The sales representative is very busy. It helps to establish a regular contact point to ensure that the project is proceeding as planned and within budget. The size of the project doesn't matter, it's worth eliminating assumptions every week.

　　7. Ask the mold maker for clear guidelines on how to maintain the thin-walled barrel mold after installation.

　　Bucket Mould may not be able to operate under ideal conditions. Poor material storage, irregular mold cleaning, improper maintenance of the press, and insufficient operator training can all cause mold performance degradation. Your mold manufacturer should include a set of instructions for care and maintenance based on the specifications for use.

　　8. During the first start-up and trial period, there should be an on-site sales representative of the mold shop present.

　　Buyouts are very important. Many molds suffered severe damage and needed immediate repair due to poor installation. When installing the mold for the first time, it is a good guarantee to have an on-site technical representative.

　　9. Please remember that the design and manufacture of molds work together.

　　Mold manufacturing is a combination of science and art. If needed, building a tool that can work 24/7 requires careful planning and inspection at every stage of production. In the production process, let your employees have time and money to go to the mold shop.

　　10. Don't cut corners!

　　It may not make sense to hand over the work to the lowest bidder. There are molds or molds to pay a reasonable price. If the budget is too low, it is possible to rebuild or repair the thin-walled barrel mold in a relatively short period of time. Trying to squeeze the last dollar from Bucket Mould, the mold maker’s estimate may eventually double the cost of the project. After all, the price is the price you pay for the mold. Cost is what you continue to pay for molds that were initially incorrectly constructed.
