Flip-plate Multi-cavity Rubber Mold

Flip-plate multi-cavity rubber mold is a hinge-open mold with two or more rows of small cavities, designed for easy loading and unloading of small rubber parts. The die opens like a book, giving full access to all cavities.

Hinge Design

The mold is built on a hinge so that the upper plate can flip open to a nearly vertical position. This gives the operator easy access to every cavity for rubber blank loading and part removal. The cavities are arranged in multiple rows on both the upper and lower plates.

Advantages

• Easy part removal from deep or small cavities.

• Fast cycle time: no need to fully separate the die halves.

• Many cavities per mold for high output.

• Precision alignment via hinge and latch pins.

• Suitable for small rubber parts that are difficult to eject.

Typical Parts

Flip-plate molds produce small rubber grommets, seals, bushings, bumpers, feet, and precision rubber components. The hinge design is especially useful for parts that require hand loading of inserts or fabricating the rubber blank by hand.

Process

The operator places preforms in each cavity, flips the mold closed, and places it in the press. After vulcanization, the mold is removed, flipped open, and the parts are removed by hand or with tweezers.

Conclusion

The flip-plate multi-cavity rubber mold is an operator-friendly tool for small rubber parts. The hinge design balances high cavity count with easy loading and unloading.
