Mold for plastic feet

We specialize in custom plastic feet mold development, plastic foot component production, and optional assembly services—not finished product trading. Our molds are engineered to match your plastic feet’s unique needs (e.g., anti-slip textures, shock-absorbing structures, load-bearing designs) , with tailored structures, material compatibility, and optimized injection molding to deliver durable, functional plastic foot parts for furniture, appliances, and equipment.

1. Custom Mold Structures: Tailored to Plastic Feet Requirements

Plastic feet (e.g., furniture feet, washing machine feet, cabinet feet) need to balance anti-slip performance, load-bearing capacity, and easy installation—our mold structures are customized to address these key demands:

Cavity & Core: Machined via high-precision CNC machining (tolerance as tight as ±0.02mm) to replicate critical details—such as anti-slip patterns (e.g., grid lines, raised dots, 0.2–0.5mm depth for enhanced friction), hollow shock-absorbing cavities (for appliances), and mounting structures (e.g., threaded holes for screws, adhesive grooves). For feet with uneven thickness (e.g., 1–5mm for thin furniture feet, 8–15mm for heavy appliance feet), the mold’s core is calibrated to ensure uniform wall thickness and no deformation.

Gating System: Designed to avoid visible marks on the foot’s contact or exposed surfaces. Submarine gates (hidden at mounting holes or bottom edges) or edge gates (positioned at non-functional sides) are used—they leave no traces and eliminate post-molding trimming. For small feet (diameter ≤20mm), micro pin gates (0.6–1mm) ensure precise material flow, reducing waste by 10–15%.

Cooling System: Optimized for feet’s diverse shapes (e.g., cylindrical, square, conical). For thick-foot designs (≥8mm), spiral cooling channels accelerate heat dissipation to prevent warping; for thin-foot designs (≤3mm), parallel cooling plates ensure even cooling and maintain flatness (critical for stable placement). Cooling time is reduced by 20–30% via targeted temperature control, boosting production efficiency.

Ejection System: Uses ejector pins (positioned at mounting holes or non-contact areas) or stripper rings (for cylindrical feet) to protect anti-slip textures and structural integrity. Balanced ejection force avoids scratches on anti-slip surfaces—ensuring the foot’s functional performance isn’t compromised.

2. Suitable Plastic Materials: Matched to Plastic Feet Applications

Plastic feet face frequent contact with floors, weight pressure, and environmental factors (moisture, temperature changes)—we select materials based on functionality, durability, and use scenarios:

TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber): Ideal for anti-slip, shock-absorbing feet (e.g., chair feet, table feet, sofa feet). Offers high friction coefficient (≥0.8 for wood/tiles), good elasticity (Shore A 40–60) to reduce noise and vibration, and wear resistance—prevents floor scratches and maintains grip over long-term use.

PP (Polypropylene): Used for lightweight, cost-effective feet (e.g., small cabinet feet, storage box feet). Provides good chemical resistance (to water, cleaning agents), low density (reduces product weight), and easy processing—suitable for low-load (≤5kg per foot) indoor scenarios.

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer): Perfect for high-performance feet (e.g., washing machine feet, refrigerator feet). Combines elasticity (shock absorption for appliance vibration) and heat resistance (up to 100°C), with excellent weather resistance—works in humid or temperature-fluctuating environments (e.g., kitchens, balconies).

PA66 + Glass Fiber (15–25% GF): Great for heavy-duty feet (e.g., industrial equipment feet, large furniture feet). Features high tensile strength (supports load up to 50kg per foot), impact resistance, and dimensional stability—withstands heavy pressure without deformation, suitable for commercial or industrial use.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Suitable for waterproof feet (e.g., bathroom cabinet feet, outdoor furniture feet). Offers good water resistance (no swelling or rotting), low cost, and flame-retardant properties—ideal for wet or outdoor environments.

3. Injection Molding Process: Optimized for Plastic Feet Quality

Our injection molding process is fine-tuned to meet plastic feet’s functional demands (anti-slip, load-bearing) and production efficiency, with these core advantages:

Anti-Slip Texture Precision: Mold cavities are engraved with high-precision laser tools to replicate anti-slip patterns—ensuring each foot has consistent texture depth and density (no unevenness that reduces grip). Post-molding inspection checks texture clarity, with a defect rate below 0.3%.

Load-Bearing Stability: Injection parameters (temperature 180–240°C, pressure 70–110MPa) are optimized to enhance material density—feet have no internal voids, ensuring uniform load distribution. Each batch undergoes load testing (e.g., 3× intended load for 24 hours) to confirm no deformation or breakage.

Efficient Mass Production: Multi-cavity molds (16–48 cavities, based on foot size) maximize output. For standard 30mm-diameter furniture feet, daily production reaches 80,000–120,000 components. Automated sorting and packaging systems reduce labor costs and ensure consistent quality.

Cost Optimization: Hot runner systems reduce material waste by 12–18%; for TPR/TPE feet, two-shot molding (combining rigid core with soft anti-slip layer) integrates functions in one step, cutting post-processing costs. Large orders (100,000+ feet) enjoy 10–15% per-unit cost reduction.

4. Our Services: Beyond Molds—Plastic Feet & Assembly

We provide end-to-end solutions for plastic feet production, not just molds:

Plastic Feet Manufacturing: Produce custom feet in various sizes (diameter 10–80mm, height 5–50mm), shapes (cylindrical, square, conical), and designs (threaded, adhesive, snap-on). Supports custom colors (RAL/Pantone codes) or additional features (e.g., height-adjustable structures, noise-reducing layers).

Value-Added Assembly: Optional assembly services for foot sub-assemblies—such as pre-installing metal threaded inserts (for easy screwing), attaching double-sided adhesive tapes (tool-free installation), or assembling feet with shock-absorbing rubber pads. Delivers ready-to-install foot units, saving your production time.

Custom Design Support: Offer 3D mold design and rapid prototyping (via SLA 3D printing). We can produce 20–50 prototype feet in 2–3 days for you to test anti-slip performance, load-bearing capacity, and fit with your products—optimizing the mold design before mass production.
