Sino Mould Co., Ltd. is the world famous Chinese plastic mould manufacturers in Southeast of China, from 1999 a small workshop until today, SINO MOULD has a great achievements in plastic mould design and manufacturing. From the starting 10 officers until now more than 800, from 0.3M USD turnover to now more than 40M USD, from 50SQM workshop to now bigger then 60000SQM building area, from low quality plastic mould to super quality Plastic mould...during this 11 years, SINO MOULD has manufactured more then 9000 sets of plastic moulds.
In 2001 year, SINO MOULD established the partner relationship with MTS ( Mould Technology Service Co.) in Belgium, from this year, 60% of SINO MOULD's production capacity was offered to MTS, until 2004 year. During the cooperation with MTS, SINO MOULD established SINO MOULD quality standard for plastic mould design and manufacturing. The quality standard is based on MTS's requirements combined with DME standard plastic mould base and plastic mould components dimensions and quality. <<sino plastic mould design standard>> and <<sino plastic mould manufacturing standard>>, the introduction and implementation of this two quality standards caused the great improvements of SINO MOULD'S quality…from that time, SINO MOULD know what's the European requirements for the plastic mould, and the teams have gained the very top quality conception and mentality.
From 1999 to 2010, SINO MOULD has invested more than 20M USD of various plastic mould tooling equipments.
In July of 2005 year, SINO MOULD has carried out the quality managements according with TS16949, under this managements standard, Plastic Mould SINO MOULD improved the quality management system. Such like the process managements, dimension controlling, technology and skill training, quality controlling for plastic mould design and material and components of plastic mould.
From the end of 2008 until now, SINO MOULD has realized greatest optimization to the management, this actions has further improved the plastic moulds quality, delivery time, increased the market competitiveness. The optimizations are as follows:
SINO team put much more time than before in the plastic mould design analysis process. So the quality control of plastic mould design has been more rigorous. We did the biggest possibilities to avoid any Errors or shortcomings in the plastic mould design. So that we solved many plastic moulds problems in the computer while not in the workshop.
New tooling machines and QC equipments investment total investment from Sep.2009 to May. 2010 is around 4.5M USD.
SINO MOULD prohibited any hand workings on the plastic mould plates and other components, all the parts must be precise and well done by machining. The new technologies of machining process determined the precision. Such as: from the rough machining to precision machining, we have increased half precision machining, by this way, we have reduced the deforming of the plastic mould parts when they are machining…the taping for the screw holes, we started the processing by CNC milling machines or by the special taping machines…many tools and jigs innovating helped the high precise and effective of tooling...
Before precise milling or machining, there is one dimension inspection, after the precise machining, before it taking for assembling, there is dimensions inspection according to the printing drawings. All the dimensions must meet with moulds 2D drawings' tolerances
Before the shipments, all the plastic moulds will be put onto the machines for mass production inspection, for example some plastic moulds will automatic work for 24 hours, some huge plastic mould will run for at least 4 hours. And we will suggest our customer to do some quantity's parts plastic moulding in our company. The purpose is that to be sure there will be none problems on the plastic moulds.
As for the modern Plastic Mould Manufacturer, Sino Mould has herself managements system, team's philosophy of quality, company technologies properties and patents, Sino people's working culture and life culture…Sino people know that Sino is a company not only like a home, it is also like an army and a school.

Nolato expands medical moulding in Hungary
Strong healthcare market growth has prompted Swedish injection moulder Nolato to expand manufacturing capacity at its medical products division plant at Mosonmagyaróvár in north western Hungary.
In addition, the company’s industrial division is launching a new small manufacturing plant in the Prahova district of southern Romania to mould products for the hygiene sector.
The start-up of the unit was carried out at Nolato’s Hungarian factory and the company is transferring the operation to the Romanian site to increase capacity so that it will be closer to the customer, Nolato reported.
Torekov, Sweden-based Nolato is investing €7m to broaden the product range at the Hungarian facility. The project involves the conversion of its existing warehouse to clean room moulding space to make products such as disposable plastic components for dialysis machines.
The polymer systems developer and manufacturer is constructing a new 3,700 m2 automated warehouse facility at the plant. Production in the new moulding area is set to start by early 2013 and the project will lead to the overall addition of 50 employees to the 400-strong plant workforce, Hungary’s MTI news agency quoted Nolato director Norbert Meleg as announcing.
Nolato, which has received EU grant aid to the tune of €1.4m for the scheme, is focusing on the production of plastic parts for high tech medical equipment.
The Swedish injection moulder reported “good growth” for its medical and industrial products divisions for the first nine months of 2011, but its telecoms offshoot Nolato Telecom continued to see “weak volumes”.
Nolato Medical increased its sales against the same period last year by 9% to more than €159m. Its operating income for the period was just over €19m. “Volumes remained good during the quarter and in line with market growth,” commented Nolato president and CEO Hans Porat.
Last year, the Swedish group, which has a total workforce of some 7,500, recorded annual sales worth almost €371m. It has other production plants in China, India, the US and Sweden.

New sign painted incorrectly
AN ancient shield representing the county had an impromptu re-design this week, after a painter’s mistake.
The new town sign installed at a cost of more than £1,550 by Epping Town Council at first showed the three swords on the Essex coat of arms with a semi circle cut out of the top, rather than on the underside, as they appear on the county’s shield.
When the Guardian called the town council about the mistake, clerk Bob Whittome, who was responsible for installing it, said: “I hadn’t noticed.
“I suspect it’s a mistake on the part of the artist. We can get it remedied.”
Fiddlers Hamlet-based artist Jon Gregg, 45, who painted the sign for the council, said: “I’m sure I have seen it both ways, but I sorted it out so the nicks were at the bottom.
“It’s basically an oil painting. I think it was good of the council to go for a sign done in the traditional way, rather than a plastic mould.”
The swords shown on the shield represent seaxe knives, which were carried by the Anglo Saxons more than 1,000 years ago.
They are shown on the county emblem as curved swords, but Mr Gregg’s design is more angular.
Charles Geddes of the Epping Society said: “The sign needs some slight alterations if it’s going to conform, because it’s based on the Essex and City of London arms.
“I do quite appreciate the active depiction of the stag. Before, it was just standing there and now it’s in the air a little.”
Richard Morris, a verderer for Epping Forest and a member of the Loughton Historical Society, said: “Seaxe knives in fact come in several shapes and sizes, and I therefore think the new sign could be considered representative.
“But if the intention is to show the link with Essex by reproducing their shield, ie three Saxon seaxes on a red background, then the town council should have use the same design as approved by the College of Arms for Essex County Council.”
But even after the alteration, he noticed that the sword of St Paul on the City of London shield, which makes up part of the sign, is on the wrong side of the cross of St George and pointing the wrong way.

Efficiency and the environment at JEC
At the JEC composites fair in March, many of the exhibitors focused on the rising importance of carbon and natural fibres in applications that are both efficient and environmentally friendly. European Plastics News attended the fair to take a look at the applications on show
In March, more than 1,100 brand names showed their wares at the JEC 2011 composites fair in Paris, which this year had a strong focus on efficiency and the environment. Visitors were confronted by these themes right from the get-go, approaching the exhibition hall past a 40m-long, materials-efficient, carbon fibre composite pipe.
This entrance exhibit was produced by CGB Carbon Grossbauteile of Wallerstein, Germany, using T-Igel machinery from Austria based Teufelberger.
CGB managing director Bernd Schottdorf told European Plastics News that the manufacturing process for the pipes is highly efficient, as are CGB's MakroComb honeycomb-backed parts, all "with low scrap". Schottdorf added: "About 90% of the RTM (resin transfer moulding) and SMC processes here at the JEC fair are just playing around with prototypes compared with our technology."
CGB manufactures carbon pipes up to a diameter of 1,000mm and a length of 42.5m for less than €30 per kilogram, he said.
Teufelberger said the cost of incorporating metal connections into CFRP parts with its T-Igel machinery is 60% lower than processes that use staked adhesive joints because the T-Igel method has four, not five, steps, which reduces manufacturing time by 40%.
CFRP technology was also shown at JEC by Paderborn University on the Kunststoff.NRW stand. Prof Thomas Tröster, head of the LiA chair of lightweight automotive construction, showed European Plastics News CFRP/steel technology, which reinforces metal structures and enhances crash performance in automotive applications.
Tröster said partial CFRP reinforcement is most efficient when applied by pressing a CFRP pre-preg with a heated stamping tool into the already formed metal structure, while it is held in a heated mould half. After around two minutes, the semi-cured CFRP polymer bonds the fabric to the metal. Full polymer cure is reached in a second stage, for example by stoving electro-deposition paints to the metal structure.
Paderborn University also displayed examples of CFRP/steel sandwich structures with CFRP placed between the inner and outer steel layers. CFRP's high strength means manufacturers can lower weight as they would have to increase the thickness of steel four or five times to achieve the same strength, says Tröster.
A similar CFRP/steel sandwich construction is used to make a car B-pillar, as outlined in a JEC carbon fibre market forum paper by Dr Uwe Kobs, business analysis and strategic planning director at SGL Carbon.
The B-pillar concept came about thanks to the Benteler-SGL joint venture between Benteler Automotive and Fischer Composite Technology. The JV is aiming to realise a cycle time of 96 seconds, enabling production of 150,000 parts per year, and has already built a test stand with various loads for sill and roof frames.
Similarly, the ZLP centre for lightweight production technology at the DLR German aerospace centre showed an NFS/NVS New Vehicle System part. DLR engineer Arne Stahl described the part as an omega-shaped steel stiffener enveloped by CFRP inner and outer shells to form a closed-ring passenger car mid-frame.
On the NRW stand, the IKV plastics processing institute showed technologies which are designed to improve composites production efficiency, such as flow impregnation, PUR spray impregnation, RTM pre-pregging and gap impregnation.
In another CFRP/metal hybrid, epoxide resin supplier Huntsman and the UK's Bristol University showed a CFRP rim which is applied to a cast magnesium-aluminium alloy wheel hub. This CFRP/metal hybrid wheel won the JEC 2011 sports and leisure category innovation award for NRG Wheels, based in the UK. The rim is fixed to the metal hub with coated titanium fasteners and bonded bushings.
The developers claim the wheel is 40% lighter than conventional wheels, so that a Porsche fitted with the wheels consumes 10% less fuel. The higher impact strength exceeds the necessary limit for conventional cars but the wheels can be used for higher value and performance vehicles, they add.
On the Huntsman stand, the NRG wheels were shown as part of the U-Box electric concept van.
Designed by the D3 consultancy, the van uses basalt and flax fibre composites and new epoxide resins, for fast cycle resin transfer moulding. In polyurethane, the new Vitrox series is also designed for fast cycle RTM of large volume automotive and transport parts.
Flexible organic light emitting diode (OLED) lighting is also integrated within the U-Box composite bodywork.
Huntsman also supplied the Araldite epoxide resin used to make composite structures for a boat which will take part in the 2011 Mini Transat 6.50 transatlantic solo sailing race and which was on display in the JEC product showcase area.
Half of the composites used to make the boat consist of flax versions, made with flax from Belgian producer Lineo. Lineo coated the flax fibres to prevent humidity absorption to increase interfacial bond strength. The manufacturers claim the boat is the first racing vessel to have flax reinforced composites in its construction.
In a JEC bio-based materials forum presentation about the boat, Huntsman Advanced Materials' marketing manager Laurent Pourcheron said: "The coefficient of thermal expansion and elongation at break for flax are close to values for carbon fibre, while flax based composites usually have higher stiffness than glass composites."
Due to high flax fibre composite stiffness, there is potential for weight reduction over glass fibre composites, he added. Flax fibre accounts for 75-80% of the hull and deck reinforcement.
Induction heating technology company RocTool demonstrated how it uses linen fibre fabric to produce iPhone and iPad covers made of fibre-reinforced polyamide 12.
The company uses its 3iTech system to reach a PA12 melt temperature of 200°C in less than a minute before rapidly cooling the material. The covers are then trimmed, varnished and buffed.
RocTool says the technology is the only one of its kind "capable of moulding linen fibre quickly without burning or ruining its mechanical properties".
The company simultaneously launched its new FiberShell trademark to market the EcoFiber covers, alongside Performance Collection carbon fibre versions. The FiberShell cases are sold on the FiberShell website for €45 and €75, depending on size.
RocTool CEO Alexandre Guichard added: "We are thinking of developing the material for use in car interiors, car seat shells, luggage, furniture and electronics industry accessories."
