Product Overview
This custom injection tooling is specially manufactured for producing HDPE proclad spatulas, a common daily kitchen plasticware. Adopting practical 1*2 cavity layout, the mold is equipped with large sprue and submarine gate runner system to realize smooth melt delivery and hidden gating.
The entire cavity is processed with high-standard glossy finish, making finished spatulas feature bright surface, smooth touch and good stain resistance. Optimized for HDPE raw material, the mold effectively controls shrinkage and warpage, ensuring each product owns uniform wall thickness and durable structure. It is an ideal mold solution for mass production of household plastic spatulas and similar kitchen utensils.

Core Advantages
1. Large Sprue & Submarine Gate System
HDPE has good fluidity while the long and thin spatula structure needs steady material supply. The large sprue ensures fast and full cavity filling, avoiding incomplete molding. Different from side gate or direct gate, submarine gate is hidden at non-appearance area. It automatically breaks during demolding without manual trimming, leaving no obvious traces and perfectly protecting the glossy surface of the spatula.
2. High Glossy Surface for Premium Appearance
The mold cavity undergoes fine polishing to achieve high-gloss effect. Finished HDPE spatulas look bright and neat, with smooth surface that prevents food residue and bacteria growth. This finish meets both aesthetic demands and daily hygiene requirements for kitchen tools.
3. Professional Adaptation for HDPE
HDPE features good toughness, low water absorption and moderate shrinkage rate. We optimize cooling channels and venting structure to match HDPE characteristics. Products will not deform or warp after demolding, and maintain stable size and mechanical performance during long-time use.
4. 1*2 Cavity for Flexible Production
Dual-cavity design improves output compared with single cavity, meanwhile controlling overall tooling cost. It is suitable for small and medium batch production, as well as new product trial runs. Two cavities run synchronously to guarantee consistent weight, size and appearance of all finished spatulas.
5. Durable & Low-Maintenance Tooling
Reasonable runner layout and precise fitting effectively reduce flash, burrs and other common defects. The mold runs stably with low failure rate, cutting down daily maintenance work and production loss. It supports long-cycle mass production and brings stable benefits.

FAQ
Q1: What is the advantage of submarine gate for spatula mold?
A1: It is a hidden gate, leaving nearly invisible marks on products. No need for post trimming, which protects the glossy surface and improves production efficiency.
Q2: Is HDPE material safe for kitchen use?
A2: Yes. Food-grade HDPE is non-toxic, odorless, heat-resistant and easy to clean, widely used for qualified plastic kitchenware.
Q3: Can you customize different shapes of spatulas?
A3: Sure. We offer full customization based on your design drawings, samples and special requirements.
Q4: How long is the service life of this mold?
A4: With proper operation and maintenance, the mold can reach more than 500,000 shots for stable production.
