Product Overview
We are a direct mould factory specializing in customized plastic basket injection mold. This 1×2 cavity plastic basket injection mold adopts full hot runner system specially optimized for PP raw material, two baskets finished per single injection cycle to lift production efficiency greatly. Core and cavity of the injection mold adopt premium H13 hot work steel, heat treated to HRC48-52 for outstanding wear resistance and thermal stability during long-cycle PP continuous production. The mold inner cavity is processed with standard VDI27 mold finish, delivering uniform fine grain appearance on finished PP basket without obvious flow lines or molding defects.
As a direct mould factory, we optimize hot runner channel layout to balance PP melt filling, effectively reduce material waste from cold runner scrap and shorten molding cycle time. This plastic basket injection mold fits mass production of small storage baskets, supermarket accessory baskets and household plastic baskets made of PP homopolymer or copolymer.

Key Advantages of This Plastic Basket Injection Mold
1. Direct Mould Factory Cost Advantage
As direct mould factory without middleman markup, we control full process from mold design, CNC machining, EDM to mold trial. Customers get competitive factory price and shorter lead time for plastic basket injection mold customization.
2. Hot Runner Structure for PP Basket Molding
Hot runner eliminates traditional cold runner waste, saves PP raw material cost obviously. Balanced hot runner design ensures even PP melt flow into every corner of basket cavity, avoiding short shot, uneven wall thickness and deformation common on thin-wall PP baskets. Cycle time is shortened to improve hourly output.
3. H13 HRC48-52 High Hardness Mold Steel
H13 owns excellent heat resistance and abrasion performance. After quenching to HRC48-52, the plastic basket injection mold resists thermal fatigue under repeated high-temperature PP injection, keeps cavity dimension stable and extends long mold service life for mass production.
4. Standard VDI27 Mold Finish
VDI27 is popular industry grain finish for daily plastic goods. This texture forms consistent matte grain surface on PP basket, hides minor molding marks and upgrades product exterior grade without additional post surface treatment.
5. Optimized Cavity Draft for Smooth Demolding
We set reasonable draft angle on basket sidewall during mold design, matched with PP shrinkage rate, so finished PP basket drops out smoothly after ejection with no scratch or stuck issue.
Application
The PP basket from this injection mold is widely used in household storage, supermarket retail parts, electronic component storage, cosmetic packing small baskets and daily disposable plastic containers.
FAQ
Q1: What benefits of hot runner for PP plastic basket injection mold?
A1: Hot runner cuts PP runner waste to save raw cost, speeds up injection cycle and improves basket filling uniformity, ideal for large-volume basket orders.
Q2: Why choose H13 HRC48-52 steel for plastic basket mold?
A1: H13 features good heat shock resistance; HRC48-52 hardness improves anti-wear capacity, keeping VDI27 grain intact and stable mold precision in long-term PP mass production.
Q3: What’s VDI27 finish effect on PP basket?
A1: VDI27 creates uniform fine matte grain surface, covers slight flow marks and improves hand feel of finished PP baskets.
Q4: Can direct mould factory modify basket size or cavity quantity?
A4: Yes, as direct mould factory, we customize basket dimension, wall thickness, cavity number (1/2/4 cavities) and surface grain based on your drawings or samples.
Q5: Is this mold available for filled PP material?
A5: It works well for regular PP; we can upgrade mold structure and steel option if you use talc-filled or glass-filled PP.
