- The mold manufacturing process and product material selection
Wire EDM (Slow‑Cutting): Capable of producing micro‑holes and narrow slots as fine as 0.03 mm. For thin‑walled bowl designs, this precision eliminates deformation risks during injection and ejection.
EDM with High‑Precision Electrode Manufacturing: In‑house electrode fabrication and spark erosion ensure that complex cavity geometries are reproduced flawlessly.
1.2 Injection Molding Machine Fleet
Servo‑Hydraulic and All‑Electric Machines: Clamping force range from 30 tons to 400 tons covers small‑size to large‑diameter children’s bowls, from single‑cavity prototyping to high‑volume multi‑cavity production.
Servo‑Motor Drive Technology: Repeatability accuracy of ±0.1％, meaning every bowl you receive is identical to the first sample—no dimensional drift across million‑run batches.
Cold Runner Systems: LSR is injected through temperature‑controlled runner channels that prevent premature curing. This closed‑loop system eliminates operator contact and environmental contamination, critical for food‑contact products.
-
Inspection & Metrology Equipment
Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM): Every mold shipped undergoes a full dimensional report. Key dimensions are documented with CPK ≥ 1.33, ensuring statistical process capability before production even begins.
Optical Image Measurement System: High‑magnification inspection of surface finishes, gate vestiges, and sink marks ensures cosmetic quality meets SPI standards.
What This Means for You: Your bowl‘s safety and quality are engineered into every cavity, not just inspected after defects occur. We don’t hope for good parts; we guarantee them through equipment capability.
Section 2: Mold Manufacturing Core Competencies – Metrics That Matter
A mold is not a block of steel—it‘s your revenue generator. Ansix Tech builds molds that deliver long life, absolute precision, rapid delivery, and predictable maintenance costs.
2.1 Mold Life & Steel Selection
Mold Component Steel Grade Hardness Customer Value
Mold Base P20 / 1.2311 / 718 28–32 HRC Structural stability for millions of cycles
Cavity / Core S136 / 1.2083 (Martensitic Stainless) 48–52 HRC Corrosion resistance against LSR acidic byproducts, high‑polish finish for easy demolding
Wear Components H13 / 1.2344 / SKD61 / 8407 48–52 HRC High thermal stability for fast‑cycle production
High‑Polished Surfaces (transparent bowls) NAK80 38–41 HRC Mirror finish (Ra ≤ 0.05μm), perfect for clear silicone aesthetics
Performance Guarantee: For children’s bowl LSR molding, Ansix Tech guarantees over 1,000,000 mold cycles with proper maintenance. The combination of ESR‑grade stainless steel (e.g., Stavax, M340) and DLC or nitriding surface coatings provides exceptional resistance to LSR‑induced corrosion and wear.
2.2 Achievable Tolerances
Standard structural features: ±0.05 mm
Critical sealing lips / snap‑fit geometries: ±0.02 mm
High‑gloss cosmetic surfaces: Ra < 0.10 μm
2.3 Mold Types & Gating Strategies
Cold Runner / Pinpoint Gate Systems: Ideal for LSR, minimizing material waste and eliminating runner scrap. Each shot goes directly into the bowl cavity.
Mold Flow Analysis (MFA) Using Moldflow / Moldex3D: We simulate filling, packing, and cooling to predict knit‑lines, air trap locations, and sink marks. Gates are positioned to achieve balanced filling, eliminating weak spots and cosmetic defects.
Multi‑Cavity Configurations: 4‑cavity to 16‑cavity layouts maximize output per cycle while maintaining cavity‑to‑cavity consistency.
2.4 Cooling / Water Circuit Design
Proprietary conformal cooling channels are machined directly into the cavity block, reducing cycle time by 15–25% compared to conventional drilled circuits. Our cooling systems maintain cavity temperature uniformity within ±2°C, preventing warpage and inconsistent curing.
2.5 Ejection System Design
LSR’s low tear strength (typically 11–38 kN/m) requires careful ejection design. We use large‑area stripper plates rather than small ejector pins to distribute ejection force evenly, preventing part deformation.
2.6 Lead Time Standards
Mold Complexity Standard Lead Time Rush Option
Simple single‑cavity 15 working days 10 days
Medium 2‑4 cavity 25–35 working days 20 days
Complex multi‑cavity 35–45 working days 30 days
Rush service includes parallel processing of mold design, steel preparation, and CNC machining without compromising T1 trial validation.
Section 3: Raw Material Selection & Properties for Children‘s Bowls
3.1 Approved Food‑Contact LSR Grades
Ansix Tech works exclusively with certified food‑grade LSR suppliers to ensure compliance and performance:
Material Grade Key Properties Customer Value
Wacker ELASTOSIL® LR 5040/45 A/B Shore A 45, tear strength 11 N/mm, tensile 9 N/mm², max. volatiles 0.4%; meets FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 & BfR XV No post‑cure required – eliminates secondary baking, reduces cost and lead time
Wacker ELASTOSIL® LR 3003/20 TR A/B Shore A 21±3, temperature range –55°C to +210°C, high transparency Ideal for soft, clear bowls requiring baby‑skin softness
Dow SILASTIC™ NPC 9300 Series Low volatility, high strength, formulated for infant care, no post‑cure required Meets EN 1400, EN 14350‑2 standards for baby feeding products
Wacker ELASTOSIL® LR 3071/50 US A/B Non‑post‑cure, low VOC, replaces 100% fossil‑based raw materials with sustainable biomass Cost effectiveness + sustainability – reduces carbon footprint without premium pricing
3.2 Why Platinum‑Catalyzed (Addition‑Cure) LSR?
Children’s bowls must be manufactured using platinum‑cured LSR, not peroxide‑cured solid silicone. Platinum curing produces no harmful volatile residues, no odor, and yields parts that pass FDA and LFGB standards easily. In contrast, peroxide‑cured silicone may leave chemical byproducts unsuitable for baby products.
3.3 Material Compliance Summary
Ansix Tech provides full material traceability, including:
FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 Rubber Articles Intended for Repeated Use
LFGB (German Food and Feed Code) – the world‘s strictest food‑contact standard
EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004
BfR Recommendation XV Silicones
EN 1400 (Baby soothers – safety requirements)
REACH / RoHS compliance
Section 4: DFM / Mold Flow Analysis – Designing Out Risk Before Steel Is Cut
4.1 Pre‑Project Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Report
Before manufacturing begins, Ansix Tech provides a comprehensive DFM report including:
Wall thickness optimization: LSR flows best at uniform wall thickness. We identify thick‑to‑thin transitions that could cause sink marks or incomplete filling.
Draft angle recommendations: Minimum 1–2° per side for smooth demolding without surface marring.
Gate location mapping: Moldflow analysis pre‑determines optimal gate positions to avoid weld‑lines on visible surfaces.
Ejector mark placement: Marks are positioned on non‑visible surfaces (e.g., bowl underside) to preserve cosmetic appearance.
4.2 Mold Flow Analysis Outputs
Using Moldflow and Moldex3D simulation software, we:
Predict filling patterns at <2% fill imbalance across multi‑cavity tools
Identify and eliminate air trap locations with optimized venting design
Visualize weld‑line positions and adjust processing parameters to minimize visibility
Simulate shrinkage behavior to compensate for post‑mold dimensional changes
Customer Value: You don‘t pay for trial‑and‑error. We fix design issues digitally, saving you 30–60 days of prototype iterations and tens of thousands of dollars in unnecessary rework.
4.3 T1 through T3 Validation Protocol
Trial Phase Activity Deliverable
T1 (first shot) First sample inspection with full dimensional report Issues identified; corrective action plan
T2 (corrected) Validation of all geometry and appearance CPK analysis for critical features
T3 (final) Process window validation with customer sign‑off Production approval; mold release
We provide sample parts at each stage along with CPK data, allowing you to make informed decisions before committing to full production.
Section 5: LSR Injection Molding – Process Optimization for Efficiency & Quality
5.1 LSR Injection Molding Process Breakdown
Step 1 – Material Feeding & Metering: A/B components are pumped from sealed drums at a precise 1:1 ratio via high‑accuracy metering pumps, ensuring exact stoichiometric balance.
Step 2 – Static Mixing & Coloring: Through static mixer elements, A and B are homogeneously blended at the molecular level. Food‑grade color pastes are introduced at this stage if required.
Step 3 – Injection: Mixed LSR is injected through a cold runner system into a heated mold (160–200°C). The cold runner prevents premature curing in the nozzle, while the hot cavity triggers rapid vulcanization.
Step 4 – Curing (Vulcanization): Platinum‑catalyzed crosslinking occurs in 10–50 seconds, depending on bowl wall thickness. Cure times are 5–10× faster than compression molding.
Step 5 – Demolding & Take‑out: Servo‑driven robotic arms extract finished bowls and place them onto cooling conveyors, preventing manual handling contamination.
Step 6 – Post‑Processing (if needed): For certain LSR grades requiring post‑cure, we operate forced‑air ovens at 200°C for 4 hours to stabilize mechanical properties.
5.2 Key Injection Parameters for Children‘s Bowls
Parameter Typical Range Why It Matters
Mold temperature 160–200°C Faster cure = shorter cycle time
Injection pressure 50–150 bar Low pressure prevents flash but ensures full cavity fill
Injection speed Medium–high Avoids jetting and premature skin formation
Curing time 10–50 sec (based on 2–4 mm wall) Optimized for strength vs. throughput
Shot size accuracy ±0.1 g Consistent bowl weight part‑to‑part
5.3 Typical Process Defects & Ansix Solutions
Defect Root Cause Ansix Solution
Sink marks Thick sections cool slower than thin walls Conformal cooling channels + optimized gate location.
Flash (excess material) Poor mold closure or excessive injection pressure 0.005 mm parting line fit + low‑pressure injection profiles.
Air traps / bubbles Inadequate venting Mold flow‑driven vent placement; dynamic vacuum assist.
Incomplete fill Low shot volume or insufficient injection speed Real‑time shot volume monitoring with automatic compensation.
Surface contamination Non‑food‑safe mold release agents Chromium‑nitride coated cavities eliminate need for mold release sprays.
5.4 Cycle Time Optimization
Typical cycle time for a 4‑cavity children‘s bowl mold (2 mm wall thickness, 150 mm diameter) runs 25–35 seconds. Through:
Conformal cooling (20–25％ cycle reduction)
Optimized injection speeds (10％ reduction)
Robotic handling synchronized with machine cycle (5–10％ reduction)
Result: Multi‑cavity 8‑cavity tools achieve 800–1,200 finished bowls per hour. For annual volumes of 1‑5 million units, per‑part cost ranges from
0.15–0.35 USD, far below injection‑molded plastic alternatives.
5.5 Process Parameter Locking & MES Integration
All machine parameters (temperature, pressure, injection speed, cure time) are locked in MES systems with engineer‑only authorization. Changes require documented approval. This ensures:
Batch‑to‑batch repeatability: Every shift produces identical bowls
Traceability: Full process history for each batch
Audit readiness: Complete records for FDA / LFGB inspections
Section 6: Quality Control & Assurance – Preventing Defects, Not Just Finding Them
6.1 In‑Process Quality Control (IPQC)
Check Point Method Acceptance Criteria

6.2 Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Critical parameters are monitored continuously:
Cavity pressure sensors – detect filling inconsistencies in real time
Mold temperature sensors – ensure ±2°C cavity uniformity
Shot weight monitoring – ±0.1 g tolerance for consistent material usage
When trends deviate from control limits, alerts trigger immediate corrective action before non‑conforming parts are produced.
6.3 Cosmetic & Functional Testing for Children‘s Bowls
