Steam Iron Plastic Power Cord Bush Mould and Moulding Service

Product Overview

Steam Iron Plastic Power Cord Bush Mould and Moulding Service is used for manufacturing precision plastic cord bushes designed for steam irons. The power cord bush is installed where the electrical power cord enters or exits the iron housing and helps protect the cord from abrasion, sharp edges, excessive bending, and mechanical stress.

The cord bush can be manufactured according to specific cord diameter, housing opening, cable routing, retention features, bend radius, mounting method, wall thickness, material, colour, and steam iron design using precision plastic injection moulding.

Manufacturing Process

The Steam Iron Plastic Power Cord Bush is manufactured using the plastic injection moulding process. Selected plastic granules are fed into an injection moulding machine and heated to the required processing temperature.

The molten plastic is injected into a precision-engineered mould cavity containing the required cord opening, external profile, retention features, and housing interface. Controlled cooling allows the plastic to solidify into the required shape.

After cooling, the mould opens and the finished power cord bush is ejected. The moulded component is inspected for internal diameter, external dimensions, cord fit, housing retention, flexibility, surface finish, flash, sink marks, and warpage.

Mould Manufacturing Process

The mould is designed according to the required product drawing or 3D CAD model. Particular attention is given to the internal cord passage, external bush profile, housing interface, retention features, bend-support geometry, wall thickness, draft angles, parting line, cooling channels, and ejection mechanism.

Suitable mould steel such as P20, H13, or S136 can be selected according to production volume, component complexity, mould life, and required surface finish.

Mould components are manufactured using CNC machining, EDM, drilling, grinding, polishing, and precision fitting. After mould assembly, trial moulding is performed to verify filling, cooling, ejection, cord fit, housing retention, dimensions, flexibility, surface appearance, and assembly compatibility.

Raw Materials

Suitable materials may include:

• TPE

• TPU

• Nylon

• PA66

• PP

• ABS

• PBT

• PC

• Flexible engineering plastics

• Heat-resistant plastic grades

• Flame-retardant grades where required

Material selection depends on flexibility, abrasion resistance, mechanical strength, temperature exposure, electrical appliance requirements, dimensional stability, and cable protection requirements.

Quality Control

The Power Cord Bush can be inspected for:

• Overall dimensions

• Internal cord diameter

• External diameter

• Wall thickness

• Cord fit

• Housing opening fit

• Retention feature accuracy

• Bend-support geometry

• Flexibility

• Surface finish

• Product weight

• Flash and burrs

• Warpage

• Cracks and sink marks

• Assembly compatibility

Production Capacity

Production capacity depends on mould cavity count, injection moulding machine capacity, product weight, cycle time, cooling time, plastic material, and machine operating efficiency.

For example, an 8-cavity mould operating with a 20-second cycle time can theoretically produce approximately 1,440 pieces per hour, before accounting for downtime, inspection, material changes, and other production losses.

Actual production capacity depends on the final power cord bush design, mould configuration, machine specifications, material, and operating conditions.

Buyer Guide

When ordering a Steam Iron Plastic Power Cord Bush Mould and Moulding Service, buyers should provide the product drawing or 3D CAD model, power cord diameter, housing opening dimensions, required bend protection, retention method, mounting details, material requirements, operating temperature, colour, surface finish, expected production quantity, and assembly specifications.

These details help determine the appropriate mould design, mould steel, cavity configuration, plastic material, and injection moulding machine.
