Popcorn Maker Plastic Measuring Cup Mould and Moulding Service | Renovator Appliances Ltd

Product Overview

Popcorn Maker Plastic Measuring Cup Mould and Moulding Service is designed for manufacturing precision-moulded plastic measuring cups used with popcorn-making appliances. The measuring cup helps users measure popcorn kernels or other ingredients in a consistent quantity before adding them to the popping chamber.

The cup can be developed according to the required capacity, dimensions, shape, pouring profile, handle configuration, and measurement markings. Since the component may come into contact with food ingredients, an appropriate food-contact grade plastic should be selected and validated according to the intended application and applicable requirements.

Renovator Appliances Ltd provides customized injection mould development and moulding solutions for OEM and bulk production of popcorn maker accessories and plastic appliance components.

Industrial Applications

Manufacturing Process

1. Product Design & Development

The required cup capacity, dimensions, wall thickness, shape, measurement markings, handle, pouring lip, and appliance interface are reviewed during product development. CAD drawings, samples, or technical specifications can be used for customized development.

2. Plastic Mould Design

An injection mould is designed according to the measuring cup geometry and selected material. Draft angles, parting lines, gate location, ejection, cooling, shrinkage, and dimensional stability are considered to achieve consistent production.

3. Mould Manufacturing

The mould can be manufactured using suitable tool steels such as P20 Steel, H13 Steel, or S136 Steel, depending on production volume, surface-finish requirements, material characteristics, and expected mould life.

4. Injection Moulding

Selected plastic granules are melted and injected into the mould cavity under controlled processing conditions. Injection pressure, melt temperature, cooling time, and cycle parameters are optimized to achieve consistent cup dimensions and volume.

5. Finishing & Marking

After moulding, gates and flash are removed. Measurement graduations, logos, product markings, printing, or other secondary operations can be added according to the approved design.

6. Quality Inspection

Finished measuring cups are checked for dimensions, capacity consistency, wall thickness, surface finish, measurement markings, and compatibility with the intended popcorn maker.

Raw Materials

For this product, the final material should be specifically validated for food contact, ingredient compatibility, temperature exposure, cleaning conditions, dimensional stability, and applicable regulatory requirements. A general-purpose plastic grade should not automatically be assumed suitable for food-contact use.

Quality Control

• Raw Material Inspection: Material grade, colour, transparency, and consistency are checked.

• Mould Inspection: Cavity condition, parting line, cooling system, and ejection mechanism are inspected.

• Dimensional Inspection: Cup diameter, height, wall thickness, handle dimensions, and critical interfaces are measured.

• Capacity Inspection: The internal volume is checked to maintain consistent measuring performance.

• Visual Inspection: Parts are checked for flash, short shots, sink marks, scratches, bubbles, black spots, and surface defects.

• Marking Inspection: Measurement graduations, logos, and other markings are checked for clarity and positioning.

• Fitment Inspection: The measuring cup is checked for compatibility with its designated popcorn maker.

• Packaging Inspection: Finished cups are packed to prevent scratches, deformation, and contamination.
