Detailed Description
GP Mold provides full lifecycle injection molding development and manufacturing solutions for commercial, household, and industrial ice machine equipment manufacturers worldwide. We focus on meeting the mass production needs of components such as water systems, ice storage and transport structures, functional support parts, and control and protection components, ensuring resistance to low temperatures, water corrosion, food contact safety, and precision functionality. We employ a closed-loop engineering development model, utilizing DFM (Design for Manufacturability) review, precision mold structure design, mold flow simulation analysis, cooling and ejection system optimization, and high-standard CNC/EDM/wire cutting manufacturing processes to ensure high-cycle production stability and micron-level fit reliability. GP Mold has the capability to support injection molding equipment from 100T to 1600T, and can provide both aluminum and high-grade steel mold solutions, adapting to production scales ranging from small-batch verification to tens of millions of units. This helps customers shorten verification cycles, reduce mold investment risks, and improve overall yield, with specific optimization for the high-humidity, low-temperature cycles, scale corrosion, and food contact regulations required for ice machine components.
Specifications
GP Mold's ice maker accessory molds are designed with core objectives of low-temperature resistance, hydrolysis resistance, antimicrobial properties, structural strength, and food contact safety. They support various advanced mold architectures, including hot runner, multi-cavity, stack molds, insert molding, overmolding, precision slide core pulling, and high-gloss transparent molding. These molds are suitable for water systems (such as water inlet connectors, water distribution pipes, water pump impellers, water valve housings, drain connectors, and sealing ring inserts), ice storage and transport structures (such as ice storage boxes, ice scoops, ice crusher blade guards, ice pushing racks, ice transport screw end caps, ice outlet guide chutes, and ice baffles), functional support components (such as base brackets, snap connectors, fan brackets, guide rails and sliders, gear components, motor end caps, and wire harness fixing clips), and control and protection components (such as control box housings, circuit board support posts, button panels, sensor mounting bases, insulation partitions, and air guide covers). Mold manufacturing tolerances are stably controlled within ±0.01–0.02mm, ensuring reliable critical assembly fit, uniform wall thickness, controllable weld line strength, precise molding of microchannels and sealing structures, and smooth demolding. We provide independent engineering customized solutions for different ice maker application scenarios, guaranteeing that part molding quality meets the stringent standards of FDA/LFGB/GB 4806 food safety, rapid ice making, and long-term durability.
Product Features
GP Mold prioritizes the use of high-hardness, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and high-polish steels such as 4Cr13, S136/S136H, 718H/738H, H13, and NAK80 in the manufacturing of ice maker accessory molds. This is combined with controlled heat treatment (vacuum quenching/tempering/nitriding) and wear-resistant coatings (PVD/TiN/CrN/hard chrome plating) to ensure that the molds maintain excellent dimensional stability and cavity surface integrity even under long-term high-temperature and high-pressure injection molding cycles and high-humidity, low-temperature corrosive environments. The compatible molding materials system covers general plastics (PP, ABS, HDPE), engineering plastics (PA66, POM, PC/ABS alloy, PBT, PA12, TPU/TPE), and high-performance ice maker grade materials (glass fiber reinforced materials such as PP+GF15-30%, PA66+GF, low-temperature high-toughness PC/PETG, hydrolysis-resistant/antimicrobial modified materials, food-grade FDA/LFGB/GB 4806 certified materials, low-friction self-lubricating POM, wear-resistant and cold-resistant UHMW-PE/TPU, flame-retardant V-0/HB grade and antibacterial and antistatic formulations). Mold surface treatment strictly follows SPI/SPE standards (A-1/A-2 grade mirror high-gloss, B grade semi-gloss, C grade matte polishing), and supports VDI texture, laser etching, sandblasting, mold chrome plating, mirror polishing, anti-stick coatings, and local reinforced cooling with beryllium copper inserts to ensure smooth water channels, scratch resistance of ice trays, and stable and consistent surface quality of transparent windows. We provide mold delivery and verification capabilities that comply with ISO 9001, FDA, LFGB, GB 4806, and other standards, and support cleanroom production environments (Class 7–8) and a traceable material batch management system.

Exceptional Precision

GP Mold leverages high-precision machining centers and multi-dimensional inspection systems (CMM, 3D scanning, visual inspection, T1 mold trial data acquisition) to achieve consistent control of mold cavities, cores, microchannels, sealing insert positioning, snap-fit ​​structures, venting grooves, and parting lines. We possess extensive processing experience in multi-cavity ice trays, precision micro-holes in water distribution pipelines, low-temperature ice storage boxes, and overmolded sealing ring molds. This ensures stable mold tolerances, uniform wall thickness, and balanced melt filling, preventing air entrapment, short shots, sink marks, warping, stress whitening, and surface cracking, thereby significantly improving validation speed and mass production yield.

Customization Capabilities

GP Mold employs a "one-project, one-solution" mold development strategy, providing precisely customized mold solutions based on customer product design, food contact regulations, low-temperature operating conditions, usage scenarios, and production capacity requirements. Our engineering team is involved from the initial design stage, providing DFM optimization suggestions, focusing on anisotropic shrinkage at low temperatures, uniform mold temperature (±1℃ accuracy), and optimized gating system and hot runner design. We independently customize the mold structure, mold temperature control circuit, cooling plan, ejection design, and surface treatment solutions, ensuring the mold has stable scalability during both trial production and mass production phases.

Enhanced Durability

GP Mold's mold material system and heat treatment solutions significantly enhance the durability of molds in ice maker accessory production scenarios. Through high-hardness, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant steel and advanced coating processes, the molds reliably withstand thermal cycling, scale corrosion, frequent opening and closing, and high-cycle mass production conditions, reducing common failure risks such as cavity corrosion, wear, cracking, and deformation. This helps customers achieve longer mold life and lower overall maintenance costs.

Efficient Production

We optimize the molding cycle through CAE mold flow simulation (with particular attention to low-temperature crystallization and shrinkage prediction), hot runner system design, efficient mold temperature control engineering, and anti-corrosion conformal cooling circuits, ensuring the mold has high-cycle production capabilities on the customer's injection molding platform. Through precise planning of gate location, venting system, and cooling system, we can shorten cooling time, improve part dimensional stability, and reduce internal stress and scrap rate, thereby directly increasing customer productivity, lowering unit costs, and ensuring consistent long-term mass production.

Quality Assurance

GP Mold operates under an ISO 9001 certified system, implementing strict quality control and data recording at every stage, from raw material incoming inspection and mold processing to assembly, T1 mold trial verification, pilot production, and mass production. We conduct comprehensive testing on the molds, including durability, filling, demolding, thermal stability, venting effectiveness, and full-dimensional functional verification (including total migration testing, low-temperature impact resistance, and thermal cycling simulation), ensuring that they meet global food safety and performance standards for ice maker components before formal delivery. We also support full-process traceability management of parts production and international logistics delivery capabilities.
