Key Molding Tools
Mouldpro’s line of soft tools includes:
- High-quality bronze pliers ideal for removing sprues or working on the mold. The strong but soft forged design means reduced risk of scratching the surface. The pliers are available as straight needle nose, angled needle nose (in two different sizes) and side cutters.
- Brass non-scratching scrapers that will not damage the mold surface when molders need to remove stuck plastic sprues or molded parts. This line is available with flat and angled blades.
- The line of brass hand tools is manufactured from high-grade brass. These tools ensure molders can safely work on mold tools without damaging the mold surface and are ideal for removing frozen sprues or stuck parts. The tips are supplied blunt and may be shaped to suit specific requirements.
- The knock-out bar is a simple but effective tool that combines a tough steel rod with threaded brass replaceable tips that prevent damage to the mold surface. The quickly replaced threaded brass tip ensures that the rod never gets too short or wears out and minimizes the risk of burning.
- Deburring tools include the ceramic knife-work finisher. Ideal for curved and complicated shapes, these tools excel on ultra-hard resins like glass-fiber, carbon-fiber and talc filled plastics. Also, it can be used on soft metals like aluminum, copper and brass. Other key features include space age ceramics that make safe deburring possible because of the work finisher’s unique non-blade like edge. In addition, it deburrs hard plastics effortlessly without the fear of cutting hands or fingers in the process. These tools can be used for surface finishing the plastics molding parts—such as very small, very confined areas, a narrow, concave area or complex portion.
- De-burring blades are a light duty tool for fine de-flashing and deburring. It features a plastic handle, removable S10 blade, heavy duty 3.2mm shank and a handy pocket clip.
- Ceramic knives are safe to use for trimming of molded parts. Key features include the ergonomic handle, convex blade ideal for parting line flash, concave blade for curved edges and small ridges. In addition, replaceable blades can be stored in the handle.
- For polishing and abrasives, the company offers a copper gauze that is of knitted copper, 130mm wide x 30m roll.
- A brass hand brush that is ideal for cleaning surfaces without damaging the mold parts.
Mouldpro heated nippers (gate cutters) are handheld tools with built-in heaters for trimming sprues from molded parts. The heater warms the blade edges for easier, crack-free cutting of fragile materials such as acrylics, styrene plastic and glass resins. They are available in a variety of styles include short and long blade lengths, angled blades, and more.
