Multi-cavity cutlery molds are widely used in the manufacturing of plastic or metal cutlery, such as spoons, forks, and knives. These molds allow multiple pieces to be produced simultaneously, improving efficiency and consistency in mass production. Understanding the classifications of these molds helps manufacturers select the most suitable type for their production needs and product designs.

Based on the Number of Cavities

Multi-cavity cutlery molds are often classified according to the number of cavities they contain. Low-cavity molds typically have 2 to 8 cavities, which are suitable for smaller production runs or specialized designs. Medium-cavity molds may have 10 to 20 cavities, balancing production efficiency and flexibility. High-cavity molds, containing 30 or more cavities, are used for large-scale production where high output is required. The number of cavities directly affects cycle time and overall productivity, allowing manufacturers to choose a mold based on their production goals.

Based on Mold Structure

Another classification is based on mold structure. Single-level molds have all cavities on one plane, making them simpler to design and maintain. Stacked or multi-level molds feature cavities arranged in multiple layers, allowing more pieces to be produced within the same machine cycle. This structure is particularly beneficial when working with high-volume production lines, as it maximizes the output without increasing the footprint of the molding machine.

Based on Production Method

Multi-cavity cutlery molds can also be classified by production method. Injection molds are the most common, used for plastics and offering high precision and uniformity. Compression or die-casting molds are used for metal cutlery, providing durability and strength. Each type is selected based on the material, product requirements, and expected production volume, ensuring efficient and high-quality manufacturing.
