Real IML yoghurt cup project
A controlled delivery route connects mould-base preparation, hardened working steel, five-axis geometry, precision finishing, hot runner assembly and production validation.
Visual engineering record
Each section links a real Hengqi image with the engineering purpose it supports. Buyers can understand what is reviewed, what is manufactured and what evidence is checked before delivery.
01 / Product and DFM
The team reviews capacity, wall thickness, resin, label area, rim, stacking, machine platform, cavity target and cycle requirement before the mould structure is released.
Early decisions define the later hot runner, cooling, ejection and automation interfaces, so the project cannot be shortened by skipping product engineering.
02 / Mould base
Mould plates and reference faces establish the dimensional foundation for every later operation.
Plate preparation, drilling, cooling interfaces and locating features follow the released mould design and planned assembly relationships.
03 / Core steel route
Core, cavity and insert routes are matched to the approved material, heat-treatment and finishing requirements.
Controlled allowance is preserved through rough machining and heat treatment so precision operations begin from a predictable condition.
04 / Five-axis machining
Five-axis machining supports angled features, groove milling and multi-surface contour work while reducing repeated re-clamping.
Protecting the relationship between features gives the following precision-finishing stage a more stable allowance.
05 / Precision finishing
Precision finishing focuses on the component relationships that influence fitting, shut-off, movement and assembly.
The 3μm capability applies to selected critical features under the appropriate geometry, material, process route and measurement conditions.
06 / Assembly and hot runner
Hot runner, cooling circuits, inserts, sliders, ejection and moving interfaces are assembled against the approved design intent.
Assembly feedback is recorded before the mould enters the trial machine, reducing avoidable correction loops during validation.
07 / Trial and samples
Trial work reviews filling balance, product dimensions, IML result, ejection, cycle window and representative samples.
The objective is a validated production result—not only a mould that opens and closes.
60-day delivery roadmap
The reference project used a connected schedule. Final timing is confirmed after the buyer's product and acceptance requirements are reviewed.
Product, mould concept and approval points are confirmed before steel commitment.
Mould base, rough machining, heat treatment and geometry follow a controlled route.
Critical features, component relationships and functional systems are completed.
Production behaviour and samples are reviewed against the agreed requirement.

Sixty days is a real IML yoghurt cup project reference. The confirmed schedule depends on product complexity, cavity count, steel route, hot runner, automation, trial requirements and buyer approval timing.
The project can include the completed mould, trial samples, agreed inspection records, key process information and the documentation defined in the commercial and technical agreement.
Product and mould requirements are reviewed before steel commitment. The buyer confirms the agreed product data, mould concept and project-specific approval points before manufacturing proceeds.
