Applications
Seating the World: Mass Production Excellence
Our armless chair moulds enable manufacturers to produce millions of affordable, durable chairs for venues worldwide.
Event Industry Case Study
A major event rental company in India needed chairs that could:
- Survive outdoor use in monsoon and summer conditions
- Stack 10-high for transport efficiency
- Withstand daily setup/teardown abuse
The Economics of Chair Production
Armless chairs are high-volume, price-sensitive products. Our mould design optimizes:
- Material efficiency: 2.1kg chair weight (vs. 2.5kg industry average)
- Cycle time: 45-55 seconds (vs. 60-70 seconds competitors)
- Mould life: 500,000+ shots with proper maintenance
Global Market Applications
Our chair moulds serve diverse markets:
- Outdoor event seating
- School and educational facilities
- Restaurant and café seating
- Stadium and venue seating
Structural Engineering for Seated Comfort and Durability
Weight Optimization Through Finite Element Analysis
We use FEA to optimize wall thickness throughout the chair:
- Seat surface: 2.5mm (load-bearing area)
- Backrest: 2.0mm (reduced load)
- Legs: 3.0mm (critical stress area)
Stackable Design Engineering
Stackable chairs must balance:- Stack height (storage efficiency)
- Stack stability (safety)
- Nested clearance (prevent jamming)
Our Stack Design Specifications
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Stack height per chair | 65mm |
| Maximum safe stack | 10 chairs |
| Stack stability angle | 5° off-vertical still stable |
| Nest clearance | 3mm all around |
Injection Molding Challenges
Large furniture items like chairs require sophisticated molding:
Hot Runner System Design
- 4-point sequential valve gate injection
- Cascade filling to prevent weld lines on visible surfaces
- Gas counter pressure for surface quality
Cooling System
- Conformal cooling in seat area (critical)
- 24 independent cooling channels
- Target: <10°C temperature variance across part
Why Choose Our Plastic Armless Chair Mould
15% material savings through FEA-optimized design
45-55 second cycle time for maximum productivity
10-chair stackable design with 65mm per chair
4-point sequential injection eliminates visible weld lines
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Plastic Armless Chair Mould
What is the weight capacity of chairs from this mould?
Chairs are designed for 150kg static load with a 1.5x safety factor. Dynamic testing (drop test) passes at 100kg from 200mm height. For heavy-duty applications, we can reinforce critical areas.
How many chairs can be stacked for storage and transport?
Standard stacking is 10 chairs (650mm stack height). For transport, we recommend securing stacks at 8 chairs. The nesting design allows 12 empty chair frames per pallet.
Can UV-resistant material be used?
Yes, the mould is compatible with UV-stabilized PP compounds. We recommend adding 2-3% UV stabilizer for outdoor applications. With proper UV stabilization, chairs maintain color and strength for 5+ years outdoor use.
What cycle time can be achieved?
With optimized cooling and our recommended machine specifications (650T clamp, 1500g shot), cycle times of 45-55 seconds are achievable. First-generation machines may require 60-70 seconds.
Can custom textures be applied to the seat surface?
Yes, we offer standard texture options (leather grain, fine matte, wood grain) or can match custom textures. Textured surfaces hide minor molding imperfections and improve seated comfort.
