Mold industry set off a trend of low-carbon environmental protection

In recent years, green design has extended to machinery manufacturing. The mold is the basic process equipment for industrial production. Its level of production technology has become an important indicator of the level of product manufacturing in a country. Therefore, it is more important to promote green design in the mold industry. "Green mold" not only refers to the small impact on the environment when used, but also minimizes the damage to the environment throughout the life cycle from manufacturing to end-of-life. The International Model Association Secretary-General Luo Baihui pointed out at the Guangzhou International Forum on Mould Machinery and Equipment Industry recently that green will be one of the main characteristics of products in the 21st century. Whoever can provide green products to the market will be able to occupy a favorable position in the market competition. Therefore, no matter from the perspective of their own long-term development, or from the perspective of human sustainable development strategy, the company should abandon the traditional design methods, and vigorously strengthen the research and application of green design.

Luo Baihui said that the green mold life cycle and the environment are related to the following stages: design, manufacturing, sales, use, maintenance and service and end-of-life recycling. Green design is to pay full attention to how to reduce its impact on the environment during product development and design.

1, the choice of raw materials. The choice of mold materials is the first step in product design. Therefore, its green degree has a very important influence on the green performance of the product. The choice of materials for green mold design is of great significance to the "greenness level" of the final product. Green design material selection must be based on green materials

2, the recovery of raw materials. The first consideration in green mold design is the recovery of the raw materials used to make the mold. This is because the mold is expensive, and its recycling can greatly save money and energy.

3, the detachable design of the mold. For mold design, detachability is particularly important, because there is a real need to replace the male and female molds to achieve a new product. Non-removable not only results in the waste of a large amount of reusable parts, but also causes serious pollution to the environment due to poor disposal of waste. Detachable design requirements The designed structure is easy to disassemble, easy to maintain, and reusable after the product is scrapped.

4, the use of advanced mold manufacturing technology. It is also very important to choose the manufacturing process that produces the least waste and the lowest energy consumption in the manufacturing process.

The green design is superior to the traditional design method. Although in the short term, its investment is slightly larger than the traditional design, in the long run, if we adopt green design, it will be doubled in terms of energy saving, consumption reduction and efficiency increase.
