Tooling Manufacturing

Top Plastic Injection Moulds Manufacturer in Chennai

Zetford stands as a premier plastic injection mould manufacturer in Chennai, delivering high-precision, durable injection moulds tailored to the exact needs of automotive, electronics, consumer goods, medical, and industrial sectors. With our state-of-the-art toolroom equipped with advanced CNC machining, EDM, wire cutting, surface grinding, and CMM inspection, we design and build custom injection moulds that ensure consistent part quality, minimal cycle times, and extended mould life.

We specialize in a full spectrum of injection mould types, including:

• Automotive Injection Moulds
• Hand Moulds (manual/single-cavity for prototypes and low-volume)
• Single-Cavity Moulds
• Multi-Cavity Moulds (high-efficiency production)
• Family Moulds (multi-part family tools)
• Tools suitable for small tonnage (50T–250T) to high tonnage machines (up to 1000T+) 
  

Our moulds support shot weights from 0.5g to 1000g+ and part sizes up to 500mm x 500mm, using premium mould steels (P20, H13, S136 stainless for corrosion resistance) with options for hardened cores/cavities, hot runners (Hasco/DME/Meusburger standards), and advanced cooling systems.

Automotive Injection Moulds – Precision for Demanding Applications

Our automotive injection moulds are engineered for high-performance plastic components such as interior trims, dashboards, bumpers, connectors, housings, and under-hood parts.

• Capabilities: Complex geometries, tight tolerances (±0.02mm), multi-slide actions, unscrewing mechanisms, and insert moulding integration.
• Features: Balanced hot/cold runner systems, optimized gating for warp-free parts, and IATF 16949-compliant processes.
• Benefits: Reduced cycle times, excellent surface finish, and long tool life (500,000–1,000,000+ shots).

As a trusted automotive injection mould manufacturer in Chennai, we support Tier-1 and OEM suppliers with rapid prototyping to full production tooling.

Hand Moulds – Cost-Effective for Prototyping & Low-Volume Runs

Hand moulds (manual or single-cavity hand-operated tools) are ideal for prototype development, bridge production, or small-batch requirements where full automation isn't justified.

• Applications: Concept validation, functional testing, market trials, and low-volume custom parts.
• Capabilities: Simple single-cavity designs, easy manual demoulding, and quick modifications.
• Advantages: Lower upfront cost, fast lead times (2–4 weeks), and flexibility for design iterations.

We manufacture reliable hand moulds in Chennai using aluminium or pre-hardened steel for economical yet precise results on small-tonnage machines.

Single-Cavity Moulds – Simplicity & Precision for Medium Runs

Single-cavity injection moulds produce one part per cycle, offering straightforward flow control and easier process optimization.

• Ideal For: Medium-volume production, larger/complex parts, or when part design requires focused validation.
• Features: Precise core/cavity alignment, efficient cooling channels, and robust ejection systems.
• Benefits: Lower mould cost than multi-cavity, reduced risk of imbalance issues, and high part consistency.

Perfect for transitioning from prototypes to production on small to medium tonnage presses.

Multi-Cavity Moulds – High-Volume Efficiency & Cost Savings

Multi-cavity injection moulds feature multiple identical cavities (4, 8, 16, 32+), enabling simultaneous production of several parts per shot for maximum throughput.

• Advantages: Significantly lower cost per part, higher output on the same machine, and balanced runner/gating for uniform filling.
• Our Expertise: Flow analysis simulation, precise cavity balancing, and hot-runner integration to eliminate waste.
• Applications: High-volume automotive fasteners, consumer electronics casings, medical disposables, and packaging components.

As experts in multi-cavity mould manufacturing Chennai, we deliver tools that run reliably on high-tonnage machines for mass production.
