lM01-03-lnjection molded rice cooker shell

Welcome to our precision plastic injection molded part solution, Model IM01-03—a specialized component engineered for aesthetic-structural integration in white goods and kitchen appliance sectors. As illustrated in the accompanying images, this part features a sleek brown polymer housing with integrated rib-reinforced structures, precision-molded mounting bosses, and snap-fit assembly interfaces, making it ideal for applications like rice cooker lids, smart kitchen appliance casings, and household device enclosures. Our engineering team has optimized IM01-03 to meet the stringent demands of industries where visual appeal, dimensional accuracy, and thermal resistance converge: the part’s wall thickness is controlled within ±0.12mm, and the functional features (visible in the images) are positioned with ±0.06mm tolerance—critical for seamless integration of heating elements, sensors, and control modules in high-temperature environments. Whether you’re a white goods manufacturer sourcing durable yet stylish components or a kitchen appliance brand needing precision-molded enclosures, IM01-03 delivers a solution that merges complex molding requirements with consumer-ready design.

• Materials: Primarily utilizes PBT+GF20 (2.0–3.0mm thickness) for its excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, and chemical compatibility—ideal for the part’s exposure to high temperatures and food-grade environments. Optional materials include ABS (for cost-sensitive applications), PC/ABS (for enhanced impact resistance), or PP (for lightweight designs). All materials undergo heat deflection testing (≥150°C for PBT+GF20) and tensile strength verification (≥55 MPa for PBT+GF20).
  
  
• Production Process: Combines 6-cavity hot runner injection molds to produce the part’s complex geometry (including the rib-reinforced structures and mounting bosses visible in the images) with post-molding automated vision inspection for dimensional conformance and surface quality. The injection process achieves dimensional tolerances of ±0.12mm, while the functional features’ positioning is controlled within ±0.06mm. Fully automated production lines integrate these processes, with in-line thermal cycling testing to verify heat resistance.
  
  
• Surface Treatment: Supports high-gloss painting (custom RAL colors) to match kitchen appliance branding, texture molding (for slip resistance in handling zones), or laser marking (for product identification and instructions). All surface treatments undergo abrasion resistance testing (≥800 cycles for painted surfaces) and food-grade compliance verification (FDA standards for PBT+GF20 variants).
  
  
• Mold Development Cycle: 6 weeks for standard IM01-03 molds, with expedited 5.5-week turnaround for modifications to color, rib patterns, or functional feature layouts—essential for aligning with rapid product iterations in white goods and kitchen appliance sectors.
  
  
• Sample Delivery Time: 7.5 weeks for standard samples (including mold development); 6 weeks for modified designs using existing tooling. Samples include a dimensional conformance report (verified against the images’ prototypes with ±0.12mm tolerance for the polymer body and ±0.06mm for functional features) and thermal resistance test results.
  
  
• Quality System: Compliant with IATF 16949, with specialized checks for IM01-03: each part undergoes 100% vision inspection for cosmetic defects, dimensional measurement, and thermal cycling testing.
  
  
• Production Advantage: Automated injection molding lines with robotic part handling and AI-powered vision systems inspect every part for surface flaws, dimensional errors, and feature alignment—ensuring the parts in the images are representative of all units produced. This automation achieves a defect rate of <0.04%, far below industry averages for aesthetic-critical white goods components.
  
  
• Minimum Order Quantity: 5,000 pieces for standard configurations; 7,000 pieces for custom material/finish combinations. Custom orders include a design-for-manufacturability analysis to ensure complex features (like the rib networks and snap-fits in the images) are feasible in high-volume production while maintaining cost efficiency.

Model IM01-03 leverages its precision-engineered design (visualized in the images) to deliver unique advantages:

• Aesthetic-Structural Integration: The high-gloss brown finish (seen in the images) meets modern kitchen appliance design trends, while the integrated rib-reinforced structure provides 25% weight reduction compared to solid designs without compromising strength (≥30kg static load). Snap-fit interfaces enable tool-free assembly, reducing production costs by 20% compared to screw-based alternatives.
  
  

• Heat Resistance & Food Safety: PBT+GF20 construction (as shown in the images) offers excellent heat resistance (up to 150°C) and compatibility with food-grade cleaning agents—critical for rice cookers, steamers, and other kitchen devices. It also withstands repeated thermal cycling (-20°C to 150°C) without dimensional distortion.
  
  

• Precision Dimensional Control: Hot runner injection and AI vision inspection ensure the part’s wall thickness uniformity (±0.12mm) and functional feature accuracy (±0.06mm)—essential for aligning heating elements, sensors, and control panels in kitchen appliances.
  
  

• Rapid Customization & Design Flexibility: Our team can modify material types, color schemes, rib patterns, or surface finishes in as little as 5 weeks—enabling clients to adapt IM01-03 to new product launches, such as next-gen smart rice cookers or multi-function kitchen devices.
  
  

• Cost-Effective Scalability: 6-cavity mold production (100+ parts per hour) and automated inspection drive down unit costs for large orders. For volumes of 10,000+ pieces, IM01-03’s cost decreases by 22%, making it a competitive choice for both premium kitchen appliances and mass-market white goods.

Model IM01-03’s precision design (as depicted in the images) makes it a versatile solution across sectors:

• White Goods & Kitchen Appliances: Deployed as rice cooker lids (where the heat resistance and snap-fit design ensure reliable sealing and easy maintenance) and smart steamer casings (the high-gloss finish aligns with modern appliance aesthetics). It meets durability standards (5,000+ cycles of opening/closing testing).
  
  

• Household Devices: Used as air fryer enclosures (the PBT+GF20 material withstands high temperatures and oil exposure) and water purifier structural components (for filter housing, where chemical resistance and precision dimensions are critical).
  
  

• Commercial Kitchen Equipment: Ideal for small commercial rice cooker parts (the food-grade compliance and heat resistance meet restaurant demands) and coffee machine component frames (the snap-fits allow quick disassembly for cleaning).
  
  

• Other Industries: Utilized in medical device accessory casings (custom-colored variants for diagnostic equipment peripherals) and educational appliance structures (where the material safety and structural integrity are paramount). Its flexibility in customization, from material to finish, makes it suitable for niche aesthetic-structural applications.
  
  

In every application, IM01-03’s precision-engineered design—exemplified by the images’ rib-reinforced brown polymer housing, precision mounting bosses, and snap-fit interfaces—sets a new benchmark for parts that demand both visual appeal and reliable performance in modern manufacturing.
