Provincial-level New Industrial Product – Modular Design-Based Multi-Cavity Test Kit Mold

SINOMOULD “Modular Test Kit Mould” Recognised as Zhejiang Provincial New Industrial Product

In 2025, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology (Zhejiang EITD) organised expert review and appraisal for provincial‑level new industrial products. SINOMOULD’s self‑developed “Modular Test Kit Injection Mould” successfully passed the review and was recognised as a Zhejiang Provincial New Industrial Product. As the competent authority for the industrial and information technology sectors in Zhejiang Province, the “Provincial New Industrial Product” designation requires that the product demonstrates clear technological leadership in performance, structure, materials, and processes; breaks through bottlenecks in the “Six Industrial Foundations” and resolves “bottleneck” issues; reaches a technological level of at least advanced provincial level; and has mature technology, reliable quality, and clear intellectual property rights – with stringent evaluation standards and high recognition value. This marks another important technological breakthrough for SINOMOULD in the medical packaging mould field.

Modular Innovative Design – Breaking Import Dependence

In the field of in‑vitro diagnostic test kit moulds, traditional moulds are typically custom‑made for a single product specification. When customers switch between different product specifications, they need to purchase an entire new set of moulds – resulting in high procurement costs and long lead times. SINOMOULD’s self‑developed modular test kit mould adopts an innovative insert‑interchange system, for which it has been granted an invention patent (Publication No. CN118650816A). This invention uses a multi‑cavity small‑insert configuration, replacing large traditional inserts with an array of small inserts. During machining, the small inserts enable effective control of machining accuracy, reduce repetitive machining costs, and allow simultaneous machining of multiple inserts – significantly shortening delivery lead times.

A single mould can achieve different cavity configurations by changing inserts, matching the production needs of different test kit specifications. This modular design concept provides an innovative solution for the standardised and flexible production of test kit moulds, effectively breaking through the long‑standing industry bottleneck of high customisation and poor versatility in the medical mould field.

Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement for Customers – Shortened Delivery Lead Times

In the medical consumables industry, mould procurement cost and delivery lead time directly affect a company’s market response speed. SINOMOULD’s modular test kit mould, through insert‑interchange technology, allows customers to produce different product specifications with just one mould base by changing inserts – significantly reducing mould procurement costs and mould inventory costs, while also substantially shortening product delivery lead times. With many years of development experience in the medical mould field, SINOMOULD can provide complete test kit mould solutions, with delivery within 35 days after prepayment.

Precision Quality Control – Meeting the Stringent Standards of Medical Devices

Provincial New Industrial Product designation requires that the product has reliable quality, good performance, and has been tested by a statutory inspection and testing institution. SINOMOULD’s modular test kit mould adopts a multi‑cavity design, combined with a multi‑drop hot runner system to achieve runner‑free injection molding – saving raw materials and ensuring part quality. The mould cavity count can be flexibly configured from 16 to 64 cavities, using a pin‑point gate hot runner system suitable for medical‑grade plastic materials such as ABS. The cavity and core use S136 steel, and the mould base uses 4Cr13 pre‑hardened steel, with cavity and core hardness reaching HRC 50‑52 and mould service life up to 5 million shots. Mould components are compatible with DME/HASCO standards, meeting the stringent requirements of the medical device industry for mould precision and stability.

Validity and Ongoing Compliance

According to the management requirements of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, the provincial new industrial product evaluation result is valid for three years from the date of publication. Recognised enterprises must report annual economic and social benefit indicators within the validity period and accept ongoing tracking evaluation. SINOMOULD will continue to follow up on the reporting requirements, ensuring that the product’s economic and social benefit indicator data remain complete and traceable.

This recognition as a Provincial New Industrial Product is a concentrated reflection of SINOMOULD’s technical strength in modular design and precision manufacturing of medical moulds, marking a solid step forward in breaking import dependence and promoting the domestic production of medical moulds.
