Dual-Color Melamine Tableware Molding Machine
The HCM dual-color melamine tableware molding machine is suitable for inner/outer color designs, rim-color tableware, color blocks, patterned tableware and products that need a higher appearance grade. Stable two-color molding depends on machine movement, mold design, powder-loading order, degassing and holding pressure working together.
HCM combines a cast-iron machine structure, two-stage mold movement, platen heating, degassing and hydraulic holding pressure in one two-color molding press. With cast-iron upper seat, middle seat and lower cylinder base, HCM supports platen alignment and mold stability, helping customers manage color boundary, gloss, flash and multi-cavity consistency.
Key Machine Capabilities
- Two-stage mold movement can be matched to powder placement, color line and mold closing behavior.
- Degassing, holding pressure and platen temperature help control gloss, flash and color-boundary condition.
- Cast-iron upper seat, middle seat and lower cylinder base support long-term mold alignment and pressing stability.
- When mold and product conditions match, HCM can also be configured for suitable single-color products.
Machine Functions and Molding Control
In two-color melamine production, customers care about stable color position, clean color line, good surface gloss and consistent appearance after repeated cycles. HCM uses two-stage mold movement, degassing, holding pressure, platen heating and mold coordination to control how two powder colors flow and compress inside the cavity.
Cast-iron upper seat, middle seat and lower cylinder base support platen alignment and pressing stability. In two-color tableware, that foundation helps protect clean color lines, surface gloss, flash control and multi-cavity consistency during longer production runs.
Two-stage mold movement can be matched to powder placement, product depth and color-block area, helping the two materials enter the pressing condition in the planned order.
Degassing and holding pressure help control air marks, flash, surface gloss and visible color-edge condition so the product can move from trial to continuous production.
HCM is strongest in two-color and color-boundary control, and it can also be configured for suitable single-color melamine products when the mold and product conditions match. This gives factories more flexibility for appearance upgrades, surface gloss control, flash reduction and stable daily output.
Model Range and Specification Selection
The HCM series includes HCM-150, HCM-200, HCM-300 and HCM-400. Selection depends on platen size, daylight, mold weight, cavity count, color-boundary position, powder-loading method and output target.
Han Chang reviews the product drawing, color line, color-block area, powder charge weight, loading order, mold dimensions, degassing/holding requirements and demolding method before recommending the HCM configuration.
Suitable for small to medium two-color products, trial production, lower cavity counts and appearance-sample introduction.
Suitable for common two-color bowls, plates, cups and trays, and practical for many tableware factories moving into two-color production.
Suitable for larger platens, more cavities or heavier molds in higher-grade tableware production.
Suitable for larger products, heavier molds and higher output targets that need more room for color-boundary control.

HCM Color-Boundary Control and Production Setup
Good two-color tableware shows a clean color line, stable color position and consistent surface gloss. On the production floor, the press must manage powder-loading order, placement area, mold closing, degassing, holding pressure and platen temperature. HCM turns those conditions into adjustable machine settings.
Inner/outer color, rim color, color blocks and patterned tableware should start with a clear color line and acceptable range before deciding mold and powder-loading method.
Two-stage mold movement, degassing and holding pressure influence how powder flows inside the cavity, making machine movement a key part of color-boundary stability.
Loading order, placement area, powder charge weight and cavity flow should be checked together with mold design so the color position matches the product requirement.
HCM can be planned for two-color production and, when the product and mold conditions match, for suitable single-color tableware production as well. Customers can use the same machine family to manage color-boundary products, gloss targets, flash control and practical production planning.
- Product drawing or photo showing the color line, color-block position and appearance requirement.
- Powder charge weight, loading order, placement area, mold size, cavity count and demolding method.
- Trial records for material flow, mold movement, heating, degassing and holding pressure.
- Repeated production checks for color boundary, gloss, flash, deformation and demolding marks.
Service, Imported Components and Export Support
Han Chang supports the machine itself: equipment discussion, installation confirmation, operator guidance, online machine diagnosis, replacement-part coordination and maintenance discussion are supported by service teams in Taiwan and Mainland China.
Applicable configurations can use imported key components such as Mitsubishi PLC, Fuji Electric touch panel and Japanese-brand oil seals. These components help with control stability, fault diagnosis, maintenance planning and long-term machine use. CE certification is available by export project, machine configuration and documentation scope.
Han Chang can review HCM mold movement, powder-loading order, degassing and holding pressure, platen temperature, color position, PLC parameters and machine alarms so two-color production issues can be traced back to adjustable machine conditions.
Customers can provide control-screen photos, alarm messages, hydraulic gauge readings, platen temperature status, mold movement videos and site photos. Han Chang reviews hydraulic, electrical, heating, PLC, sensor, powder, mold, preheating and compression conditions before coordinating parts or service, helping factories protect surface gloss, thickness, color boundary, demolding quality and stable output.
PLC, touch panel, oil seals and related control components can be specified with imported brands by configuration, giving the factory clearer parameter control, fault diagnosis and future replacement planning.
Service teams in Taiwan and Mainland China can support equipment discussion, operation guidance, online diagnosis and replacement-part coordination for cross-region customers.
For export projects, CE certification can be discussed according to destination, machine configuration and documentation scope before purchasing.
Dual-Color Melamine Tableware Molding Machine FAQ
What products is HCM suitable for?
HCM is suitable for two-color bowls, plates, cups, trays, rim-color tableware, inner/outer color designs, color blocks and melamine products that need a clear visible color boundary.
Can HCM make single-color products?
Yes. HCM is strongest in two-color and color-boundary control, but it can also be configured for suitable single-color melamine products when mold and product conditions match. This helps factories keep flexibility for gloss, thickness, demolding and daily output planning.
What is the benefit of two-stage mold movement?
Two-stage mold movement can be matched to powder placement, color-block area, cavity flow and mold closing behavior, helping control how the two materials flow inside the mold.
What information is needed before a two-color trial?
Prepare product drawing, color-boundary position, powder charge weight, loading order, mold size, cavity count, target output, voltage and any current color-shift or appearance issue.
Is high-frequency preheating required?
It depends on powder charge weight, product thickness, surface requirement and press configuration. High-frequency preheating can improve powder condition before compression molding.
Is CE certification available?
CE certification is available by export project, HCM configuration and documentation scope.
