Mold Transportation, Packaging & On-site Commissioning – Protection, Installation and Startup Validation

Professional packaging and on-site commissioning prevent mold damage during shipment and ensure smooth startup at customer workshop, Xinfeng Mold provides full mold delivery and commissioning service. Before packaging, mold cavity surfaces are cleaned, dried and coated with anti-rust oil; plastic protective film covers cavity and parting surfaces. Mold is fixed inside fumigated wooden export crate with steel strapping; positioning blocks prevent mold shifting during transportation. Large molds are split into sub-assemblies only when necessary; split components are marked with matching numbers for easy reassembly. Many mold damages occur during transportation; statistics show 36% of pre-mass-production mold damage comes from improper packaging and handling. Mold lifting lugs are designed for safe crane handling; lifting point marking is clearly indicated on mold outer frame. Mold delivery package includes 2D/3D drawings, BOM, operation manual, maintenance checklist and spare parts kit such as ejector pins and sealing strips. On-site commissioning includes mold mounting on casting machine, alignment, hydraulic connection, pipeline connection and preheating test. Commissioning engineer performs dry run of core pulling and ejection system to check movement interference before pouring molten metal. For low pressure and differential pressure molds, air tightness test is repeated on customer machine to confirm no leakage after transportation. The first batch of casting samples is produced during on-site commissioning; dimensional and visual inspection is completed jointly with customer team. Commissioning record logs machine setting parameters, mold mounting condition, leakage test results and sample quality status. Operator training covers mold startup, shutdown, daily inspection, cleaning and simple troubleshooting during commissioning. Spare parts list is handed over; recommended spare parts stock quantity and replacement cycle are explained to customer maintenance team. Commissioning acceptance signature confirms mold runs normally on customer machine and meets agreed casting quality requirements.
