Injection Moulding Machine for Fabric Roll Core End Plugs and Caps
Fabric roll core end plugs and caps are moulded on horizontal injection moulding machines, often in multi-cavity hot runner tools, from PP, HDPE or recycled PP. Plug diameter and cavity count set projected area and shot weight. Paper cores vary in bore, so ribbed or sprung plug geometry has to grip across that spread.
Because these are high-volume, low-value parts, machine selection centres on cavitation, cooling-led cycle time and steady output on recycled material. Pratishna Engineers supplies horizontal injection moulding machines for end plug production and can recommend a configuration for your plug and volume.

Machine Requirements for Core End Plug Moulding
An end plug earns its margin on output, so the machine and mould plan look at:
- Ribs or fins that grip a varying paper core bore
- Full fill of thin fins without short shots
- Plug diameter sized for HDPE or PP shrinkage
- Cored-out sections so cooling does not set the cycle
- Stable output on recycled PP of varying melt flow
- Shot capacity for high-cavity hot runner moulds
Recommended Machine for Core End Plugs and Caps
Plugs for small cores in moderate cavity counts run well on the E Series (75-180 T). Large-diameter plugs for heavy fabric rolls, or very high cavity counts, add projected area and shot weight, which moves the tool onto the C Series (140-320 T), with the H Series (120-350 T) for the biggest moulds.

FAQs / Buyer Questions
Questions core and textile packaging makers ask most before moulding end plugs.
Which Injection Moulding Machine Is Used to Make Core End Plugs?
Tonnage follows plug diameter and cavity count. Small plugs in moderate cavity counts suit the E Series, and large plugs or very high-cavity tools need the C or H Series.How Does an End Plug Hold in a Paper Core?
The plug carries ribs or sprung fins that flex as it is pushed in. Paper core bores vary, so a plain cylinder would be either loose or too tight, while flexing fins grip across the range.Hot Runner or Cold Runner for End Plugs?
At high volume a hot runner saves material and regrind handling, and the shot is all part weight. Cold runners suit lower volumes and frequent colour changes, with runners ground back into the mix.
How Much Regrind and Recycled PP Can End Plugs Take?
End plugs often run on high recycled content. Melt flow and colour vary between lots, so the blend ratio is kept fixed and plug diameter and fin fill are checked after every lot change.Can Pratishna Recommend a Machine for My Core End Plug?
Yes. Share the core bore, plug drawing or sample, material, part weight, number of cavities, mould dimensions and monthly quantity, and Pratishna Engineers will suggest a suitable machine.Does the Machine Suit Other Textile Handling Parts Too?
Yes. Similar machines produce textile cones, spools, package trays and warp beam discs, depending on mould size.
