Suzhou Kinghou Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. (KingHou) returned to CHINAPLAS 2026 in Shanghai with a full demonstration of our quick mold change systems for injection molding, stamping, and die-casting plants. Over four days, our engineering team walked global manufacturers through hydraulic clamps, magnetic platens, mold-changing trolleys, and mechanical clamping devices — turning hours of changeover downtime into minutes of productive output.
Quick Mold Change Solutions on Display at the KingHou Booth
Our booth featured the full KingHou quick mold change lineup. Each system is engineered for a specific production challenge — and visitors from injection-molding plants, stamping shops, and die-casting cells came specifically to compare options for their lines.
Hydraulic Quick Mold Change System
Designed for plastic injection molders that swap molds multiple times per shift. Precision-controlled hydraulic clamps reduce mold change time from 60–90 minutes to under 5 minutes. Compatible with 50T–4000T injection molding machines. View the hydraulic quick mold change system →
Magnetic Quick Mold Change System
Universal mold clamping without T-slots, bolts, or manual fixturing. Secure clamping in roughly 60 seconds for molds of any geometry — ideal for plants running diverse mold sizes. Supports injection and die-casting machines from 80T to 4000T. View the magnetic clamping system →
Automatic Mold Change Trolley
For plants without overhead crane access at each press. One operator can transport molds up to 30T and align them to press centerline with engineering precision. View the mold changing trolley system →
Mechanical Mold Clamping & Quick Die Change
For stamping press operations and dies up to 30T. Reduces die changeover downtime by up to 90% — engineered for mechanical and hydraulic presses, 100T–2000T. View the quick die change system →
Live Demonstrations Drew Engineering Buyers from Around the World
Throughout the show, our application engineers ran live demonstrations on actual mold blocks — hydraulic clamps locking, magnetic platens engaging, and trolleys positioning molds to centerline. International buyers gathered around the demo stations to see specifications in action, not just on data sheets.
The most-asked questions weren’t about marketing claims, but about engineering specifics — changeover time on a 1600T die-casting cell, magnetic field strength on thin mold backs, integration with existing PLC controls, and after-sales engineering support across borders.
Conversations with Global Manufacturers
CHINAPLAS 2026 brought us face-to-face with engineering teams from India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Beyond demonstrating equipment, the booth became a working session — engineers from injection-molding plants in northern India, stamping shops in Vietnam and Indonesia, and die-casting cells in Mexico asked us to spec systems for their specific production lines.
We left CHINAPLAS with engineering RFQs from dozens of manufacturers across multiple continents — and many handed-out copies of our quick mold change equipment catalog. These conversations remind us why KingHou exists: real production lines need engineered solutions, not generic clamps.
The KingHou Team Behind the Booth
Behind every demonstration was our application engineering and international sales team — the same people you’ll work with after the show. KingHou has spent over 30 years engineering quick mold change solutions, and the team at CHINAPLAS represented sales, engineering, and after-sales support working side-by-side.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CHINAPLAS?
CHINAPLAS is Asia’s largest plastics and rubber industry trade show, organized annually by Adsale. The event brings together exhibitors and buyers from across the global plastics manufacturing supply chain.
Which quick mold change system fits an injection molding plant?
For most injection molders changing molds multiple times per shift, the hydraulic quick mold change system is the standard fit. If your molds have varying dimensions and you’d rather not standardize, the magnetic clamping system removes the need for fixturing entirely. Our engineers will recommend the right configuration based on your machine tonnage and changeover frequency.
Do you ship and install outside China?
Yes. KingHou has installed quick mold change systems in injection, stamping, and die-casting plants across Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. Installation is handled by our engineering team or partnered local technicians.
How long does a typical mold change take with KingHou systems?
For injection molding with the hydraulic clamping system, mold change time drops from a typical 60–90 minutes to under 5 minutes. For magnetic clamping, secure clamping is achieved in about 60 seconds. Actual time depends on mold weight, press configuration, and operator workflow.
Where will I find KingHou next?
We exhibit annually at CHINAPLAS in addition to several regional industrial trade shows. Send us a message on WhatsApp to be notified of upcoming events — or schedule a virtual demo any time.
