Where to purchase flexipan molds?

[David J.]

I'm trying to purchase the Large Cone (FLX 1094), Mini-Cone (FLX 2083) Half-Sheet, and Dog Bone (FLX 2163) Half sheet Flexipan molds, but I just can't find somone who wants to sell them to me.

I found the Large Cone at ChefRubber, but they didn't have the half sheet Mini-Cones, just the full sheet. I'd prefer a half sheet of the Large Cones, but flexipan doesn't make one.

I looked for a comparable Large Cone mold in Gastroflex or other manufacturer but couldn't find anything close. If anyone knows of a mold close to the 70mm Diameter x 60mm tall cone let me know.

Even though it's more expensive I tried buying direct from the DemarleUSA website, but they haven't responded to my request for an account.

I'm half tempted to make my own Large Cone mold as I have some food grade silocone, but I'd have to find or manufacture half a dozen cones first.

Does anyone know where I can purchase these molds?

They're just out of Vancouver, Canada, but I'm sure they'll gladly take your money. On-line catalouge shows just about every model, but he does move inventory fast. Been dealing with them for allmost 10 years now.

Thanks, but no luck there. They have the Large Cone mold, but neither of the other two. It's amazing how difficult it is to locate them.

I don't understand the half v. full sheet issue. I always buy full sheet and cut them to half sheets. Is there a reason why you don't want to do this?

From what I understand, Flexipan runs fiberglass through the mold and cutting one in half would expose the threads. Do you do this with flexipan and if so, do you have any issues with the edges tearing or the threads coming out?

We have them available at www.jbprince.com.

I'm sorry David - I just now saw your question. No, mine have been cut for years with no noticably visible threads and certainly no fraying.

Thanks for the reply. I managed to get through to someone at DemarleUSA via the web-chat utility and they set me up. I might try cutting the full sheet large cone mold as I have to fold it over to fit it in the freezer otherwise.
