Injection Moulding
Injection moulding
As one of the UK’s leading trade plastic injection moulders, our comprehensive range of injection moulding machines gives us the flexibility to fulfil the diverse scope of our customers’ requirements. Processes we carry out include: conventional injection moulding, over-moulding and insert moulding and cleanroom moulding.
We select and source high-quality materials from proven suppliers, and have experience in processing most thermoplastics on the market. We manufacture a huge variety of injection moulded parts, including: housings, aesthetic parts, two-part mouldings, clear mouldings / lenses, internal technical parts and high-tolerance parts.
Our machines
We have 30 injection moulding machines, ranging in size from 25 to 400 tonnes, providing us with the flexibility we need to meet our customers’ individual requirements. Most of our machines are manufactured by Arburg and Krauss Maffei. Our engineering team provides the expertise and capability needed to maintain the machines on a day-to-day basis, using a TPM programme to maximise machine utilisation and reliability.
Automation and ‘Lean’ flow
We operate fully automated six-axis robot cells on our machines, undertaking added value operations, cutting labour costs and gaining advantages in cycle time and consistency. We use robots for a range of applications, including quality control, packing and assembly tasks.
Our factory layout is optimised to offer an exceptionally ‘Lean’ flow of materials, from receipt of raw materials to despatch of finished product. Our automated material handling system reduces raw material requirements to a minimum, and ensures complete separation of raw materials from the factory floor.
Cleanroom moulding
Our factory is a clean environment suited to most plastic injection moulding procedures. However, for high-sensitivity moulded components, we provide cleanroom moulding operations within a Class 7/10,000 cleanroom. We undertake product and environmental bio-burden monitoring to guarantee achievement of rigorous quality standards. Our quality control systems are accredited to ISO9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003.
