Standard Services Available: Dip, Injection, Extrusions, Over Mould & Rotational
Injection Moulding
Injection moulding is one of the most common processes for producing products made from Plastic & Rubber. This is due to the simple and efficient nature of an injection moulded tool. It works by feeding the desired material into a hopper before being heated until liquid. Then, it is pushed through the mould before being left to cool. Once cooled, the mould is removed and out comes the finished injection moulded product.
Over Moulding
One of the most common uses of Over Moulding that you will see daily is an injection type moulding process. This is where a Plastic or Rubber is moulded over a secondary material. A common example of an Over Moulded product would be a screwdriver. This method of production allows for a more complex type of mould, enabling intricate designs for functional uses.
Rotational Moulding
Rotational Moulding is another commonly employed production method. This is used to create mainly hollow products made from Plastics. This form of moulding works by rotating the liquid plastic around the mould to give the desired shape and effect. This is a method often used to create products such as canoes, where strength is essential. This is often used over Dip / Injection Moulding for larger objects as they cannot provide such strength at higher dimensions.
We are proud for offer custom Rotational Moulding services if you are looking to bring your product design to life. We offer expert advice on moulding techniques and cost estimation. Simply get in contact by filling out the form or by giving us a call using the number noted below.
Dip Moulding
Dip Moulding is a simple and frequently employed process inside the UK. It works by creating a to-scale mould of the product before it is heated and dipped in a liquid Plastic or PVC. With this type of process, the speed of entry and dip time determines the shape and thickness of the final product. The product is then cured in the oven to harden before being dipped in water. This is to give it a solid feel and finish. Once the Plastic has cooled, the product is then blown off the mould using compressed air.
We are happy to offer a vast selection of Dip Moulding and PVC Manufacturing processes for custom products. Simply get in touch with your requirements and design preferences for us to provide you with a expert advice, along with an idea of cost / lead times.
Extrusions
Extrusions is a high volume Plastic & Rubber product manufacturing process. This is where a profile is created to keep the material uniform. Heated plastic is then passed through the profile to give it a specific shape and characteristic. This method of Moulding is often used to create things such as beams, pipes, and tubing. It is one of the most efficient ways to mould basic Plastic / Rubber designs.
We are proud to offer custom extrusions to make your product come to life. If you are interested in getting your product made by us, don't hesitate to fill out the form below and get a quick quote from us. Alternatively, you can call and speak to one of our advisors.
