Injection moulding

Injection moulding

Injection moulding is popular because of its versatile, virtually limitless application and consistent results. It forces molten polymer at high pressure into a mould cavity. The plastic then hardens to the shape of this cavity and the component can be ejected.

KEY ADVANTAGES

• Mould designs produce parts that are highly precise and dimensionally accurate
• Consistent wall thickness offers stability for hot fill and microwaveable products
• Packaging component cycle times are highly efficient with most at less than 20 seconds
• All excess material can be ground up and re-used, generating no waste
• Materials and/or colours can easily be changed according to your needs
• Moulding equipment is automated delivering reduced costs
• Suitable for high volumes with manufacturing efficiency
• Moulded parts are produced with high-quality surface finishes, requiring no further processing

EXAMPLES

• PP thin-walled tamper-evident containers for chilled soups
• Shaving gel actuators
• Over caps for Barista style coffee
• Multi-chamber jars for baking decoration
• Crystal clear clarity for thick-walled jars used in luxury personal care ranges
• Two-element sauce bottle screw caps with dosing plugs
• Child-resistant closures
• Hermetically sealed toilet cleaners
• Specialist plugs for use in sauce dispensers for fast-food retail
