Injection Moulding

Injection moulding is a process that utilises specially manufactured machinery to inject molten plastic into the mould tooling. This then solidifies to form the desired component. The injection pressures involved can be huge (approximately 130 bar) and the clamping forces also have to be huge to cope. We have machinery that can clamp up to 440 tonnes to put that into a visual context a double decker bus weighs in at approximately 7 tonnes unladen so you’d need over 62 to hold some of our mould tooling shut during production!
