Injection and Blow Moulding

applications > injection and blow moulding

Overview

Injection Moulding, along with extrusion ranks as one of the prime processes for producing plastics articles. It is a fast process and is used to produce large numbers of identical items from high precision engineering components to disposable consumer goods.

Typical Products Produced

Injection mouldings count for a significant proportion of all plastics products from micro parts to large components such as bumpers and wheelie bins. Virtually all sectors of manufacturing use injection moulded parts - the flexibility in size and and shape possible through use of this process have consistently extended the boundaries of design in plastics and enabled significant replacement of traditional materials thanks to light weighting and design freedom. The list below shows the type of products that can be injection moulded, but is by no means comprehensive.

  • Power-tool housing
  • Telephone handsets
  • Television Cabinets
  • Electrical Switches
  • DVDs
  • Automotive bumpers
  • Automotive dash boards
  • Battery Casings
  • Syringes
  • Drug Inhalation Units
  • Disposable razors
  • Washing-up bowls
  • Wheelie bins
  • Crates/Recycling boxes
  • Bottle Lids/closures
