Moulding

The quality of your finished product will depend on the quality of the plastic moulding.

Plastic injection moulding is one of  TT’s core services, based on 33 years experience and a wide variety of machinery operating 24 hours a day to ensure efficient and competitively-priced production. We can easily accommodate small and large plastic mouldings as we have 40  injection moulding machines,  ranging from 25 to 700 tonnes.

All our machines are fitted with microprocessor controllers for monitoring and controlling the moulding parameters. Many of these machines are equipped with computer controlled robots for faultless process management, offering repeated and consistent quality each time, every time. We offer advice on the most suitable moulding materials and specialise in the production of self-coloured mouldings which are used for cosmetic applications.

We also offer a unique ‘overmoulding’ process, where hard and soft polymers are welded together in the mould by molecular bonding. We developed this process specifically for the production of drive units cones and surrounds, however it has been used in many other applications where hard and soft materials are required on the same component.

Gas Injection for plastic components requiring large variation of wall thickness and sections or on thin sections to eradicate ‘sink’ are carried out using Bauer Kompressoren gas injection equipment. The lower injection pressures reduce cycle times and allow much greater freedom of design for improved appearance of finished products.

Our computerised plastics manufacturing system provides full traceability and complete flexibility.
