Thermoplastic injection moulding is a versatile manufacturing process designed for the efficient production of various plastic parts and components in large volumes. The process begins by feeding plastic pellets into a heated chamber via a hopper. In the chamber, the plastic melts and blends, then is injected under pressure into a mould. As the molten plastic fills the mould, it quickly cools and solidifies, taking the exact shape of the desired part. Once the part has cooled and hardened, the mould opens, and the finished component is ejected.
We offer shot weights ranging from 5g to 6kg with machines ranging from 100 to 650 tonnes clamp force. MTM’s facilities are geared up to cater for both low and high-volume production, by utilizing robotics and automated systems, we enhance efficiency, accelerate production, and minimize manual handling. This approach guarantees consistent cycle times and reduces the likelihood of defects.
MTM brings extensive experience in plastic injection moulding, partnering with businesses that require precise, dependable, and cost-effective components. Our expertise spans a wide range of industries, enabling us to assist with the development of complex product designs.
