Injection moulding.

Injection moulding is a manufacturing

process for producing parts by injecting

material into a mould.

Injection moulding can be performed with

a host of materials, most commonly

thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers.

Moulding injection process is conducted

with moulding injection machines. Material

for the part is fed into a heated barrel,

mixed, and forced into a mould cavity,

where it cools and hardens to the

configuration of the cavity.

Compression moulding.

Compression molding is a method of molding

in which the molding material, generally

preheated, is first placed in an open, heated

mold cavity.

The mold is closed with a top force or plug

member, pressure is applied to force the

material into contact with all mold areas,

while heat and pressure are maintained until

the molding material has cured.

The advantage of compression molding is its

ability to mold large, fairly intricate parts.

Extrusion.

Extrusion is a manufacturing process used to make

pipes, hoses, drinking straws, curtain tracks, rods,

and fibre.

The granules melt into a liquid which is forced through

a die, forming a long 'tube like' shape. The shape of the

die determines the shape of the tube. The extrusion is

then cooled and forms a solid shape.

The tube may be printed upon, and cut at equal

intervals. The pieces may be rolled for storage

or packed together.

Shapes that can result from extrusion include

T-sections, U-sections, square sections, I-sections,

L-sections and circular sections.

Precise cutting and gluing.

Automated process of precise cutting

with innovative technology guarantees

highest precision and quality.
