Custom plastic mold injection is widely used across many industries to mass produce precision parts of all sizes, ranging from tiny water bottle caps to large automobile parts. Being the most versatile of the molding processes, it leaves endless opportunities for creation. The efficiency and low cost of injection molding also make this a popular choice among many. Take a look at how these 3 industries utilize this manufacturing process.
Food and Beverage
The food and beverage is one of the top industries that have benefited from the use of custom mold injections. Anything used in this industry must be safe for human health according to the FDA, with may specifications including BPA-free and other non-toxic guidelines. Companies often use this process to produce conveyor system components, beverage caps, processing equipment components, beverage filtering components, and food or beverage containers.
Medical
Because of the extremely high pressure, plastic injection molding allows for the intricate detailing that medical equipment needs. With today’s rapidly advancing technology in medicine, companies need to keep up with the ever-changing medical field. The ease of mass production makes it easy to create a prototype, and produce the quantity of tools needed. Some of the most popular uses are diagnostic test kits, surgical prep products, dental x-ray component, and more.
Windows & Doors
Plastic injection molding is an optimal choice for the window and door industry, as the precision of our parts can meet specific applications to fit any project. Parts can also be made with weatherability and thermal characteristics. Using plastic resins rather than metal components can save you big on manufacturing costs when it comes to doors and windows.
