Our Plastic Injection Mould Tools are manufactured from Alumec 89 Tooling Plate and P20 steel. Alumec 89 is the ideal material for prototype moulds, being cheaper to produce exceptionally high quality moulds tools. These are capable of moulding extremely large quantities if required. For example, we have Alumec moulds that have done 340,000 shots with minimal maintenance. It also lends itself to tool modification as required. Alumec is better than steel for some applications as it has 1/3 density, high machinability, 4 times the thermal conductivity, superior corrosion resistance and higher strength levels than steel. Full steel, steel inserts and cores are used where required for larger production volumes and abrasive materials.
Initial high start up costs are further minimised by producing tool inserts that fit into our standard bolsters.
A single impression Injection Mould Tool created for the Manumould operator controlled machine for short-runs, can be modified at a later date to a Production Tool on an Arburg Automatic Machine with multiple impressions if so required.
