Design Flexibility
Injection moulding allows for the production of complex and intricate parts that would be difficult or impossible to produce any other way.
High Efficiency
Capable of producing high volumes of parts in a short amount of time due to the ability to produce multiple identical parts in each cycle.
Reduce Waste
Our injection moulding process generates minimal waste. Any excess material can be easily recycled and reused in subsequent production cycles.
A Plus Plastics specialises in plastic injection moulding (also spelled molding), a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials.
We have one of the most comprehensive injection moulding facilities in Australia with 14 state of the art, energy efficient moulding machines, all coupled with robotics ensuring consistency through quality and cycle time. A Plus has the capacity to mould products from 5 grams in weight up to a massive 12.5kg, along with the ability to lift 21 tonne moulds using our unique overhead crane systems.
At A Plus Plastics, we are a trusted moulding maker that specialises in providing high-quality injection moulding services. We use state-of-the-art molding 3D technology to ensure that each part is produced with the highest level of accuracy and consistency. Our experienced team of customer moulders has the expertise to handle any project, no matter how complex.
Get In TouchInjection moulding in a nutshell
Injection moulding is capable of producing high volumes of parts in a short amount of time and the injection moulding process involves several steps.
Material is fed into a plastic injection moulding machine where it is heated, mixed, and forced into the mould cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity.
Automation
A Plus Plastics is leading the Australian plastics industry in automation, utilising robotics to minimize labour costs in a forever tightening manufacturing market. Our 14 machines utilise either 3 or 6-axis robots to extract parts from the machines, which enables our skilled operators to often work on 2 or 3 machines at one time. Our robots also guarantee consistency of cycle time, ensuring we can give our customers the most competitive price.
