What is plastic injection moulding?

Injection moulding is the most commonly used and most cost-effective process of manufacturing plastic products.

An injection moulding machine is used which has a heated barrel, that plastic pellets are fed into via a hopper at the top of the machine.

By the force of a rotating screw the plastic material is heated to a liquid form and injected through the nozzle into a product specific mould.

Once the correct amount of material has entered the mould, the material cools and hardens to the shape of the mould. This newly formed product is then ejected, and the injection moulding cycle begins again.

What can be made?

You can make almost anything from the plastic injection moulding process – plastic furniture, food & beverage packaging, medical devices, toys, clips… really any product that can be made from a mould, the options are endless!

Injection moulding is a high production manufacturing method with a low labour cost and generates little to no waste – see what we do with our plastic waste here.
