Venture Plastics Product Manufacturing
We convert polymers into finished product using a variety of manufacturing techniques:
We convert polymers into finished product using a variety of manufacturing techniques:
Is the process whereby polymer pellets are heated into a resin and converted by means of high pressure injection into a mould. The molten plastic cools in the cavity of the mould and is then ejected as a solid part. Typically used for high volume production requirements.
Is the process that creates continuous lengths of a fixed cross sectional profile. Polymer pellets are heated, melted and extruded through a die. Profiles, tubing, hoses and gasket seals are produced in this manner. Typically used for high volume production requirements.
Rotational Moulding involves a heated hollow mould which is filled with a charge or shot weight of material. It is then slowly rotated (usually around two perpendicular axes), causing the softened material to disperse and stick to the walls of the mould. In order to maintain even thickness throughout the part, the mould continues to rotate at all times during the heating phase and to avoid sagging or deformation also during the cooling phase.
Is the process of applying a negative pressure (vacuum) to a heated sheet of plastic which is at the correct thermoforming temperature. The mould, now under vacuum, draws the plastic sheet into the shape of the product. Typically used for lower volume production requirements with comparatively low tooling costs. Ideal for the production of larger products up to 1500mm by 2500mm.
