Below is further information about plastic injection moulding, the process, the pros and cons of plastic injection moulding and why you should choose us to manufacture your products.
The plastic injection moulding process has been comprehensively used for over 50 years and it is still one of the most popular manufacturing processes to date where both thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers can be used, not to mention the ability to use other materials such as glasses, metals and elastomers. At Amtek we promote thermoplastic injection moulding where possible so any waste plastic created can be melted down and recycled.
Injection moulding is fantastic for mass production and part manufacturing as it replicates the same part continuously.
The injection moulding process is very simple and consists of pushing melted plastic into the cavity of a mould, cooled and then ejected to create a part. Below is a more detailed look at the plastic injection moulding process:
This is a very rapid and reliable process so repeat plastic products can be created to the same finish and quality every time.

There are many benefits to choosing injection moulding to manufacture your product. The main reason is that production costs are very low due to the low cost of the polymer pellets and fast product turnover. This process also requires very low man power and it is possible to produce very complex, detailed parts due to the high pressures exerted on the molten plastics.
There is, however, one main disadvantage with plastic injection moulding, the creation of the specific mould can be very costly especially for complex plastic products, larger moulds and the quality of the mould required. Therefore, to make your business more profitable when manufacturing using plastic injection moulding, large batch numbers are best to ensure the mould tooling costs are lower. Here at Amtek Plastics UK Ltd we will advise and guide you about which mould tools you will need to meet the needs of your plastic product manufacture.
