Our Moulding Services

Our services include:

Post-moulding operations

A During or Post Moulding Operation

At PSD, our company understands that insert moulding is a process that can be done either at the time of the moulding process, or inserted after the part has been made as a post-moulding operation.

If included as part of the moulding process, inserts are loaded into the tool, and the plastic is moulded around them. This can either be done by the machine operator or by a robot.
If the inserts are applied to the product as part of a post-moulding operation, they can usually be applied at any time after the part is made.

Determining the Suitable Choice

We take great care in determining the most suitable approach for your product. Considerations need to be taken as to which way is more suitable for the product, as it can mean a varied cycle time when loading inserts by hand.

To get the best quality mouldings, it is not advised to allow the cycle time to vary from shot to shot as this allows the material to degrade in the barrel.

What are the benefits of insert moulding services?

Insert moulding can be beneficial in a wide range of industries. For instance, automotive, medical, aerospace, consumer products, electronics, and more.

It is particularly useful in industries where small, intricate parts are needed that require a high degree of accuracy and precision. Additionally, it can help to reduce assembly time and costs, improve part strength and durability, and enhance overall product performance.

Typical products that are insert moulded are threaded brass inserts or metal screws.

Aside from this, other products that can be insert moulded include threaded inserts, bushings, studs, electrical components, and plastic gears.

Furthermore, at PSD Ltd we have the capability to use another injection moulded part from a different plastic. This makes insert moulding a great option for those needing parts with differing properties.
