Low-Cost Injection Moulding For Plastic Parts Production

Low-Cost Injection Moulding For Plastic Parts Production

Cost effective moulding does not have to mean cutting corners, it usually means designing the production process properly from the start. Andel Plastics produces plastic parts from our Birmingham facility with cost efficiency built into the process itself, running machines from 50 to 200 tonnes and using our in house toolroom to keep tooling costs and lead times under control rather than adding a third party markup. Automation reduces the repetitive manual tasks that tend to drive up labour cost on longer runs, while our 24 hour operation keeps machines producing rather than sitting idle overnight. Multi cavity tooling, where appropriate, spreads tooling cost across a higher unit output, bringing the per part price down without compromising on consistency. We advise on component design early where it could reduce cost, whether that means simplifying a feature or adjusting wall thickness. For manufacturers who need a genuinely low cost route to plastic parts production, without the quality risk that sometimes comes with chasing the cheapest price, this is the balance our facility is built around.
