Gas assisted injection moulding

Innovating the plastic injection moulding process

Innovating the plastic injection moulding process

The principle of gas assisted injection moulding is that nitrogen gas is being injected during the moulding cycle, either through the sprue or directly into the moulding tool. At a controlled high pressure, this process has the advantage of overcoming sink marks or introducing a cavity without a core. With normal injection moulding, the moulding will shrink away from the mould cavity and a pack of material will have to be introduced to counteract the sink.

As is the case with our plastic bobbins and plastic recycling bins, this technology is eco-friendly as a minimal material usage is required.

Built to last products with gas assisted injection moulding

Gas assisted injection moulding results in improved component quality as the use of gas creates a uniform pressure within the mould cavity. Eliminating sink marks, the overall surface finish is greatly improved in this way.

Products created with the aid of this process are of course also built to last. This makes them profitable in the long run as they are reusable, such as our returnable crates.

Custom-made gas assisted injection moulding

As plastic parts can be produced with enhanced surface finishes, reduced weight, production costs and material usage, gas assisted injection moulding is the ideal way to customize your products.
