Injection moulding
Products accurately moulded and high quality raw material.
Through the technique of injection moulding, Telcom is able to create manufactures in plastic material intended for different purposes.
The process of injection moulding of plastic consist substantially of melting plastic granules (thermosetting/thermoplastic polymers) that are plasticized through extrusion and injected at high pressure inside a mould designed depending on the figure that one wants to obtain. The same is thus filled and then it cools down in a few seconds by means of internal circuits of cold water and delivering thus the final product ready for use.
It is about a consolidated and widespread industrial process that is used to realize a variety of common usage products. Most of the plastic items surrounding us in daily life is actually obtained through this technique.
30 years of experience
Telcom has invested in the purchase of machineries of the latest generation and in the know-how of its professionals to produce articles accurately moulded with the exclusive use of raw material of certified quality.
Here are the main advantages of injection moulding technology:
- High productivity
- Low production costs and high processes automation
- Possibility of producing pieces with complex geometries, of small, medium and very large sizes.
- Production of manufactures with different colours and type of materials depending on the use
Telcom on-site production plant.
Eight plants for the latest generation automated moulding from 16 to 1300 tonnes Six Pick-and-Place robots from taking the manufacture to labelling, application of barcodes and packaging in line.
The procedure
At the beginning of injection moulding process, the plastic polymer to be mould, in sizes variable between about 1 and 5 mm, is introduced inside the extruder to be heated and prepared in fused form ready to be injected at high pressure inside the mould and filling the cavity representing the piece in negative. The completion is achieved with the phase of compaction, during which the material is kept at pressure until its complete solidification.
Once the time of complete cooling is respected, the mould is opened to allow the manipulator robot to pick it up and label it.
