Plastic Injection Moulding

Plastic injection moulding is a cost-effective manufacturing process that allows for the quick production of high volumes of identical plastic parts and mouldings. This involves the injection of molten plastic into either one or multiple cavities within a metal mould, the plastic cools rapidly and is ejected to form a solid finished part. There are many different types of injection moulding, including more complicated techniques such as overmoulding (combining two moulded components), insert moulding (moulding two components on top of each other at the same time) and filter encapsulation (moulding a plastic frame around a filter) – all of which are carried out at BEC Group’s Hampshire site.
