MANUFACTURING PROCESSES & MATERIALS

Manufacturing processes

Injection moulding

Injection moulding is one of the most common manufacturing methods for plastic products, and provides almost unlimited possibilities. We have been pioneering the field since 1954, when we bought our first injection moulder. Since then, we have designed, developed and produced thousands of different products for our customers and for our piping system KPS, which is used by global oil companies to safely transport fuel beneath forecourts in over 100 countries.

The injection moulding process involves melting plastic granules, injecting the liquid plastic into a mould and cooling it down. We have optimised the process, with key refinements relating to mould design, process control and the relevant pre and post-manufacturing process operations.

Today, our facility in Kungsör has 15 injection moulders in a variety of sizes, with a high level of automation.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Clamping force 75 – 550 tonnes
  • Mould height 150 – 1,100 mm
  • Shot weight 0.5 – 1,860 g
  • Additional operations before and/or after injection moulding available
  • Overmoulding, inserts and similar available

Extrusion

Extrusion is the manufacturing method for producing plastic products by the metre, also commonly known as continuous products.

As with injection moulding, plastic granules are melted, but in extrusion, the transport distance between melting and cooling is longer. An extrusion screw pushes the melted plastic through a nozzle, which includes a die of the desired cross-section/profile, shaping the plastic, which is then further defined in a calibrator, then passed through a cooling bath.

Our speciality lies in creating multiple layers inside profiles (up to 4). Each layer adds functionality; for example, our KPS piping system includes layers for electrical conductivity and a permeation barrier. We can also extrude multiple profiles inside each other (each with multiple layers), as evidenced by our double wall KPS piping system, which includes an inner and outer pipe for added security, and to enable leak monitoring.

KEY FEATURES:

  • 3 extrusion lines
  • Inner layer extruders available on all lines
  • Pipe diameters 25-225 mm as standard

3D Printing
(additive manufacturing)

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing of plastic components has grown and developed enormously in recent years.

While more costly for high-volume production (over 1,000/year) as compared to injection moulding, it is ideal for small volume production, complicated geometries and prototyping during product development.

In our 3D printers, we use threads of material that create the product droplet by droplet according to the input drawing.

We manufacture products up to the size of 330 mm (width) by 270 mm (depth) by 200 mm (height) with industrial accuracy and quality.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Ideal for small-volume production and prototyping
  • Products up to 330 mm x 270 mm x 200 mm
  • Industrial accuracy and quality
