Plastic Injection Moulding

Whats New?

Chess Plastics News
2010 Update
The current climate has proved difficult for plastics manufacturers especially with the increases in polymer costs but Chess have again tried to keep one move "ahead of the game". Chess have continued to invest in new larger moulding machines coupled by diversifying into different materials and markets. This has enabled Chess to secure further new contracts for 2010 with over 30 new moulds being manufactured and project managed in Asia combined with various new moulds that have been manufactured in the Uk. This extra work combined with resourse projects from companies who have made Chess their moulder of choice meant taking on a dedicated weekend shift to increase operations to 24 hours a day 7 days a week thus truly being flexible and adaptable to changing customer demands.

Specialist Machines

What is Produced?

The Process

Making the correct choice of machine for specific applications regarding injection moulding is imperitive. A complicated process that can require specialist industry knowledge. Here at Chess we thrive on that knowledge and have the correct equipment at hand to suit your injection moulding requirements.

The wide range of machines at Chess Plastics means that we can produce very small parts such as valves and caps of just a few grammes in weight, up to dustbin sized products weighing several kilos.

Many traditional materials are being replaced by plastics due to their durability, strength, low cost and low weight - in particular, the automotive industry has increased plastic usage from 8.5% by weight in a typical car in 1984, up to approximately 11%. Such 'metal replacement' in cars can help to reduce total car weight and therefore reduce emissions of CO2.

In broad terms, the process of plastic injection moulding consists of feeding raw material granules and additives such as colour, into a hopper situated on the moulding machine. The raw material enters a heated barrel with reciprocating screw and the molten plastic is then injected at considerable force into a two part mould tool specific to the item being produced. After the material enters the mould it is cooled, the mould opens and the completed part is ejected or removed.

Chess Plastics are able to offer a wide range of secondary operations such as printing, chroming, assembly and specific packaging to produce products ready to ship direct to your customer.
