Insert Moulding by ATISHRI PLASTICS PVT LTD

Overview

Insert moulding, offered by ATISHRI PLASTICS PVT LTD, is a groundbreaking manufacturing process that marries the strengths of metals and plastics, or various combinations of materials and components, into a unified single unit. This advanced method not only enhances the functional and physical properties of components but also offers significant economic advantages by reducing assembly and labor costs. The process ensures that the resultant parts have superior tensile strength and wear resistance, and it enables the creation of complex designs with improved component reliability and part integrity.

Process Description

The insert moulding process starts with solid pellets of raw material, which are melted and extruded into a mould. Precise placement of the metal or plastic insert into the mould is done by an operator before the plastic melt is introduced. As the plastic melt solidifies around the insert, it forms an inseparable composite part. Following the solidification, the mould press opens, allowing the ejection of the finished moulded parts.

Advantages of Insert Moulding

1. Enhanced Tensile Strength and Wear Resistance:
2. Improved Material Properties: The process brings together the best properties of metals and plastics, resulting in parts with enhanced tensile strength and superior wear resistance.

3. Durability: Components are significantly more durable and stable, making them suitable for demanding applications.

4. Cost-Effective:

5. Reduced Assembly and Labour Costs: The integration of insert and moulding processes into a single step reduces the need for additional assembly, cutting down on labour costs and assembly time.

6. Efficiency: Eliminates secondary operations, saving time and resources.

7. Design Flexibility:

8. Complex Geometries: The process allows for the creation of intricate designs and complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods.

9. Customization: Offers significant versatility in terms of material choice and part design.

10. Component Reliability:

11. Structural Integrity: The process yields parts with excellent structural integrity, leading to improved component reliability.

12. Consistent Quality: Ensures high repeatability and precision, resulting in consistent quality across production runs.

13. Size and Weight Reduction:

14. Compact Solutions: Enables the reduction of part size without compromising on functionality.
15. Lightweight Components: Produces lighter components, beneficial for various industries such as automotive and aerospace.

Key Materials

Insert moulding uses the same materials as the injection moulding process. For applications requiring extreme high heat, engineered thermoplastics are employed due to their ability to withstand very high temperatures. These engineered materials also offer impressive resistance to physical, electrical, and chemical stresses, making them ideal for use in harsh environments.
