Plastics & rubber machines, step by step
The machines are in the order they work in the process. Ask us about any of them: we check feasibility and the import rules before we quote.
Material handling and drying
Resin pellets are dried and mixed with colour or additives before they are melted.
Hopper dryer
A heated hopper on top of the moulding machine that dries plastic granules before they melt, so parts come out without bubbles or streaks.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machineColour mixer
A drum or blade mixer that blends granules with colour masterbatch and regrind into an even mix.

Injection moulding
Molten plastic is injected into a closed mould to make parts such as caps, crates, chairs and housings.
Injection moulding machine
Melts granules in a heated barrel and injects them under pressure into a closed mould, which opens to release each finished part.

Request this machineMould temperature controller
Pumps heated or cooled water or oil through the mould to hold it at the right temperature, so every part sets the same way.

Blow moulding
A soft tube or preform is blown with air inside a mould to make bottles and containers.
Blow moulding machine
Inflates a hot tube of plastic inside a mould with compressed air to make bottles, jerrycans and other hollow items.

Extrusion
Plastic is pushed through a die in one long run to make pipes, sheet or film for bags.
Pipe extrusion line
An extruder pushes melted plastic through a round die; the pipe is sized, cooled in water baths, hauled off and cut to length.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machineBlown film line
Blows melted plastic from a ring die into a tall bubble of thin film, which is cooled, flattened and wound into rolls for bags and wraps.

Cooling and finishing
Parts and moulds are cooled with chilled water, then trimmed, printed or cut to length.
Water chiller
A refrigeration unit that cools the water for moulds and extrusion baths, so parts set quickly and evenly.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machineCutting and trimming machine
Cuts off runners, flash and excess film from moulded or extruded products, and cuts pipe and profiles to length.

Recycling scrap
Rejects and plastic waste are washed, shredded and turned back into pellets that can be used again.
Plastic shredder
Rotating knives cut plastic waste, rejects and scrap into small flakes for washing and recycling.
Availability subject to feasibility check
Request this machinePelletising line
Melts clean flakes, filters the melt and cuts the strands into even pellets that can be moulded again.
