ADL expertly cover the manufacturing process responsible for the formation of hollow plastic parts – typically through melting and cooling. Three primary types of blow moulding exist: injection; injection stretch; and extrusion blow moulding.

Typically utilised for producing prototype and sample parts, ADL’s thermoforming services heat a plastic sheet to a pliable temperature in order to fashion a specific shape through the use of a mould. Any excess material is subsequently trimmed and removed.

After being filled with a shot weight or ‘charge’ of material, a heated hollow mould is gradually rotated around two axes, thereby forcing the softened material inside to separate and adhere to the mould’s own shaped walls. ADL’s team offer exceptional rotational moulding solutions.

The highly skilled experts at ADL also provide professional quality injection moulding services. Injection moulding can effectively manufacture small components right through to entire automobile body panels. Specifically designed for the efficient mass production of a wide range of polymer products, parts are produced by injecting heated materials into a mould. These parts – typically…
