  • Food
  • Non-Food
  • Healthcare
  • Medical packaging

Products

  • Thin-wall packaging
  • Pails
  • Flip-top caps

Product development

  • Analysis and appraisal of individual customer requirements, taking into account all technical and economic aspects. Design work includes a 3-D volume-oriented CAD/CAM for generating complex geometric forms.
  • Moldflow analysis
    • Simulation analysis serves as the basis for calculation of possible weight reductions resulting in signficiant cost savings. Moldflow analysis ensures optimum flow distribution for homogeneous part filling that enhances mold’s service life substantially and insures that IML applications have limited blow-by and low scrap rates.
  • FEM analysis
    • moldflow simulations
    • product performance calculations (top load, stackability, etc.)
    • weight optimisation
    • molding machine tonnage calculations
    • mold cooling analysis to insure fastest cycle times
