Molding

Knobs & Handles – Manufactured through an injection molding process, knobs and handles are made from a thermoplastic or thermoset plastic material. Plastic pellet material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the mold cavity. After a product is designed, metal molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker) with either steel or aluminum, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of plastic parts, from the smallest knobs to large auto body panels.

Seals – Seals are devices that prevent the passage of fluids along a rotating shaft. Seals are necessary when a shaft extends from a housing (enclosure) containing oil, such as a pump or a gearbox. Synthetic rubber, Viton and silicones are among the materials used for the sealing ring. We specialize in shaft seals, mechanical seals, bearing seals, hydraulic seals, v-ring seals, rubber gaskets, bearing isolations and custom molded rubber products. Our core competency is in custom seal design, application engineering, problem seal analysis and precision rubber manufacturing.
