Advanced Injection Moulding for the Medical Industry

Consistency and Reliability in Medical Manufacturing Processes!
Share

Expertise in Medical Device Moulding

Quality, reliability and repeatability are critical in medical product manufacture. For example, the transparency of many medical products means tackling gas venting and changes in viscosity. Here, pre-injection and AI Metering Control functions counter these issues to ensure consistency. In addition, with 6 different screws as standard, ROBOSHOT users can easily accommodate different products.
