Insert Injection Molding on vertical machine 8 cavity for shot runner removed by manual

Forwa can insert metal, ceramic or plastic pieces into molten thermoplastic. The inserts can be threaded or other attachments to join custom parts to one another.

Insert molding can reduce cost by embedding secondary plastic parts into the molding process, as opposed to installing the inserts after molding. By integrating the inserts at the time of molding, the parts become more robust compared to placing the pieces in post-molding. Of course, the insert pieces must be able to withstand the high-temperature and pressure of the injection molding process.
