Relocation of moulds
Relocation of moulds
The transition from existing moulds to De Beer Plastics is a smooth process thanks to our in-house mould-making facility.
If your current supplier is no longer able to supply
In the plastics market, we find that customers do not often transfer moulds from one supplier to another. Existing suppliers have often already learned the hard way and optimised their processes. A new supplier, meanwhile, often has to make minor adjustments to the moulds or reinvest in automation. Transferring moulds therefore costs time and money.
However, sometimes switching suppliers does pay off, or may even be a matter of necessity due to bankruptcy or significant quality issues. De Beer Plastics supports you through this complex process with its full-service capabilities.
Back up and running in no time
The challenge when moving moulds is that you don’t always know what problems might arise. It is often possible to estimate in advance what modifications need to be made to a mould so that it can run on a different machine. But those are not usually the biggest challenges.
De Beer Plastics approaches a mould relocation in much the same way as building a new mould. A project team led by a project manager takes a multidisciplinary approach to assessing the moulds and products. And the advantages we offer with new moulds – having everything in-house – also help to get your production back up and running quickly.
Adapting moulds
Minor adjustments are usually required to use your mould in our production process. Every injection moulding company has its own standards for connections and centring rings on injection moulding machines.
Thanks to our in-house mould-making facility, modifying your moulds is not only quick and professional, but also keeps costs down. At the same time, we carry out a full inspection of the mould’s condition, enabling us to identify any wear and tear or other early signs of problems at an early stage.
A machine that’s always available
With over 100 injection moulding machines, De Beer Plastic can always provide the right machine and capacity to handle your moulds. From small machines with a clamping force of 25–50 tonnes to large machines of 650 tonnes: you needn’t worry about capacity.
We can also be your new production partner for existing 2K moulds. Adapting these moulds can sometimes be more complex due to the different designs of 2K injection moulding machines, but our design engineers almost always find a solution.
