LOBO Metal Factory Your specialist for injected moulding

Injection Moulding Technology

We are highly experienced in the injection moulding process for all types of parts, processing zamak (zinc alloy), aluminium, plastic or tin.

Benefits

Injection moulding offers the following advantages:

  • Flexibility: From small to large production series, we produce the number of parts you need.
  • Uniformity: Our precision work guarantees that all moulded parts are strictly identical.
  • Dimensions: Injection moulding with zamak allows us to produce a wide range of parts sizes: from 0.07 g to 1.5 kg. Our maximum parts length is 50cm.

Materials

We process the following materials:

  • Zamak: This zinc alloy is highly resistant and durable making it the ideal material for injection moulding. Zamak conforms to the European standard EN 1774.
  • Plastics: We inject and mould various types of plastics (polypropylene, polyamide, Eva, polystyrene, acrylic, polyvinyl...)
  • Tin and aluminium: we are also highly experienced in injection moulding tin and aluminium.

Production Steps

Manufacturing of a moulded part implies four production steps:

  • Tooling: Mould manufacturing
  • Injection and moulding process
  • Finishing operations
  • Quality control

We provide a complete service for the production of your parts, from concept to fully finished product. However, the choice is yours! We can for example also provide you with the raw product only and you apply your own finish and decoration.

We provide the following finishing operations upon request:

  • Sandblasting
  • Burnishing
  • Polishing
  • Surface treatment

The choice is yours. As examples, we regularly provide threading, insertion of hardware, paint and other ornamentation processes as for example adding colour to plastic beads before injection.
Contact us with your individual needs; we will gladly advise you on the appropriate process.
