Diverse Processing Technologies Enables GW Plastics To Respond To Customer Challenges

"Expanded processing capabilities are paying off in improved speed to market for GW Plastics' automotive, healthcare, commercial/industrial customers" according to Ben Riehl, President of the full-service precision injection molder. In addition to traditional precision injection molding processes currently available from GW Plastics, the firm also offers: insert molding, cavity pressure molding, multi-shot molding, micro-molding and high-speed thin wall molding. "None of these processes is static", emphasizes Riehl, "We are constantly refining and improving the state-of-the-art."

Processing advancements normally include improved quality and productivity - productivity that can relate directly to cost reductions for a customer. For example, GW has just purchased a NETSTAL SynErgy 1200-230, a 120 metric ton high speed, high pressure injection molding machine. Combining the capabilities of the SynErgy machine with a special molding resin allows for venting of gases directly through the cavity wall. Combining these capabilities with other equipment, GW has been able to develop a one piece component that replaces a fabricated multi-part assembly. The enhanced component enables manufacturing benefits that translate into a significant component cost reduction for the customer.
