Molding

 

In 2005, Port Erie is adding structural foam molding capacity. We have converted a 10,000 square foot warehouse area into manufacturing space. We poured a thicker concrete floor to accommodate the massive size of structural foam machines and we added a two-trolley crane system with 15- and 10-ton cranes to handle the molds.

Our 500-ton Uniloy Milacron machine has a platen size of 98”x89” and tie bar spacing of 58.5” x 67.5”. This machine can output 1,800 pounds of material an hour with a shot size of up to 150 pounds.

Initially, we will offer just one structural foam machine but we have installed infrastructure to grow. We have a multi-year contract with a customer that ensures we will be in this business for the long haul.

Structural foam molding is intended to produce very large, thick plastic parts. Foaming agents reduce part weight and add a cellular structure that improves the part’s rigidity.

Due to confidentiality concerns we cannot display the parts we are manufacturing. However, if you have structural foam molding needs, please call us and we will be glad to discuss our capabilities.
