StackTeck sees high demand for medical moulds
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, Canadian tool maker StackTeck Systems says it has been responding to market demands for high volume injection moulds for medical applications this year.
According to Jordan Robertson, VP Business Development & Marketing: “Never before have we seen such a wave of inquiries for high volume medical applications. These are big projects that have arisen very suddenly, driven by the new demands of the Covid-19 pandemic, and typically with challenging lead time requirements.”
StackTeck offers broad experience in the medical area, offering solutions for medical-disposable items, labware, testing and diagnostic plastic components. In many cases, these components are very intricate requiring complex mould ejection sequences and/or designs, as well as quality optical finishes.
Stack mould technology allows for the creation of the right medical solution using it in combination with any other applicable technologies that are part of StackTeck’s offerings: multi-material, collapsing core, servo unscrewing, and quick product change as well as in-mould functions such as in-mould closing (IMC) for flip top closures.
Now more than ever, the company says its high volume mould technology is proving to be efficient and cost-effective to reach high levels of productivity using:
- Advanced cooling designs for optimal cycle times
- Specialty hot runners for tight pitches to maximise cavitation
- Stack moulds to increase productivity of each injection moulding machine
Stack mould designs have evolved to successfully fill the needs of a wide variety of injection moulding medical applications. As the need for high production volumes are climbing, there may never have been a better time to review the present-day features and capabilities of stack mould technology, says StackTeck.
