Thormac, one of Ireland’s leading injection moulders, will exhibit at Interplas in September, presenting its capabilities in complex technical moulding, including insert and hybrid moulding and work with Organo sheet materials
Sean Ryan, Director, said: “We are more than looking forward to Interplas 2017 and the opportunity to demonstrate our technical credentials to buyers and specifiers in the UK. In particular, Thormac has many solutions to offer the automotive and aerospace industries in the design and production of lightweight mouldings.’
Wittmann Battenfeld technology has played its part in producing the latest Thormac Organo-based products. A MacroPower 350 tonne moulding machine is at the heart of the latest Organo-based production which, according to Ryan, offers many advantages over conventional thermoset or thermoplastic production. He added: “Shorter cycle times, weight reduction and reduced wall thickness are some of the many benefits of fibre-based moulding that Thormac will be showing at Interplas 2017.”
