Saving on housings? TFC offers solutions.

In the equipment manufacturing industry, metal enclosures are still widely used. Increasingly, companies seek alternatives to save on assembly costs and enclosure weight, among other factors. This solution can be found in plastic, especially when using the so-called ‘Thermoplastic Foam Casting’ (TFC) technique.

Large machines. Large Moulds. Large products.

"Working with large machines and molds is almost the same as with small molds, but it does require just a bit more preparation."

Our colleague José Coelho, production manager, is happy to talk about our large machines and molds, with which we naturally make large products. And we do this in small and medium series.

How to buy the right mould

More and more companies are deciding to reassign the manufacture of their strategic purchase components to another manufacturer for instance to produce locally. If it concerns plastic components, then it goes without saying that the moulds and other production resources will have to be relocated (transferred) to the new supplier.

To ensure overview in this complicated process, our manual provides a handy tool.

How injection compression moulding yields excellent lens performance

As the first Dutch nursery to do so, Ter Laak was able to build and run the innovative and energy-saving Daylight Greenhouse. Thank in part to the Fresnel lenses produced by Pekago using compression injection moulding, an energy saving of no less than 50% was achieved with the building of the Daylight Greenhouse. 

Read how the engineering firm Technokas, the German mould builder Hofmann and Pekago worked together to realize the Fresnel lenses.

Coating of plastic - integrated approach

There are various reasons for the coating of plastic, for example to enhance the appearance of a plastic product, or to protect the product against the effects of light, corrosion or (aggressive) cleansing agents. Every plastic and every purpose requires a special approach.

Manufacturability of plastic parts

A functional, good-looking and reproducible plastic product; that should be the result of a good cooperation between customer and supplier. In many cases, the function and design are determined by the customer or their design agency.

Subsequently the manufacturability of the design must be tested: can the product actually be developed as it was conceived?

Pekago Design Guide – Plastic Parts

A number of standard guidelines apply to a design for plastic products. In this design guide we have listed the basic principles for the development of plastic parts and housings, suitable for plastic injection and SFM (Structural Foam Moulding).
