The introduction of increasingly sophisticated computer controls
has brought about major advancements in the technology of injection
molding. Today's molding machines offer injection speed/pressure
profiling and precise shot control. Molding by "speed and position"
requires that these machines be well maintained and that the molding
team really understands the molding process. This combination of
molding skills and equipment allows us to provide greatly improved
part quality and repeatability.
With
a modern 220,000 square foot facility, PBC has made the investment
necessary to become a complete supplier to our customers. Our
Injection Molding Division has
50 injection molding machines. Their sizes range from 28 tons to
5,000 tons. All of our injection molding machines are state-of-the-art
with closed-loop computer controls and are less than 5 years old,
including large-scale precision numerical control injection machines.
In
such size we have presses quipped with special screws and barrels
to allow for processing glass and mineral filled materials. We also
have presses equipped with special mixing sections to ensure uniform
dispersion when adding color concentrate.
PBC
processes and specializes in many engineering-grade materials. These
include Acetal, ABS, Polycarbonate, PET, PETG, PBT, PPO, PPS, Nylon, Flexible
PVC, and various Elastomers. In each size range we have presses
fitted with special screws and barrels for molding glass and mineral
filled materials. Our largest resin suppliers are Dupont, GE, and
Chimei. We also process the commodity type resins such as polyethylene,
polypropylene, and polystyrene.
The
use of so many different materials has helped us develop relationships
with a number of different material suppliers. We are often able
to use these relationships to help source materials at very competitive
prices and generate savings for our customers.
The
experience and technical expertise we have developed in order to
successfully mold all of these different resins has often enabled
us to help our new customers solve problems with existing parts
and tooling.
At
PBC, we offer a complete line of services expected from today's
top-notch custom molder. Our productive decorating and finishing
department includes hot stamping, pad printing, sonic welding, tapping,
part assembly, and testing. Our proprietary scheduling and inventory
control systems allow us to efficiently supply large numbers of
parts to our customers with assembly line operations. We recognize
that "on time delivery" and the willingness to respond in an emergency
are just as important as quality parts.
