What are technical plastic parts?

Technical plastic parts are elements made of synthetic material that are built into or used in a technical mechanism. A simple example: the cover for the porthole on a washing machine is a technical plastic part that is integrated into the overall mechanism of a washing machine; without this part, it would not work. Technical plastic parts are categorized into simple structure parts and complicated structure parts. What they both have in common is that they fit seamlessly into the overall technical apparatus.

Containers, pallets, and workpiece carriers 

With its wide range of pallets and various Euromass containers designed to stack, box, fold, and collapse, Utz is a leading partner for anyone who stores, picks, packs, and transports goods. 

Production Processes 

Different technical plastic part requirements need to be flexible when it comes to the production processes used.

Technical injection molded parts

Injection molding

If technical plastic parts should be produced with high repeat accuracy, precise fit and dimensional precision, the injection molding process is the best choice. However, injection molding tools made of solid steel are complex and therefore cost intensive.

Thermogeformte technische Teile

Thermoforming / vacuum forming

However, if only small quantities are planned or the products need to be available on short notice, thermoforming is a sensible and usually more economical option than other processes. 

The aluminum tools used for thermoforming are significantly cheaper than the steel tools used for injection molding. 

The decision to use one of the two processes is a matter of customer-specific conditions. Overall, the choice between two production processes enables a high degree of flexibility in responding to customers’ demands.
