Structural Foam Molding Machines and Equipment: The Keys to What Sets Port Erie Plastics Apart

The skill and experience of your plastic manufacturer are extremely important, however, the structural foam injection molding equipment they have is also crucial to the scope of their work. At Port Erie Plastics, our team has been providing structural foam molding and injection molding services since 1953, and to build on our experience, we have grown our collection of equipment to provide top-tier services to all of our customers. Let’s explore our foam injection machines and equipment.

Our New Structural Foam Injection Machine

Just last year we welcomed a new structural foam injection machine to expand our offerings to our customers. The addition of the 1000 SSWP LPIM structural foam molding machine has many features that allow us to take on larger structural foam projects.

The specs of our new machine include:

• Sepro dual-arm 5-axis servo robot
• Ability to handle 100 kg or 220 lbs
• 1000 machine positioned under a new 25-ton crane with a 10-ton kicker
