Additionally, we highly recommend implementing each precision mold with cavity pressure sensors as a method to further detect any process variation within the cavity. Once a nominal cavity pressure has been established through the process development phase, a master file can be saved. During start-up production, this master file is uploaded and will provide 100% traceability through the production run. Any product that falls outside of the established process window will be automatically discarded at the press with the use of a 3-axis robot. All molding machines at Plastikos are equipped with this cavity pressure monitoring software and tied directly into our molding machines for real-time process monitoring.

AKF Plastics Netherlands can meet the most complex product requirements and is happy to work along with you to translate your needs into the highest quality injection moulding solutions, in accordance with the international standards that apply within the automotive/car industry.

AKF Plastics is your ideal partner for injection moulded automotive parts . We specialise in the injection moulding of plastic auto parts in short-runs, and large plastic parts in larger volumes, for many companies within the automotive industry. We offer the expertise, experience and quality to be able to offer you the most reliable plastic car parts and applications.

We also utilize IQMS throughout our facility to optimize scheduling, production monitoring, and preventative mold maintenance. These combined industry 4.0 efforts have led to a remarkable 99% year-over-year on-time delivery.

All information about AKF Plastics at a glance. What we do, what we stand for and how we can help you with your injection moulding challenges.

For example, we have injection moulding machines that can deliver up to 1600 tons of closing force, and a shot weight up to 10,900 grams.

We implement Arburg’s proprietary ALS system through our entire precision molding operation. This plant-wide system is used to store and upload a qualified process to any molding machine and virtually eliminate the chance for operator error during process set up. Key process variables can only be accessed (and changed) by a qualified process engineer, further reducing any chance for variation throughout production.

Our services are designed for established companies with significant buying power, capable of investing in molds and committing to substantial annual injection molding volumes. We aim to partner with enterprises that can leverage our capabilities for large projects and established markets.

Injection moulding is our specialisation. Since the 1930s, AKF Plastics is focused on injection moulding solutions for a wide range of industries. We work not only professionally, but also economically, technically, and with social responsibility. We offer complete solutions as a supplier within the automotive industry.

The chart below provides a comprehensive list of the precision injection molding equipment that we utilize at Plastikos. All departments are supported by our highly-trained team of processing, tooling, and quality control experts.

Process validation is a critical step in the development cycle before the mold & product can be deemed fit for production. During this process, scientific molding principles should be applied to establish the nominal running conditions for that given mold, material, etc.

At AKF Plastics, we have a proven track record in delivering comprehensive solutions for various industries, including aerospace, construction, machinery and equipment manufacturing, the automotive sector, and many others. Our services encompass everything from design and mold development to production and logistics. With decades of experience, we offer speed and efficiency, resulting in competitive pricing and fast turnaround times. Our innovative strategy, Contingency Production™ Planning, ensures uninterrupted production even in uncertain market conditions. Whether you are active in aviation, construction, machinery, automotive, or any other sector, AKF Plastics guarantees reliability, quality, and innovation for all your plastic needs.

Plastikos & Plastikos medical operate around the clock to further minimize downtime / risk to our customer’s supply chain. Due to the extensive engineering & automation techniques, many of our high-volume molding machines can run completely light’s-out at night & weekends. All departments (QC, tool maintenance, material handling, etc.) are staffed to support this 24/7 schedule.

Two white room molding centers with all-electric high-speed machines ranging from 66T – 220T. All molding machines are equipped with cavity-pressure monitoring software (eDART) and many outfitted with 3-axis robotics for part handling.

At Plastikos, we are completely standardized on our precision molding equipment along with our auxiliary equipment (dryers, thermolators, hot runner controllers, and so on). All supporting equipment is directly tied into our molding machines, providing real-time data to our engineering and manufacturing team. This real-time data tracking is used detect a variation in any process variables, machine interruptions, and overall product yield for a specific production run.

Scientific molding consists of sequential steps that are followed to establish nominal fill time, injection pressure, gate freeze time, pack pressure, cycle time, and clamp tonnage among other process variables. From there, key process parameters are often tested through the means of a Design of Experiment (DOE) to reach the process window that will be duplicated each production run.

Our mission is to create the best possible injection moulding solutions for plastics for industrial customers, in the most economically, technically and socially responsible manner.

Industry 4.0 strategies have been implemented plant-wide to provide enhanced data sharing and traceability among molding machinery. This proprietary system ensures only our process engineers can adjust process parameters, which minimizes manual error during production startup.

LEVEL II PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE This is level of PM will build on the first level and we will conduct a deeper dive into the tool. Partial disassembly of the tool will be required as we will lubricate the tool, clean vents, and further inspect for any wear or damage.

AKF Plastics Netherlands is characterized within the automotive industry by the use of innovative materials and production processes. This enables us to produce injection moulded car parts that match the character of the automotive industry of the future.

AKF Plastics is not only focused on the use of materials that are superior in quality and durability, but also on the use of materials that provide the best aesthetic results. We therefore only use decorative techniques to meet the aesthetic requirements of the automotive industry.

Our team of degreed Plastics Engineers has completed rigorous training in scientific decoupled molding strategies through Penn State’s Plastic Engineering program along with RJG’s Master Molder program. This specialized training is essential for successful process optimization and qualification.

Digitalizing a manufacturing operation remains at the forefront of Industry 4.0. The ability to gather real-time data has become essential when optimizing key elements such as product yields, machine efficiency, product quality, and overall profitability.

LEVEL I PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE This is level of PM is the most common and will be routinely scheduled during a mold’s production run. Minimal disassembly of the tool is required as we will perform a face cleaning of the cavity & core inserts and inspect for any premature wear.

LEVEL III PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE This is level of PM requires full disassembly of the tool and is scheduled off the mold’s cycle count and production volume. Wear items will be replaced, as needed. Water lines are fully cleaned to prevent scaling and manifolds will be serviced, where applicable.

Injection moulding is also ideal for the production of complex products consisting of several components or even several materials!
