Our hundreds of combined years of experience in tooling design and expertise in simulation include being rated in the top 10% in the world for mould-flow expertise. This level of expertise allows us to get your tooling design right the first time, at speed, utilizing the capabilities at our global innovation centre.

The machine should to be cleaned on a regular basis and mechanical parts should be checked for wear as well as loosening of any parts.

It may take some time to learn how much pressure to apply to the handle when filling a mold. If you press too hard you will end up with lots of plastic flash on your finished piece as material will ooze out between the mold halves. If you don't press hard enough you could end up with an air pocket left in the mold.

2k molding or multi-shot injection molding is a powerful technique that offers cost savings and efficiency gains to produce a quality product.

All of Rosti’s manufacturing sites have cutting-edge facilities capable of meeting the technical requirements of the most complex multi-material projects. With over 70 years of experience, our state-of-the-art simulation capabilities and global innovation centre, ensures that your tooling design is done right the first time, with speed and precision.

If you run into an issue with the material not flowing properly make sure that you are heating the material to the correct temperature and allowing enough time for the plastic to melt.

To maintain our high standards, we conduct an annual benchmark assessment. This assessment helps ensure that our engineers are up-to-date with the latest techniques and technologies, ensuring that your project benefits from the most advanced process engineering capabilities available.

Multi-Shot Injection Molding involves the simultaneous use of two different materials, two temperatures, and two different pressures. Such complexity demands a different level of process engineering capability. This is where Rosti shines.

For over 75 years, Rosti has been a leading provider of plastic injection molding solutions, manufacturing millions of products that enhance everyday life.

Runners - Subchannels that branch off from the sprue and into the part cavities. These are used for mold tools that contain multiple part cavities.

Flash - This is when the two halves of a molding tool are not properly sealed, causing molten plastic to leak out of the part cavity

Overmoulding is a great way to add value and functionality to your product, but it’s not as straightforward as it might seem.

Additionally, our advanced process engineering capability, honed through years of experience and supported by our technical academy, guarantees that we can handle the complexities of multi-material, multi-temperature, and multi-pressure scenarios.

Our expertise and global footprint, over sites strategically placed in the Europe, Asia and USA, make Rosti your local plastic injection molding partner.

The injection molder works by melting plastic pellets within a heated barrel to a specific temperature, and using a ram plunger to force the molten plastic through a nozzle, into a mold cavity.

For the injection molder demonstration, a pre-existing mold will be provided and the person must successfully injection mold the part. They should demonstrate proper adjustment of height to fit the mold, setting up for injection (filling the hopper, setting the temperature, and aligning the mold under the nozzle), injecting, and removal of the mold and part from the mold.

We believe the two key parameters to a successful product are expertise in tooling design and process engineering capabilities.

A Liquid Silicone Rubber material is a two-part platinum-cured elastomer that can be injected into a mould cavity to manufacture a part.

Overmoulding is a great way to add value and functionality to your product, but it’s not as straightforward as it might seem.

The Model 150A PIM-SHOOTER™ by LNS Technologies is a bench model injection molder designed for production of thermoplastic parts in quantities required for making prototypes and low-volume production (or higher-volume production of small parts). Due to the machine’s small size it is limited to producing small parts, but it is capable of producing these parts efficiently, accurately (as accurate as the mold is), and repeatedly. The plastic shot size is 1.1 cubic inch Max.

With years of experience and continuous refinement, we understand the intricacies involved in controlling a complex system to achieve the highest quality results.

At Rosti, we take pride in our ability to deliver top-notch molding solutions, including multi-shot and 2K, for your plastic manufacturing needs. With years of experience and a commitment to excellence, we believe we are the best choice for your project.
