Mold Sampling
Before a mold can be officially approved to run production parts, it must be used to produce some samples which will then undergo a comprehensive testing process by the Quality Control Department.

One great advantage of building a mold at Platicorp is that it will be sampled by experience process engineers that have in-depth knowledge of our presses and the resins that will be used. Our process engineers will also meticulously document each detail of the sampling process. This information will then be used later as the basis for setup instructions during subsequent production runs.

Mold Maintenance
Every mold stored and run here at Plasticorp is automatically included in our plant-wide preventive maintenance system. This realtime monitoring system allows us to create a custom set of preventive maintenance tasks for each mold that is based on actual cycles run. Our monitoring system notifies the appropriate personnel when a mold is ready for maintenance or cleaning. Our system ensures that molds last longer, have less downtime and produce quality parts.

Mold Repair
It is an inevitable part of the injection molding process that all molds will eventually need some type of repair. However, when that happens you want to be sure that the repair will be performed by only qualified personnel. At Plasticorp it is most likely that the actual person that built your mold will also be the one to repair it. In this way, we can ensure that the repair will be done correctly and that a complete repair and modification history can be maintained on site.
