AKI’s reputation for technical excellence and high levels of customer service in plastic injection moulding has been considerably enhanced by the development of their New Product Realisation and Optimisation Process. When Fluid Conditioning Systems (FCS) were looking for a manufacturing partner for their new, innovative domestic central heating system filter, they selected AKI after a rigorous selection procedure. Craig Fuller, General Manager at FCS said “We were impressed by AKI’s proactive approach to new projects. They not only assessed our requirements very closely but were able to help us finalise the design for manufacture and materials selection to optimise both manufacturing and product performance. By also offering a very competent technical assembly service, we had a one stop manufacturing partner.”
The product, the “Fernox Boiler BuddyTM”, has special requirements for mechanical robustness and high temperature operation. When combined with the need for a transparent body, the choice of moulding material and the ability to mould that material were both key to the product’s success. AKI’s approach is to go “beyond injection moulding” and provide customers with a complete service. To find out how you can benefit from working with AKI call 01432 375100, or email sales@aki.co.uk
Many of the mould tools we run in our moulding machines have complex cores which operate in a plane 90 degrees to the tool opening plane.
