Injection Moulding
Plastic Injection Moulding with In-House Toolmaking
Injection-moulded plastic components from Konsa's Boksburg facility, supported by an in-house toolroom for new moulds, repairs and modifications.
Confirmed Moulding Capability
What Konsa can confirm today for plastic injection moulding projects. Machine selection and component suitability are assessed per enquiry.
Injection Moulding
Established moulding facility
Konsa operates an established injection moulding facility supporting prototype, repeat and production requirements.
Machine Selection
Assessed per project
Machine selection is based on component size, material, tooling, shot requirements and production quantity.
Component Suitability
Confirmed during quotation
Component suitability is assessed according to material, part weight, geometry, tooling, runner design and production requirements.
Toolroom
In-house toolroom
Established
1968
Core Capabilities
Production moulding, tooling support, trials and component types supported from the Boksburg moulding facility.
Production Moulding
Repeat injection moulding of approved plastic components across Konsa's range of moulding machines.
Tooling Support
Support for new mould manufacture and tooling preparation through the in-house toolroom and Engineering & Tooling division.
Mould Repairs and Modifications
Repair and modification of existing injection moulding tools to restore production or accommodate design changes.
Product Change Support
Practical support when component designs change and existing tooling needs assessment or modification.
Trial Runs and First-Off Evaluation
Trial shots and first-off samples for review before committing to repeat production runs.
Repeat Production
Ongoing production moulding once tooling, material and samples are approved.
Enclosure Manufacture
Manufacture of plastic enclosures and housings, including applications for electronic components.
Industrial Plastic Components
Moulded industrial components for equipment, fittings and general manufacturing requirements.
Enquiry-to-Production Process
Konsa provides practical manufacturing input during development but is not positioned as a standalone industrial design consultancy.
Step 1
Enquiry and Drawing Review
Review drawings, samples or specifications to understand the component, material and production intent.
Step 2
Tooling Assessment or Design
Assess existing tooling or plan new mould manufacture through the in-house toolroom.
Step 3
Mould Manufacture or Preparation
Manufacture new tooling or prepare and verify existing moulds for trial production.
Step 4
Trial and First-Off Approval
Run trial shots and first-off samples for customer review before repeat production.
Step 5
Production Moulding
Repeat injection moulding once tooling and samples are approved for production.
Step 6
Optional Assembly and Support
Discuss any additional finishing or assembly requirements relevant to the project.
In-House Toolroom Advantage
New mould manufacture, repairs and modifications are supported through Konsa's toolroom and Engineering & Tooling division.
Single Accountable Supplier
Tooling and moulding managed at one facility, reducing handover between external toolmakers and moulders.
Faster Communication
Direct communication between toolroom and moulding teams when tooling changes or production issues arise.
Easier Repairs and Modifications
Mould repairs and modifications can be actioned in-house without sending tools off-site.
Reduced Transport and Coordination
Less movement of tooling between suppliers, simplifying project management for customers.
Related support: in-house tool and die manufacturing, reverse engineering of legacy components, and electronics manufacturing for enclosure coordination.
Materials Commonly Moulded
Final suitability depends on material grade, part geometry, wall thickness and tooling design.
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Selected flame-retardant thermoplastic grades
- Other materials assessed according to grade, tooling and processing requirements
Typical Applications
These examples illustrate common requirements and do not define the full range of work Konsa can assess.
Electronic Enclosures
Moulded enclosures and housings for electronic components and devices.
Industrial Components
Plastic parts for industrial equipment, fittings and general manufacturing applications.
Construction Products
Moulded plastic components used in construction-related products and applications.
Custom Plastic Parts
Custom injection-moulded components developed from customer drawings or samples.
Product Housings
Protective housings and covers for products across electronics and industrial sectors.
