Expert Bespoke Plastic Extrusion Services
Customers today require their suppliers to provide more than just extruded lengths. Our Secondary Operations area can cut, machine, pick, kit and pack profiles that we have manufactured so that the customers receive parts that are ready to use. This department is highly flexible and can accommodate requests for bespoke plastic extrusions from our customers. This is a flexible operation that can assist our customers in many ways to reduce further operations at their site.
Supporting Precise Requirements
Custom Profile Extrusions Adhering to Tight Specifications
Our secondary operations area allows us to deliver custom profile extrusions that are ready to use including those that need to align with very tight tolerances when it comes to dimensions. We can support precise length requirements by cutting profiles to the exact lengths they’re needed in to make sure you receive the ready-to-use bespoke extrusion you’re looking for.
Pre-machining techniques allow us to add functional features to plastic profiles after manufacture so they’re fully ready for installation which is especially handy when the custom extrusion needs to integrate with hinges, tracks, locks, etc. We’re also able to drill in holes if required for fixing points, mounting or any type of hardware the extrusion will need to integrate with.
In addition, if you need your profiles to join at a specific angle we’re also able to support with mitring for door and window systems so your extrusions fit together neatly for improved functionality and appearance.
Supporting Application-Specific Requirements
Common Uses for Bespoke Plastic Extrusion Services
We regularly support the caravan and leisure vehicle sector with custom plastic extrusion components ready to be installed e.g. door frame profiles with pre-drilled fixing points for hinges and locks, mitred frame sections, etc. Secondary operations like cutting and machining can also support components used within pull-out bed systems like bed rail and bed slat runner systems for caravan interiors.
Custom brush and bubble seals can also be produced through our secondary operations to provide ready-made sealing solutions that are prepared for a specific frame / system, cut to an exact length and ready to be fitted.
Additionally, our secondary operations are commonly used to support fencing and structural profile systems by producing precision-machined extrusion components e.g. custom fence posts with pre-drilled fixing and fitting points.
If you’re looking for a faster installation process we’re able to provide bespoke plastic extrusion components that are grouped and packaged together into ready-to-use kits.
