Plastic Mould Tooling

Agemaspark’s involvement in the plastic moulding industry goes back many years. We currently supply new mould tooling and modification operations to at least 6 local moulding companies and we offer a full maintenance and repair facility for all.

Plastic Mould Tooling

With our design facility we can offer a preliminary GA for approval within a few days of any order being placed. The products range from single to multi-impression tools up and cold feed to hot runners. The caps and closure tooling range from 8 imp to 128 imp tools these we supply the internal stacks from new sets to modifications and repairs to re-qualification of operational tooling. Alongside the injection mould tooling we are a sole supplier to a local company for all there blow moulding tooling and equipment.

The type of equipment at AGEMASPARK and the experience we have in mould work has helped us offer a service to an investment casting company and we are currently helping them with their projects of modification to existing tools.


Plastic Mould Tooling Case Studies


<p>Silgan Closures provides closures in more than 50 countries across the globe. Their closures are used on beverage cartons, and plastic bottles, the closures need to be suitable for hot-filled and cold-filled drinks, be tamper-proof and resealable.</p>
<p>Agemaspark has worked with Silgan Closures for more than 18 years on conventional moulding tooling for their plastic injection moulding components.</p>
<p>Following an EU directive to change to tethered caps for drinks cartons we discussed making new mould tools with a view to improving the manufacturing process.</p>
<p>In one plant, the company has multiple machines meaning the overall savings if this technology was implemented across the whole factory would be significant, however, to replace all the mould tools across the plant would require significant capital investment, so we have also developed a halfway solution.</p>
<p>We can take their existing tooling and inserts and cut the top of the cores and reprint a conformal cooled top where the channels are connected to the existing waterways but this allows the surface cooling to be more effective and the costs to gain this advantage would be more acceptable in the short term. Then as the results are shown to be effective when the next tools are required as parts change or require new inserts the redesign of the tooling can take full advantage of the technical advantages of 3D printed conformal cooling design.</p> Case Study
