Premier Plastics®

Services

Premier Plastics is quickly developing a reputation of being able to take a drawing from a thumbnail sketch and turn it into reality in a short period of time. We have the ability to design molds, create prototypes, and engineer products. This is why we can respond to the needs of our customers very quickly.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Quality assurance of our products is the main focus at Premier Plastics. We manufacture every piece in accordance with documented procedure and customer requirement. We assure our products consistently meet our customer and applicable regulatory requirements. We concentrate on addressing customer satisfaction through effective application, including processes for continual improvement and prevention of nonconformity.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Premier Plastics is truly a North American company excelling at satisfying customers in a niche market. We understand that many companies don't have the time to focus on certain components and accessories. We also understand many companies have very tight budgets. We take pride in having the assisting role in filling our customers' product lines. Our customers trust us to get the job done right. We continue to be successful in responding to our customers needs in a fast yet effective manner. Premier Plastics has full design and product development assistance. By utilizing CAD/CAM Software and In House Tooling, we can produce full size parts that represent production quality within days. In conjunction we can design and model your concept and perform various types of computer generated analysis using our Finite Element Software (FEA).

Premier Plastics is involved from the pattern and prototype stage all the way through assembly and shipping.

Roto-molding

STANDARD FEATURES:

Our roto-machines offer full spherical swing of the molds.
Arm indexing motors are all AC driven for maximum control of acceleration and deceleration to provide precise positioning of each arm with minimum shock.
Air assisted to assure consistent parts.

ARMS:

Both of our individual machines have the advantage of having 3 independent arms.
Each independent arm is equipped with variable speed, AC motors, and HD gearboxes for both the major and minor axes.

Vacuum Forming

STANDARD FEATURES:

All of our machines are top and bottom platen.
Large part capability, up to 6ft x 10ft.
Pressure form capability.
Pressure heat distribution.

SPECIFICS:

Our equipment specializes in heavy gauge thermoforming.
The parameters of products are from .030 inch to 1 inch in thickness and a 40 inch draw capability.
High or low volume runs.

IN-HOUSE TOOL & DEVELOPMENT

Experimental research, custom engineering, and design assistance are all part of our in-house tooling and development program. We know how crucial proper design is for the manufacturing, assembly, and ultimate success of the product. Our development equipment includes an End Mill, Lathe, and Prototype Molding Stations, among many other components. Premier Plastics is proud to guide customers through the tooling and development process, in addition to the manufacturing of the product. Performing the whole product process in-house not only saves our customers precious time, but money as well.

SECONDARY OPERATIONS

Clicker Press
The removal of excess materials on gauge cutouts and dash panels is necessary to produce a flawless part. Our Clicker Press is used to accurately cutout finished vacuum formed components for our customers with cookie cutter perfection.

CNC Machines
Trimming is a critical step in the evolution of a finished thermoformed part. As a result, we have a two contemporary five-axis CNC router machines. Our machines is designed specifically for the three dimensional trimming, cutting, and shaping of molded plastic parts. This is done in order for us to give our customer an even bigger advantage of excellence!

Dimension BST 1200es 3D Printer
Catalyst® EX software automatically imports STL files, orients the part, slices the file, generates support structures (if necessary), and creates a precise deposition path to build your ABSplus model. Multiple models can be packed within the build envelope to maximize efficiency. Catalyst® EX provides queue management capabilities, build time, material status and system status information. Dimension 3D Printers run unattended and provide system and build status information via e-mail, pager, or the Internet.

Dryer Oven
Used for curing molds and drying plastic, our dryer oven is essential for our in-house mold making process. The gas fired power source is also used to reduce moisture content in vacuum formed material. Other features include a control sensitive programmer system and an enduring high temperature uniformity cycle.

MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT

Premier Plastics strides to be a leader in material and new material development. We offer many options and combinations of materials. We constantly evaluate and develop new material for our industry by working closely with material and resin suppliers. From our experience, we will recommend the best material and process for your application.

ULTRASONIC PLASTIC WELDING SYSTEM

These lightweight, yet rugged and reliable units are easy to operate and are designed specifically for welding, staking, inserting and spot welding applications. The hand held welders consist of an ultrasonic power supply and an ultrasonic hand held converter. The 20 kHz hand held converter is supplied with a standard 1/2” (12.7mm) diameter flat-faced welding tip that attaches to an integral titanium front driver. This front driver has a 1/4-28 threaded end to accept other standard or custom tips. The 40 kHz hand held converter is supplied with an 8 mm threaded titanium front driver for horn attachment. Horns are sold separately and are custom designed to customer requirements.
