Injection molding for cork seals

How can injection molding optimize the production of cork composite joints?

Use of the injection process in cork composite joints, not only modernizes production but also offers an efficient solution.

The use of the injection process to produce cork composite joints is an innovative solution that ensures industrial efficiency and delivers significant economic advantages. This process eliminates the need for additional finishing steps and, in the case of large volumes, reduces operating costs while offering a high quality end product.

The injection process consists of introducing a specific mixture of material into a mold, which is then subjected to controlled pressure and temperature. It is thereby possible to guarantee that the final product has precise dimensions and consistent technical characteristics, eliminating the need for any additional operations. The flexibility of the moulds also makes it possible to create complex, customized shapes, in function of the specific requirements of each application.

Unlike traditional methods, which require separate stages of vulcanization, lamination to ensure the right thickness and cutting for the final shape, the injection process simplifies the workflow by combining these phases in a single mold and work flow. This delivers advantages such as optimization of production time of the joint and less waste of materials, thereby reducing production costs.

  • The ongoing bet on technology and innovation

    Amorim Cork Solutions has invested in integrating and perfecting the injection molding process for the production of cork composite joints in order to respond effectively to growing market demands.
