MERRIOTT / TALISMAN GROUP delivers specialist thermoplastic injection moulding, thermoset compression and thermoset injection moulding (DST) services to our commercial clients.
We pride ourselves at being experts. Merriott Group is dedicated to providing the latest equipment for these specialist processes. Our presses range from 25 tonnes through to 1100 tonnes in tonne clamping pressure.
INJECTION MOULDING
We utilize programmable controllers to fine-tune the whole process which gives us the flexibility to manufacture for large and small businesses alike. With our facilities based here in the UK, we can produce the smallest plastic injection mouldable component through to one that has a footprint of over 1 square meter. Our professional moulding team also uses a variety of auxiliary equipment to keep production costs down, including robots and sprue pickers.
The team at Merriott Plastics Group are specialists in mould design including the choice of tool steels, heat treating of the tool steels and plating requirements for tool life and part finish.
COMPRESSION MOULDING
Merriott Group provides a specialist compression moulding service to clients in the UK, and across the world. Our specialist team is able to produce composite moulded components in a range of sizes from a few grams up over 10 kilos in weight.
Side ram and transfer ram presses allow us to design and make everything from small insulators for the electronic industry through to one-piece railway carriage seats for trains and many more applications. Parts made in compression materials do not warp, shrink, expand, and offer higher fire resistance and strength.
COMPRESSION MOULDING ADVANTAGES
The advantage of compression moulding is the ability to produce large structural, mechanical and insulating parts without restrictions on wall section differences. Mould tools are manufactured in steel, that is then either hardened or chrome plated for good tool life and wearing properties.
Our UK-based manufacturing process allows us to minimise costs and produce quality parts for businesses for many different applications, supported by a local team who can react and delivery quickly.
REDUCING COSTS
Composite moulding can be used to reduce costs of metal and die cast parts, with mouldings that can include threaded inserts either moulded-in, or post mould inserted, coloured materials limited by material type, and to repeatable tolerances . During the design process, we offer a specialist material selection process to ensure the material properties suit the application in question. Options range from wood flour/glass/mineral or combination of-filled phenolics through to advance glass-filled flame retardant polyesters, as well as standard BMC/DMC, SMC, and melamine materials. Alongside this, our range of presses ensures we are always equipped to meet the needs of our clients with presses ranging in clamp tonnage from 20 to 450t, plus side ram and transfer presses.
