Molding
MAMCO employs three basic methods of custom injection molding - shoot and ship,
insert molding, and reel-to-reel molding. Shoot-and-ship jobs do not require
inserts and are placed directly on a press for molding. Insert molding requires
either hand loading or placement by robotics into the molding tool. Finally,
reel-to-reel molding is basically a continuous insert molding mechanism. Out of
more than 7,000 national molding companies, MAMCO is one of only a handful that
specializes in this useful reel-to-reel technology.
MAMCO additionally works with various grades of plastic on its manufacturing floor.
The range of molding presses is also broad. The company utilizes 30 presses,
each using anywhere from 30 tons to 210 tons of pressure.
