INSERTION
ASSEMBLY
PACKING
Metal inserts can be incorporated into plastic components either as a post-moulding operation using heat lock insertion equipment, or by loading metal inserts into the mould tool during the ‘open’ phase during injection moulding.
Glossbrook has the capability to perform any assembly operations that customers may require. Also, because of the skills and equipment available in our tool room, we can fabricate any special jigs required to aid assembly processes.
Packing operations that we currently undertake include specialised processes such as shrink-wrapping, blister packing and the use of complex layering/division of components. We often work in conjunction with packaging suppliers to find the most suitable and economic packing solution for customer products.

Packing Operator and  the tools of the trade
Jigs can be used for a variety of purposes. Examples include providing leverage, holding components in location during some process, and simultaneous assembly of multiple numbers of components.

As a post-moulding or in-cycle moulding operation, we are more than happy to undertake specialised assembly operations for customers.

We take just as much care in bulk packing goods for delivery or collection. Bulky consignments are palletised, strapped in place, and pallet-wrapped to ensure safe transit.

Operator and example of a metal insert
A common application of inserts is to incorporate components, a threaded location into which a screw may be positioned. We can also use production equipment to locate and tighten screws in inserts, or even (dependent on plastic type) directly into the component.
