Plastics Services

Plastic Fabrication

Plastic Fabrication

Superline is equipped with a multi-purpose plastic fabrication workshop. We use highly skilled plastics fabricators and computer controlled machinery to manufacture all  plastic products. From simple line bent acrylic, to plastic fabricated lettering and point of purchase display systems, Superline can provide all of your plastic needs.

CNC Machining

CNC Machining

Superline has a fully equipped CNC machining facility, which includes 3 and 5 axis routers for machining precision plastic parts to exacting tolerances. Our CNC Routers are industrial strength, high quality trimming machines, designed for continuous high output production.

Thermoforming

Thermoforming

Superline is equipped with state of the art thermoforming machines. The thermoforming process involves producing parts from a plastic sheet using temperature and pressure. Thermoforming has replaced products previously manufactured from wood, metal and fibreglass and is a proven alternative to injection moulding.

Toolmaking

Toolmaking

Superline has a complete in-house toolmaking facility. Tools can be manufactured from timber, epoxy resin, aluminium or steel depending on the tool life required and the number of parts to be produced. Tooling is temperature controlled to ensure consistent quality parts.

Ultrasonic Welding

Ultrasonic Welding

This method of welding enables thermoformed applications to be bonded together in twin skin for the attachment of hardware, internal parts or reinforcing. High-frequency ultrasonic vibrations are applied to the thermoplastic part being held together under pressure, to create a solid-state weld.

Blow Moulding

Blow Moulding

This is a technique where a heated sheet is clamped around the edges and then air pressure is applied into the centre to form a shape.  This technique uses compressed air to produce “blown” parts such as domes or skylights. As tool costs are minimal, it is a very economical process.

Vaccum Forming

Vacuum Forming

This technique is a more manual process, as plastic sheets are often dryed or pre heated in an oven. Once the sheet is moulded, it is left to cool naturally producing a low stressed component. Vacuum forming uses vacuum and air pressure to assist in the forming process and is commonly used for signage applications using acrylic materials.

We also cater to a range of other manufacturing processes including vacuum forming, injection moulding and rotational moulding.
