Plastech T.T. is an innovative and dynamic company specialising in the design and manufacture of injection machinery and related technology for use in the RTM and LRTM field of closed mould composites processing.

Operating since 1983, the company provides leading-edge machinery, equipment and tooling technology solutions to manufacturers using fibre reinforced plastics who need a controlled and cost-effective manufacturing process to produce a high quality, highly engineered range of products for their clients - these products range from simple general mouldings to aerospace components.

The world of composite manufacturing is changing and changing for the good of the industry. Customers are increasingly demanding a level of engineering quality output that traditional hand-lay and spray lay-up processes are unable to deliver. Combined with this, legislation concerning health and safety and the environment are also creating an increasing demand for the control and consistency that can only be delivered by closed mould technology such as RTM, LRTM and Film Infusion.

Against this background of change, Plastech's machinery, composite mould technology and manufacturing process development are focused solely on the practical needs of companies developing their manufacturing capabilities in composites. The products are used for the processing of many different resin systems currently used in closed mould production including polyester, epoxy, phenolic and hybrids.

The RTM and LRTM injection machinery range includes systems with manual injection control, to fully automatic injection and manipulation systems, utilising programmable logic controls. The solution can be engineered to suit the needs of our clients. Optional equipment includes Injection volume programming, Catalyst flow monitoring, Injection pressure monitoring and control, mixing and non-mixing machines and resin temperature control.

In addition, Plastech design, and manufacture composite RTM and LRTM moulds, conduct training courses world-wide in moulding technology, provide consultancy and offer a range of RTM and LRTM accessories to ensure the industry has the latest solutions available.
