Bluemay Limited | Products & Services | Custom Injection Mouldings

Custom Injection Mouldings

Since the start of Bluemay in 1973, the world of injection moulding has changed dramatically. Computer controlled moulding machines, robotic equipment, new materials – each, in their way, has contributed to our ability to achieve standards of moulding and delivery times undreamt of just a few years ago.

Thanks to a continuing programme of investment in equipment and, equally importantly, in the people who use that equipment, we are able to offer the benefits of this production revolution to our customers in the form of top quality at competitive prices.

Tool Design and Manufacture

From your idea or drawing, Bluemay can help you see your project through from concept to finished component, with tooling design and drawing, manufacture of mould tools and full production of the end product part of the service of customer care offered by our experienced team in conjunction with local specialist toolmakers.

Tool Maintenance

Our strict tool maintenance routines ensure minimum wear to your tooling.

Materials

It is Bluemay policy that only virgin polymers be used in the production of our engineering mouldings. This ensures that our high standards of product quality are never compromised by the use of reground material.

All raw materials are sourced from select suppliers, with whom we have a long-standing and successful relationship.

Initially specialising in polyamides (including many types of filled nylons), our expertise has inevitably widened to include many other materials such as ABS, Acetal, Polyproylene, Styrenes and reinforced Partial Aromatic Polyamide. Please click on the Materials link to see a full list.

Bluemay maintains high stocks of many materials while other, less common materials are available within hours from our approved suppliers. In addition, our purchasing power with our suppliers can result in a lower material content price.

Production

The range of equipment we operate enables us to offer a few samples or multi-thousand component production runs, and includes

Operator-free 2 minute mould changes, giving greater flexibility of operation and reduced set up costs
Automatic monitoring of product quality
Automatic process control via “closed loop” systems
SPC production data support for quality control
Machines from 25 tonnes to 200 tonnes
Shot weight from less than 1g to 200g

Our customers range from small owner-manager businesses to multi-national household names such as Siemens, and we are well equipped to deal with JIT and KANBAN requirements. We supply almost every type of manufacturing and assembly industry, although no one customer or industry approaches 10% of our turnover.

Additional operations

Our services go beyond just the moulded component. For many years we have been able to offer customers
