Injection molding
Almost all plastic elements of Provita products are manufactured in-house using injection molding. Injection molding is a plastic production process used to economically manufacture plastic molded parts in large quantities. For this purpose, an injection molding machine is used to plasticize the granulated plastic material in an injection unit and inject it into an injection mold. The cavity in the mold determines the shape and surface structure of the finished part. Injection molding can be used to produce parts with high precision. The injection molding process is suitable and practical for larger quantities. The cost of the mold makes up a large part of the necessary investment.
