Approximately thirty six thousand square feet of state-of-the art manufacturing space are allocated to the molding operation. The facility is air conditioned and contains a fire control sprinkler system. All material handling and drying is done in confined areas separated from the controlled molding environment to ensure cleanliness and enhance quality.

Matrix Tool utilizes precision molding machines that have a barrel ounce capacity of 1.2 to 16.9 ounces and a tonnage range of 55 to 237 tons. These machines allow for high precision production repeatability. Specifications on each molding press are available on the printable Platen Chart (PDF).

Each press cell is complemented with the necessary support equipment to ensure an efficient and quality oriented molding operation. Support equipment includes material driers, granulators, water temperature controllers/ thermolators, chillers, oil temperature controllers and robotic sprue pickers. All presses are outfitted with sight glass vacuum loaders and portable drying systems and separate vacuum loaders which are tied into a central solid state controlled vacuum system. Matrix Tool also utilizes a 5 ton overhead crane and a closed loop central cooling tower system.

First Article inspection services and in-process dimensional inspections are completed using optical non-contact / Video Inspection Equipment, OGP Optical Comparitors and additional support equipment. Statistical process control activities are also completed on all production parts. All inspection is done by highly trained Plastics Engineers and quality assurance personnel.
