About
Design and Engineering
Anyone can design a plastic part. But not every plastic part design can be injection molded. Anderson Moulds has the experience and skill to design a part that can be economically injection molded and maintain superior physical qualities.
Mold Making
Most of our molds are now made in Asia. When we did make molds we always had a reputation for tools that would exceed SPI class standards(from Class 104 to 101). We continue to keep that reputation with our Asian molds by upgrading every foreign mold up to our standards when they arrive at our facility. We are able to to this because we have the equiptment, personnel, and experience to build our own molds.
Anderson Moulds also stongly believes in a strenuous maintenance program for all tooling. Some companies will run a mold until it needs repair or worse, until it dies. Because we disassemble and clean all molds before producing any parts the life of your molds will far exceed industry standards. This adds cost to the part price but we believe the long term benefit is justified.

Medical
We have the ability to produce FDA class I products. We mold the four parts shown above to produce a disposable prophy angle for the dental industry. We designed and built automatic assembly equiptment necessary to assemble the four parts together. The parts are then individually bagged and boxed.

Household Consumer
We mold many connectors and fittings for the waterbed industry and other related water handling industries. One part is a swival union for a garden hose fitting. We designed and built this simple rotary table to assemble the part.

Industrial
We mold and assemble parts for high power electrical circuit breakers. We also have the ability to compound in house specialty plastics for this industry. This part required the redesign of an original part that was glued together. A new mold was designed and built that allowed the two parts to snap together. The snap has been designed to hold a minimum of 230 lbs.
