- Design Preparation: Create detailed product designs and mold specifications.
- Mold Fabrication: Skilled toolmakers craft molds with precision and expertise.
- Material Selection: Choose suitable plastic material based on agricultural requirements.
- Injection Molding Process:
- Clamping: Securely close the mold halves using hydraulic or mechanical force.
- Injection: Melt plastic pellets in the machine and inject into the mold cavity.
- Cooling: Allow the plastic to cool and solidify within the mold.
- Mold Opening and Ejection: Open the mold and eject the solidified component.
- Post-Processing:
- Trimming and Deflashing: Remove excess material and refine the final shape.
- Secondary Operations: Perform additional processes like drilling, assembly, or finishing.
- Quality Control and Inspection:
- Visual Inspection: Check for surface defects and imperfections.
- Dimensional Checks: Measure parts to ensure they match specifications.
- Packaging and Shipping: Package finished components for distribution to agricultural businesses.

Advantages of Injection Molding in Agriculture
- flexibility. As manufacturers, we can choose the mold design and the type of material to be melted as the main ingredients of the product. Therefore, regardless of complexity, we can supply all types of parts vital to the agricultural sector.
- efficiency. Once we set up the process with the relevant molds and materials, the entire cycle moved quickly, producing thousands of parts per hour. Our machines are also very energy efficient, so we pass these savings on to our customers.
- Quality consistency. As we mentioned before, the agricultural industry takes quality and regulations very seriously. As a result, we can tightly control the parameters of the process to ensure that even if we produce thousands of products an hour, they are all of the same high quality as Reliant.
- Great value for money. After we develop the mold for the manufacturing process, the production cost is relatively low, which is one of the reasons why more farmers are turning to injection molding to meet their operational requirements.
Applications in Agriculture
The agricultural industry requires durable and reliable plastic parts that can withstand harsh outdoor conditions and repeated use. These components are used in a variety of applications including crop irrigation systems, livestock equipment and storage solutions. Elimold produces high-quality buckets, feeders, spoons and other plastic products. Here are some examples of parts we produce for our partners in the agricultural sector:
- bucket
- Lawn mower body
- Spiral hopper
- septic tank
- poultry feeder
