Used by clients in almost any sector, from fault detection and sensor technologies to medical equipment, domestic appliances and architectural products both in the UK and internationally, complex miniature moulded plastic components by OF Bell form an essential part of production lines and supply chains whilst significantly reducing lead times and production costs.
Whether applied as part of a manufacturing process, used as components within larger technologies and assemblies, or constituting stand-alone products, hardwearing moulded plastic parts carry versatile applications across many key industries including energy production and utilities, automotive, construction, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, driving forward organisations and innovation in both public and private sectors.
A miniature component and parts specialist, OF Bell designs, develops and manufactures complex moulded plastics entirely in-house, dispatched quickly following a thorough quality-assurance process that delivers reliable and consistent products.
Consultancy with clients during our initial Product Design and Development phase identifies how OF Bell’s 24/7 engineering and manufacturing capabilities will support the long-term, scalable production of miniature and complex moulded plastics, and in particular how lead times and production costs may be reduced to deliver a more secure product supply.
OF Bell’s design engineering team develops products from scratch, designing plastic-moulded components and parts that replace more expensive metals to offer greater manufacturing efficiencies, getting components and moulded plastic parts into our clients’ supply chains more quickly.
Our in-house workshop creates intricate tooling with pin-point accuracy, including multiple-cavity tools that maximise production capacity of miniature components. Bespoke tools used with our specialist injection moulding technologies allow for the smallest shot weights, some from just 0.5g, minimising waste and preserving the quality of plastics on every mould, while overmoulding and insert moulding technologies complete precision watertight components neatly, ready for use.
Thousands of moulded plastic components are produced daily at our self-contained production facility in Bishop Auckland, Co. Durham, before being quality-checked, tested, and dispatched with supporting inspection data, weekly or on demand to clients both within the UK and worldwide.
OF Bell’s product design, in-house manufacture, assembly and testing processes reduce overall lead times for clients – in some cases from 16 weeks to just 2 – resulting in impressive time and cost savings that get moulded plastic components and parts into supply chains more efficiently.
By reshoring the production of miniature and complex moulded plastics, and backed by OF Bell’s substantial engineering experience, UK-made moulded plastic components and parts are delivered to a consistent quality, monitored through thorough testing that checks for moulding defects, dimensions and insulation integrity.
End-to-end expertise in product design and development, tooling, plastics moulding and electrical assembly by our small team gets reliable components into use quickly, professionally supporting manufacturing, construction, energy production and many more sectors on a global scale.
