Replacement Mould Carriage for Alto Plastics

14/06/19

A failed weld on a high production Moulding Machine Carriage saw Alto Plastics looking for a better solution than the fabricated OEM part. They approached Track Industries with the idea of machining a replacement from a single billet, eliminating the need for welded joints. Track accepted the challenge and while Alto made drawings of the Carriage, we set about sourcing a suitable billet. We agreed on a slab of P20 Tool Steel 415mm x 165mm x 1250mm. A lot of machine hours later Alto had a new Carriage which was installed and has performed flawlessly.
