New equipment has always played a key role in expanding agricultural efficiency. Plastic parts have become essential components in agricultural equipment due to their light weight, resistance to environmental conditions, cost-efficiency, and adaptability for many uses. Further down the supply chain, plastic parts are widely used in food manufacturing due to their versatility, durability, and ability to meet strict hygiene and safety standards.
AIM Processing supports the agricultural and food manufacturing industry with high volume production capacity for small plastic parts having complex geometries. Our staff of experienced engineers will help design cost-effective, high-quality solutions for the plastic parts you need.
High-capacity production
With 37 presses that run 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, AIM Processing can handle any size injection molding project. Using multi-cavity tooling and lights-out automation combined with trimming and packaging, we achieve high throughput.
High production efficiency
Supply chain efficiency and sophisticated forecasting models enable us to ship over 85% of custom parts from stock. Our automated operation permits us to have a very competitive cost model allowing us to take on projects that a non-automated molder would consider unattractive.
If your business is subject to surges in demand, we will stock quantities of parts for you. We can often provide same day fulfillment. Our centralized shipping location allows us to reach your delivery destinations quickly.
Expertise for optimum material selection
Our mechanical engineers have expertise and experience with a broad range of engineering plastics. For parts used in food production, our engineers can provide guidance on the optimum plastics with high strength and food-safe qualities. Our engineers can recommend materials that meet FDA and EU regulatory standards for non-toxicity and hygiene if parts come in contact with a food product.
Disciplined process development
Our engineering team of materials engineers, process engineers, and quality engineers will work with your engineers to ensure a cost-effective manufacturing process. If needed, we can make recommendations for tooling to meet critical dimensional requirements. The team will define process steps, tool maintenance procedures, and quality control measures to maintain a dimensionally stable part.
Additional manufacturing services
To help you reduce your manufacturing costs and manufacturing steps, we can perform sub-assembly work. If needed, we also can conduct ultrasonic welding and heat staking. Furthermore, we can laser etch and mark parts for identification and traceability.
Tight tolerances for precision assemblies
If you have a part that must fit tightly into a precision assembly, we can produce small parts with tolerances of ±0.001 inch. That capability allows us to manufacture 100% yield components in high volume runs without the need for detailed part inspection.
Maximizing tool performance
Our in-house tooling team maintains and keeps your tooling clean. We ensure that the tool continues to supply quality parts that meet all required specifications during every production run. Our care for your tooling optimizes the life of the tool to maximize your return-on-investment.
Quality-focused for consistent production
You can have confidence in the parts we manufacture for you. We are committed to the highest quality standards as evidenced by our ISO 9001:2015 registration. We execute a documented set of procedures to provide you with consistent parts that meet and exceed your requirements.
Long-term partnerships
We pride ourselves in fostering long-term partnerships with our clients. Our engineering team is always available to consult on design improvements, material selection, and cost optimization.
