Montel Plastics, Ltd. - Windsor, Ontario

Montel Plastics adds Film Insert Molding to its growing list of specialty molding processes

We are pleased to announce the addition of a Brown Model SR2536 Inline Thermoformer to our growing list of equipment. We are now able to offer in-mold appliqué products to our customers with this latest addition. In-mold appliqué or Film insert molding allows us to add a thermoformed laminated, preprinted foil to a substrate such as polycarbonate, TPO or ABS.

These foils can be virtually any finish, from solid colors to geometric patterns, organics, wood grain or any custom/random design.

Benefits include:

Protection: thermoformed materials are weather-treated to protect from UV rays and other environmental hazards
Durability: chip-resistant films and flexible paint layers plus topcoat are available to protect edges from impacts without nicks or chips
Aesthetics & Value: appliqués can be applied in different colours to match or compliment virtually any colour palette at a fraction of the cost or effort of spray painting

Montel Plastics Awarded Injection Mold Trial License for Intellimold Process

Ann Arbor, MI – Montel Plastics Ltd., a full-service plastic injection molding test facility located in the Windsor, Ontario area, has been registered and trained in Intellimold’s (Ann Arbor, MI) integrated melt pressure control technologies for injection molding process applications. The patented Intellimold process control method provides real-time measurements and control (other competitive systems only provide measurement) of cavity pressure by scanning two strategically placed pressure transducers in which a single variable is mathematically derived as a feed back for closed-loop control of the injection process.

Intellimold’s Vice President Steve Schroeder states, “Montel Plastics is a globally-recognized provider of quality services…and we’re excited that they will be able to present and demonstrate Intellimold to their impressive customer list of molders, as well as our Intellimold customers requesting Melt Pressure Control trials. Our Intellimold process will help bring an improved dimension of product and process improvement in their mold trial work, as well as unveiling our system’s benefits to the molder.”

All of Montel’s Engel injection molding machines (machine sizes ranging from 100 to 2,500 tons) are integrated with Intellimold capabilities (as well as gas assist and Alliance Gas nitrogen systems). Montel’s operator personnel have been fully trained, as well. The company is quality certified through the ISO 9001: 2000 certification process. Montel serves not only the Windsor/Detroit region with mold tryout and related services, but also the entire North American plastics marketplace.

Montel Plastics, Ltd. is headed by President Joseph Monteleone and Operations Manager Paul Monteleone.

We've Grown! - January 2005
2005 Got off to a great start for Montel Plastics Ltd., as we moved into the 5500sq/ft that was added to our existing 20,000 sq/ft facility.

The completion of the warehouse liberated floor space for the addition of an Engel 2500ton duo injection molding machine. The 2500 ton Injection molding machine was added to the try-out machine line up to accomodate a range of mold tests from 1000 ton up to 2500 ton.

In addition, the power supply to our facility was also upgraded to 1000amps from 600amps to accomodate the new machine.
