Plastic moulded parts with a modern design
Plastic is increasingly being used in mechanical engineering instead of sheet metal. In addition to their extreme resistance properties, today’s plastics have the great advantage that they are not only lighter, but also allow three-dimensional design. With modern design, manufacturers in plastics processing such as swissplast stand out in the mechanical engineering industry and inspire more and more customers with plastic molded parts.
Customized plastic components in mechanical engineering
We offer the complete range of grains and colors and already supply many original appliance manufacturers with our plastic molded parts through long-term customer partnerships. Our customized plastic components impress with their impact resistance, chemical resistance and UV resistance. The plastic molded parts ensure a longer service life and protect the condition of the machines. We also have enormous design freedom in terms of shape, color and surfaces. We can also meet all requirements for the thickness of the molded parts, from very thin plastic parts to extremely thick material thicknesses. Our team will be happy to advise you on your specific project requirements.
Plastic components in plant engineering
With our plastic parts in plant engineering, we have a wide range of options for producing optimally individualized components. Our main focus here is on two points: firstly, we attach great importance to high product quality and therefore high component stability. This increases the longevity of the systems and reduces the need for maintenance. On the other hand, our working techniques give us a great deal of freedom in the area of design. In this way, we not only meet the high technical requirements, but can also help to ensure that your machines are economically and aesthetically designed. The aim is always to integrate the molded parts smoothly.

Plastic components in plant engineering – the benefits
Plastic components are important elements in plant construction and mechanical engineering today. It is increasingly worthwhile to use plastic instead of sheet metal components or metal parts in machines. The advantages are obvious: plastic parts in mechanical engineering are lighter than sheet metal parts of the same shape. This promotes lightweight construction and may reduce the required engine power of the machine. This change is also relevant for transportation. In addition, the use of plastic components in plant engineering opens up new design possibilities: Molds can be manufactured even more precisely, which in turn increases the work and space efficiency of the machines. Another advantage of plastic parts in plant engineering is that they also improve the aesthetics of the machines. Last but not least, plastic components in mechanical engineering are inexpensive to produce, especially in larger runs, and thus reduce the overall costs of product realization.
Which plastic parts can be manufactured in mechanical engineering?
Thanks to the deep drawing process, there are virtually no limits to the type of plastic components we can produce in plant engineering. In addition to machine cladding, machine covers and machine doors, swissplast manufactures customised machine cladding or plastic housings in the mechanical engineering plastic parts segment, for example. An important aspect for us is the plastic housing design, which you as a customer can determine individually. In addition to the shape for your plastic components in mechanical engineering, you can decide on the material thickness, colour, surface finish and possible integration of other materials. Deep drawing containers and deep drawing parts for use in industrial machines are part of our repertoire. We are also happy to equip machine displays and control consoles with the necessary cladding parts. Please contact us with your individual request, we will be happy to advise you on the implementation in the category plastic components in mechanical engineering.
For which industrial machines do we manufacture plastic parts in mechanical engineering?
Here too, the list of possible applications for our plastic parts in plant engineering is long, because we can implement your plastic components in mechanical engineering, from small to large devices and systems: Among other things, we build plastic components for crimping machines, water filters, sorting systems, pallet strapping systems, pottery machines, measuring devices and testing equipment, conveyor machines and dosing machines, brake test benches, industrial vacuum cleaners, storage systems and stacking systems, recycling systems or handling equipment. Our plastic components for machines are therefore used in many different branches of industry. What remains the same is the high quality, long service life and great reliability of the parts. Industrial machines are exposed to high loads, especially in daily use, which must be compensated for by the quality of our deep-drawn parts. This reduces the maintenance requirements of the machines and they remain in operation for longer.
