General information

Product information

We manufacture custom-fit and product-specific plastic load carriers for your production. We use new or recycled ABS, PC, PE, PP, PS or PVC as materials. We can produce double-walled load carriers using the twin-sheet process. We achieve a general tolerance in accordance with ISO 2768-c in the production of trays.

Application area of the plastic trays

Our plastic workpiece carriers are used where parts and components are moved automatically or manually through a production line. Thanks to the individual design of the trays, the components sit securely and can be processed according to plan.

Improved handling with plastic trays

The plastic workpiece carriers and trays ensure that components are mobile in both manual and automated handling in production. At the same time, the stable trays ensure a high level of product safety and reduce downtime.

FAQ

In which industries are plastic trays used?

Our production processes make us very flexible and we are not tied to individual branches of industry. However, the majority of our customers operate in the automotive, automotive supplier, medical, electrical engineering, plastics technology, metal industry and automation sectors.

What accuracy can be expected?

To ensure that the plastic trays from swissplast can be integrated into your production line without any problems, they are manufactured with high precision. We comply with ISO 2768-c.

How can protection against twisting be ensured?

To counteract the risk of twisting the plastic load carriers, we can either apply a marking with a colored strip or adjust the contour of the load carrier.

Plastic trays – top quality for your production

The plastic tray is the state-of-the-art solution when it comes to production methods in the industry. In contrast to metal trays, plastic trays are cheaper to produce and have significantly less mass. This means that they can be handled more easily by factory personnel. At the same time, there is no loss of stability with plastic trays compared to metal trays: Thanks to the selection of high-quality materials, optimum production planning and precise implementation, we are able to produce the best possible plastic trays for you cost-effectively, in large quantities and, above all, quickly. Thanks to a high level of repeat accuracy in the production of plastic trays, we have an extremely low reject rate, which in turn keeps the price low and the generation of waste to a minimum. Here we have no difficulty in working in accordance with ISO 2768-c and guaranteeing a high degree of fitting accuracy for the parts.

Plastic load carriers – a specialty of swissplast

swissplast has been manufacturing plastic load carriers and plastic KLT inserts for leading industrial companies with the greatest possible success for many years. We have a great deal of freedom when designing the load carriers and can implement your requirements exactly as planned. On the one hand, this includes the shape of the plastic load carriers, which we can realize for your specific product. On the other hand, you have a free choice when it comes to the color, thickness or printing of the plastic load carriers. Thanks to our production methods of assembly production and the twin-sheet process, we are also able to integrate other working materials or produce double-walled load carriers. In this way, swissplast supports companies in the automotive industry, medical technology or the electrical industry and contributes to increased efficiency in production with custom-fit plastic load carriers.
