High-volume economics
Low cost per part once the tool is built.
Scaled production · lsr injection food tooling
LSR injection tooling for high-volume food parts.
Liquid silicone rubber injection is the route for very high volumes, where the cost per part matters more than the cost of the tool.
Overview
LSR injection food tooling, done properly.
Injection moulding liquid silicone gives fast cycles and very consistent parts. It is the right answer for national-supply volumes.
We plan LSR tooling with you, placing some high-volume production with trusted UK partners where that is the right commercial answer.
What we design for
The details that make this format work.
Tight repeatability
Consistent parts across long runs.
Partner production
Some volume placed with trusted partners, managed by us.
One point of contact
One engineer runs your job from design to delivery.
What we ask up front
The same four questions we ask on every job like this.
Line rate at ramp
Not today's rate. The rate you're building for. We size tooling around ambition, not present state.
Fill and set process at volume
A production line often fills and sets differently from a bench. We factor that into the tool.
Cleandown at volume
A caustic tunnel wash is a different beast from a hand wash. Grade selection reflects it.
Second-source planning
Should the tool live on our floor, or should we deliver it to your line? Both are valid; the choice matters.

Questions
What people ask about this format.
Is injection right for us?
Only at high volume. We will say honestly if it is not.
Is it still PFAS-free platinum-cure?
We specify food-grade LSR and document the grade on every order.
Can we start with hand-poured?
Yes. Most injection jobs start that way.
