Plastics Processing Machinery
Advanced machining solutions for plastic processing
Accurate, clean plastics machining
From thin sheet materials to thicker engineering plastics, successful plastics processing depends on stable machines, appropriate tooling and controlled cutting strategies. Daltons works with customers to specify solutions that minimise heat build-up, reduce edge finishing requirements and maintain repeatable accuracy across production runs.
Our experience supports both prototyping environments and high-volume production, enabling customers to process plastics efficiently and reliably.
CNC and workshop solutions for plastic processing
Plastics such as acrylic, PVC, polycarbonate, polyethylene and engineering plastics require controlled, accurate machining to achieve clean edges and consistent results. Material flexibility, heat generation and chip evacuation must all be carefully managed. Daltons supports manufacturers processing plastics by supplying advanced CNC machinery and precision workshop solutions, backed by practical application expertise and long-term technical support.
Processing recycled plastics
Recycled plastics present additional challenges compared to virgin materials, including variable material composition, inconsistent density and the presence of contaminants. Successful processing requires stable machinery, controlled cutting strategies and an understanding of how recycled materials behave under machining conditions.
Daltons has supported customers processing recycled plastics by supplying robust CNC and cutting solutions capable of handling these variations reliably.
Machinery for plastics processing
Daltons supplies a range of machinery specifically suited to plastics processing, selected for rigidity, precision and flexibility. Solutions can be supplied as standalone machines or integrated into automated workflows.
Our plastics machinery offering includes:
3 axis CNC routers and machining centres from Kimla, delivering high-speed, high-precision cutting for sheet and block plastics
Multi Axis (including rotary B axis) CNC milling solutions from Kimla, ideal for complex plastics components and tight tolerance requirements
