Tooling Services
Durant Plastics understands the commitment and investment that our valued customers have made or will make, through the purchase of tooling to manufacture your components. Durant Plastics and Manufacturing has a standard no-cost program where we maintain your tooling with routine clean, inspection and service at the end of each production run. This program includes but is not limited to the following:
- All mold surfaces are cleaned and inspected for damage.
- All cavities are cleaned and inspected for damage.
- All cores are cleaned and inspected for damage.
- All ejector pins are cleaned, inspected for damage, and lubricated.
- All leader pins are cleaned and inspected for damage.
- All water channels are cleaned and inspected for damage.
- Short term rust preventative will be applied prior to storage.
Last shots are inspected and compared to First Article Inspection.
Tool repairs from normal wear and tear will be discussed and approved with/by our customer's representatives prior to any tolling work being performed.
Engineering changes requested (ECN) will be performed by our experienced engineering/tooling department at the current reasonable shop rates at the time of the ECN or repair. Inactive tooling (no production for 6 months) is subject to a storage / maintenance fee of $50.00 per month.
