Our solutions

We offer many different production processes to manufacture your healthcare solution

Injection Moulding

We are specialised in high precision components based on injection moulding technology. Our design for manufacturing takes the requirements for mould design and automated assembly into account bringing our customers competitive advantages in their polymer products.

2k Moulding

With 2k moulding technology we integrate part functions into the injection moulding proces removing the need for seperate assembly steps. This enables cost efficient production and reduces downstream assembly risks. If the design does not allow this we offer K+K.

k+k Moulding

Where 2K moulding seems impossible due to product geometry, we offer K+K transfer moulding as an alternative. The advantages of 2K eleminating the disadvantages of in mould integration. It requires more equipment but allows the integrated part functionality 2K moulding offers.

Insert Moulding

Component and function integration by insert/over moulding. This technology allows the component to be embedded into the part where the function stability is improved. Although dedicated investments often are required during the development phase alternatives are possible.

IML In-Mould_Labelling

We use in mould decoration / labeling techniques to create high quality graphics for our customers to enable them to provide top class visual parts for devices.

 

Microfluidics

Microfluidic technology is the heart of new diagnostic systems, e.g for point-of-care, environmental testing or testing in pharmaceutical and food processes. The interaction of micro and nano structures on polymer parts with biochemicals creates a small lab-on-a-chip. Our development team, together with flow alliance and strategic supply partners, supports the development of the microfluidic components. Variations in tool replication technologies gives us the options to replicate nano, micro and macro structures.

Cleanroom Manufacturing

For products demanding a classified cleanliness we are able to manufacture your component in a cleanroom environment. 

Plastic Engineering

You have an idea, but not sure if it can be manufactured? Helvoet’s expertise in design for manufacturing is what you need. Co-development and plastic engineering is our specialty. By partnering with our design staff, your time to market can be reduced tremendously. 

We process all kind of thermoplastic materials from the more basic ones up to high end compounds

Standard Thermoplastics

In our locations we handle all typical thermoplastic polymers like PP, PE, ABS to produce your required product. 

Engineering Thermoplastics

If a product has a higher requirement on precision, stability or resistance we usually use engineering compounds like PA6, PA66, POM – often filled with reinforcing materials like glassfibres. 

High-Performance Thermoplastics

When the application required really special properties we switch to high end compounds in our manufacturing process. Here we use materials like PPS, PEI, PEEK with diverse reinforcing fillers to meet the specifications and tolerances of our customers. 

Most of the technical products leaving our facilities require some extra treatment after the moulding process. We offer all post-processing steps in-house 

Printing

With various printing techniques and methods Helvoet can help you mark, identify, and trace your products. From manual tampon printing up to continuous motion high speed printing in two colours we can deliver your needs. 

Sterilization

Our sterilization services are essential for ensuring the safety and sterility the medical devices and equipment of our customers. We offer to organise sterilisation and validation of the polymer components we supply. We do this with sterilisation partners in long term contracts.

Clean room production

We offer production in class 7 cleanrooms. The production in our hardwall clean rooms but also in a lower cost soft wall environment. The right environment for the application leading to cost efficient high-quality production environments.

Ultrasonic Welding

Assembly techniques like ultra-sonic welding are used when you have two components that are made from the same material, but can’t be made as one part due to geometry. Helvoet uses this as a fast, accurate, clean and leak tight method of assembly. 

Laser Welding

Laser welding, also called transmission welding, is another technique used establish a reliable bond of thermoplastic materials. A focused laser beam goes through a transmissive layer onto an absorption layer and as it is turned into heat energy the plastics melt and form a stable connection. Helvoet can assist you with selecting the right materials and process for your part. 

Washing / Rinsing

Helvoet measures their products in microns and understands that contamination can occur in the numerous processes. Thus we have developed a sophisticated washing and drying process to remove contamination and ship products that meet your demanding requirements. 

Coding (RFID)

At Helvoet we provide different ways to trace a production and in many applications RFID or Coding is used. Having 100% traceability and full transparency in the assembly process gurantees that we can deliver the highest quality parts to you, our customer. 

Filling

With experience in both dry powder and liquid filling we can offer you a one stop shop solution. Especially in our health tech business we are filling molded primary packaging and diagnostic products with desiccant granulate or with liquids to offer additional benefits to our customers. 

Leak Testing

If a product like an ABS System leaks you will have a problem. That request you to have 100% leak-testing before you assemble. Helvoet’s expertise in managing and monitoring the flow of media (fluid, air, gas), has given us a wide variety of experiences developing custom leak-testing equipment and integrating it in our production processes. 

Vision Inspection

Did you know that 100% visual inspection by a human is only 80% accurate? Is that good enough for your products? Inline cameras have been placed at many locations throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the quality of your products. 

Measuring

If you can measure it you can improve it! Measuring in nanometers and microns is becoming the norm in industry today. Helvoet’s measuring capability includes state of the art equipment such as interferometers, air gauging, video measuring, contour roughness, 3D whitelight and other contactless measuring devices. 

We offer various methods to assemble different components to a final functional product which can be used directly

Manual Assembly

Sometimes the process or the project do not allow an automated assembly. In these cases we can offer manual assembly in our locations in Poland and India. 

Semi-Automated Assembly

A project that has a combination of low and high risk components, is a great target for semi-automated assembly. Using automation for the most critical components, and low-cost flexible labor for others, Helvoet offers their clients the lowest landed cost with highest levels of quality. 

Automated Assembly

Using more than 3, 4, 7 or 11 components? Helvoet has answered numerous industrial challenges and designed dedicated, fully automated assembly lines running continuously. With automated assembly including in-line quality controls like vision or leakage tests or functional tests, the part quality is ensured by 100%. 

Flexline Technology

Using over 40-years of experience in assembly of precision components, Helvoet has developed an own Flex-Line Technology. By utilizing interchangeable modules for each assembly step, Helvoet offers the quality of a fully automated line while it is a flexible and cost effective solution due to lower investment and changeover times.
