Quality control (QC) in plastic moulding is crucial to ensure products meet industry standards, customer specifications, and regulatory requirements. Here’s how QC is implemented in plastic moulding companies:

1. Raw Material Inspection

Material Testing: Checking plastic resin quality.
Moisture Control: Proper drying to prevent defects.
Color and Additives Check: Verifying consistency.

2. In-Process Quality Control

Mould & Machine Setup Verification: Ensuring correct settings.
First Article Inspection (FAI): Checking initial parts.
Process Monitoring: Detecting variations with sensors.

3. Visual and Physical Inspection

Surface Finish: Ensuring smooth, defect-free parts.
Defect Analysis: Identifying common issues.
Weight Measurement: Ensuring consistency.

4. Functional Testing

Impact Resistance: Checking durability.
Tensile & Compression Tests: Evaluating strength.
Leakage & Pressure Tests: Ensuring airtight properties.

5. Final Quality Control (FQC) and Packaging

100% Inspection or Sampling: Following industry standards.
Labeling and Traceability: Assigning batch numbers.
Packaging Inspection: Ensuring safe transportation.

6. Continuous Improvement

Root Cause Analysis: Identifying and preventing defects.
SPC (Statistical Process Control): Ensuring process stability.
