Solutions for the Demands of Molding, Forming & Extruding.

NIX® Industrial supports the plastics industry by providing machined components and custom metal fabrication including catwalks, hoppers, grinder screens, mezzanines, and flat back elbows to help transfer material from silo to facility. We repair services for processing equipment such as extruders, mixers, and dryers. We manufacture and refurbish critical gearboxes, shafts, and frames, and offer industrial coatings that protect equipment from wear, corrosion, and chemical exposure. Our short-run manufacturing capabilities allow us to quickly produce replacement parts, while our field services team can assist with on-site repairs and installations to reduce downtime.

THERMOFORMING

COMMON PROJECTS

We’ve supported thermoforming operations by fabricating heavy-duty oven frames, trim stations, and roll stands, as well as machining tooling bases and press components. Our team has repaired cracked machine frames, rebuilt forming stations, and reverse-engineered worn-out parts to keep production lines moving. We also apply industrial coatings to protect against heat and material buildup in high-wear areas.

EXTRUSION & CUSTOM COMPOUNDING

EXTRUSION & CUSTOM COMPOUNDING

For extrusion and custom compounding operations, we’ve machined and rebuilt feed screws, die heads, and gearbox housings, and fabricated support frames, hoppers, and platforms. Our team has handled emergency repairs on extruder barrels and performed precision alignments on drive components to reduce vibration and wear. We also apply high-temp coatings to components exposed to abrasive or corrosive materials, helping extend equipment life in tough processing environments.

ROTO MOLDING

ROTO MOLDING

For the rotomolding industry, we’ve fabricated custom mold frames, machined alignment fixtures, and repaired cracked arms and machine bases. Our team has reverse-engineered and rebuilt large steel molds, reinforced oven structures, and applied high-temp coatings to protect against heat distortion and wear. Whether it’s a broken arm or a warped frame, we help get rotomolding systems back online fast with durable, shop-tested solutions.

FEATURED

Safety Platforms for Plastic Injection Molding Operations

An automotive manufacturer in the plastics industry approached us with a safety project involving their newly acquired plastic injection molding press. The customer needed to create a safe working environment around the press. The project included the design, fabrication, and installation of platforms, catwalks, ladders, steps, and handrails. The customer requested a complete turnkey solution—from initial design to final installation—within a timeline of 6–8 weeks.

Our Process

3D Scanning & Design: Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we retrieved precise measurements of the molding press and its surrounding area. Our engineering team created detailed models based on the scan, ensuring…
