Fuel Tank

Basing on its experience in twin sheet thermoforming, Cannon has developed a dedicated solution for production of fuel tanks. The two sheets, which compose the two tank’s halves, are first heated to the correct temperature and thermoformed independently. They are then joined together inside a high tonnage press to grant perfect sealing. Thanks to this…

Bumper, Spoilers and Rocker Panels

Polyurethane RRIM (reinforced reaction injection moulding) and RIM (reaction injection moulding) contends to plastics the title for preferred material in manufacturing external body parts for vehicles, such as bumpers, spoilers, rocker panels, fenders, etc. Despite the higher cost, polyurethane prevails in terms of mechanical properties, cost of tooling, cost of processing equipment and time to…
