What this product is
Custom plastic parts can provide a durable, corrosion-resistant and lightweight alternative to many conventional metal components. They are especially useful in liquid handling, chemical processing, water and wastewater systems, industrial equipment, tanks, marine applications, and other environments where corrosion resistance and non-metallic construction are important.
The product page emphasizes four main benefits:
- Corrosion resistance
- Lower weight than many metal components
- Durability
- Customization for unique applications
Custom Parts Built Around Your Application
Off-the-shelf fittings do not always provide the dimensions, geometry, connection type, or configuration required for specialized equipment.
BARR Plastics can manufacture custom fittings and components based on your project requirements. Depending on the application, components can be produced as individual parts or incorporated into larger custom-fabricated plastic assemblies.
Our team can work from technical drawings, sketches, photos, existing design files, or project information to help determine the appropriate approach.
Custom Machined Components May Include
Custom projects can include components such as:
- Custom plastic fittings
- Tank fittings and connection points
- Threaded bosses and ports
- Flanged components
- Adapters and reducers
- Couplings and connectors
- Hose and piping adapters
- Valve components
- Equipment components
- Replacement plastic parts
- Specialty mounting or connection components
- Custom parts for fabricated tanks and liquid handling assemblies
Because every project is different, final dimensions, configuration, material selection, and fabrication method are determined based on the application.
Key Features & Benefits
Custom Dimensions and Configurations
Create components for applications where standard fittings or parts do not provide the required size, shape, connection, or geometry.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Plastic components can provide an effective solution for environments where moisture, chemicals, salts, wastewater, or other corrosive conditions can reduce the service life of metal components.
Lightweight Alternative to Metal
Plastic parts can reduce component and assembly weight compared with many traditional metal alternatives.
Non-Metallic Components
Suitable for projects where designers want to minimize the use of metal because of corrosion, compatibility, weight, or application requirements.
Integration With Custom Plastic Fabrication
Custom components can be incorporated into tanks, piping connections, liquid handling equipment, fabricated assemblies, and other plastic products.
Replacement and Specialty Parts
Custom machining can help reproduce or replace specialized components when a suitable standard part is difficult to source or unavailable.
Built for Project-Specific Requirements
Rather than adapting your system around an unsuitable standard fitting, the component can be developed around the requirements of your application.
Common Applications
Custom machined plastic fittings and components can support a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications, including:
- Chemical storage and handling
- Industrial liquid handling
- Water treatment systems
- Wastewater treatment systems
- Process tanks and equipment
- Custom polyethylene and polypropylene tanks
- Piping and fluid transfer systems
- Marine and boat applications
- Agriculture and aquaculture
- Food and materials handling equipment
- Laboratories and research facilities
- Manufacturing plants
- Equipment repair and modification
- OEM and custom equipment fabrication
Material suitability should always be evaluated against the chemical, temperature, mechanical, and operating requirements of the specific application.
