Precision Centreless Grinding of Engineering Plastic Rod

At Industrial Plastic Solutions, we provide high-precision centreless grinding services for engineering plastic rod, delivering tight tolerances, superior surface finishes, and consistent dimensional accuracy for demanding industrial applications.

Using specialised grinding equipment and extensive plastics machining experience, Industrial Plastic Solutions can process a wide range of engineering thermoplastics to suit manufacturing, OEM, maintenance, and custom fabrication requirements across Australia.


Precision Ground Plastic Rod Solutions

Our centreless grinding services are ideal for applications requiring:

  • Accurate outside diameters
  • Improved roundness and concentricity
  • Tight dimensional tolerances
  • Consistent surface finishes
  • Reduced machining time for customers
  • Ready-to-machine or ready-to-install components

We can grind plastic rod to customer-specified diameters and tolerances, helping reduce waste and improve machining efficiency for downstream manufacturing processes.


Materials We Commonly Grind

IPS can centreless grind a broad range of engineering plastics, including:

  • HDPE
  • UHMWPE
