More and more user interfaces with touch function are being used in the household appliance industry. With our modern and future-oriented production, we at HURST+SCHRÖDER have set the course to supply our customers with control panels made of high-quality plastic.

There is a wide range of applications for the new touch surfaces: Control panels made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC) are the ideal solution in all areas where operation and display need to be modern, simple and attractive.

Whether for cookers, ovens, hobs, coffee machines, dishwashers or other appliances, there are virtually no limits to the design. Multiple manufacturing options often result in economic advantages over glass applications. The functional components are used in modern household appliances all over the world.

Without exception, our PMMA and PC control panels are manufactured on ARBURG injection molding machines. Due to the highly sensitive plastic raw material PMMA and the further processing stages, we produce in a clean room. The closed system for material feed and the highly efficient material dedusting system ensure optimum molded part quality.

Step by step to a modern control panel

• Injection molding in the clean room to avoid dust generation
• Laser cutting and/or milling
• Customised and individual printing in the clean room using a UV screen printing system and classic pad printing
• 100% print image control
• Complete component assembly
• Assembly technology for applying adhesive systems and conductive films with touch sensors
• Wide range of quality controls, e.g. for surface resistance and light tightness
