Equipment Description

A manufacturing machine used for injection molding. A thermoplastic material is softened by heat and then injected into a mold held in place by a clamping unit. This process enables relatively high production rates, depending on the material used. It is generally carried out at high temperatures to maintain the material in a fluid state until molding.

Technical Specifications

• Mold clamping force: 60 tonnes

• Amount of material injected: Depending on the selected die and mold

• Various molds available
