Molding Machinery

Injection Machines use barrier screws for melt uniformity.

Maxima two-platen injection machines are available in 6 sizes with clamp force rating of 2,750-7,820 kN. Wide-platen configurations accommodate molds that normally require tie-bar spacing of larger machines. With footprint of 6,588 x 2,251 x 2,300 mm, smallest machine accommodates molds weighing up to 3,762 kg with 650 mm thickness, with tie-bar spacing of 915 x 660 mm and clamp stroke of 1,060...

Injection Molding Machines range from 720-1200 tons.

Series em combines electric and hydraulic features for reduced cycle times. Two-platen mechanism provides accurate mold clamping, while linked split nut drive results in simultaneous actuation. Peakless Pressure Control eliminates high-pressure spikes at end of fill during high-speed injection. Long platen supports resist tilting and ensure parallelism of moving platen and mold. MAC-VIII control...

Injection Molding Machines provide mold protection software.

Injection Molding Machines provide mold protection software.

Mold Guard and Ejector Guard software, for Powerline injection molding machines, compare measured clamp and ejector forces to established force reference curves padded with alarm band. Programs stop component forward movement if measured force exceeds alarm band limits, preventing mold damage and premature mold wear. Both programs are ON/OFF selectable, and automatically compensate for force...

Injection Molding Presses make dual, independent injections.

Injection Molding Presses make dual, independent injections.

Presses make sequential or simultaneous injection of 2 materials, such as rubber, liquid silicone, or thermoplastic elastomers. Machines work 3 ways: 2 consecutive shots into adjacent cavities; simultaneous or sequential shots into single cavity; or simultaneous shots into 2 separate cavities. Onboard PC controls operation of dual injection heads, closing/clamp unit, and all other electrical,...

Accumulator Head features spiral diverter.

Design of Sterling Blow Molding accumulator head offers optimal parison wall distribution by balancing delivery of material around head. Streamlined flow channels and elimination of stagnation points enhances head purgability, resulting in faster color changes. Overlapping spiral geometry minimizes temperature and flow variations while eliminating knit lines within finished product.
