As the center of the IML system, to choose an injection molding machine of which is the most suitable to your IML containers and mould design would be the key points to start a success IML project. Before the decision making of an injection molding machine for your project, you should keep in mind:

The material of which the IML containers to be produced from
The opening stroke of the injection molding machine
The expected cycle time of the system

For different parts, you can choose different type of injection molding machine according to your budget and expected daily output of the IML containers.

High Speed Injection Molding Machine for Think-wall Containers

High Speed Hydraulic Injection Molding Machine:
For thin wall containers, a high speed hydraulic injection molding machine is no doublt a price smart choice for your IML project. There're many producers of high speed hydraulic injection molding machine manufacturers in China, among which the most popular would be:
- Haitian MARS F/H series high speed injection molding machine
- YIZUMI P/S3 series high speed injection molding machine
- HMD SP series high speed injection molding machine
- ChenHsong Speed-Pack series high speed injection molding machine
- Golden Eagle GEKW/GS series high speed injection molding machine
- Powerjet KF series of high speed injection molding machine
- DAKUMA DKM/HH series high speed injection molding machine
Hybrid Injection Molding Machine
A high speed hybrid injection molding machine will have more energy efficiency than a hydraulic injection molding machine, the popular hybrid injection molding machine made in China include:
- Yizumi D1-E series of hybrid injection molding machine
- Haida KDY series of high speed hybrid injection molding machine
- FCS AF series hybrid injection molding machine
- PowerJet JEV Series hybrid injection molding machine
All Electric Injection Molding Machine
As a solution of energy saving and clean production, an all electric injeciton molding machine would be the top choice for the IML production of thin-wall food package, the recommended brand would be:
- Zhafir ZE/VE series of all electric injection molding machine
- Yizumi E series of high speed all electric injection molding machine
- VALMO Real P series full electric injection molding machine
- HMD EM Series full electric injection molding machine
- LK ELETTRICA Series of full electric injection molding machine
- BOLE FE Series all electric injection molding machine
- WELLTEC D Series all electric injection molding machine

Injection Molding Machine for IML Paint Buckets

As a deep cavity products, the production of an IML paint buckets will request the injection molding machine to have a larger opening stroke. To reduce the cost of the injection molding machine, some of the injection molding machine manufacturers from China custom designed the machine specialized for the production of IML paint bucket, among which include:

HD B/U series of injection molding machine for IML paint bucket production
PowerJet PB series of injection molding machine for IML paint bucket production
LiSong GT/DT Series of injection molding machine for IML Paint bucket production

Q & A About Robotic Arms and Injection Automation

Why is 8 Cavities Mold Design the Best Solution for Elbow with Nuts?

For PVC/PPR pipe fittings with nuts with a diameter of around φ25mm most of the producer will choose an injection molding machine of around 250T and a mold cavities of 8 Cavities, will a more cavities mold design with a larger injection molding machine a better choice for pipe fittings producers?

8 Cavities Pipe Fittings Nut Insertion Automation Solution

According to the experience of working with LESSO group in the automiztion of their PVC/PPR pipe fittings injection production system, we finally decide to have an 8 cavities mold deisgn with 250T injection molding machine because:

A 250T injection molding machine with 8 cavities mold design is an economic investment to start up a pipe fittings injection production system.
For a pipe fittings auto-injection production system with nut insertion, the weight of the EOAT would be very heavy. An eight cavities solution will perfectly balance the payload of the injection robot and weight of the EOAT.
An 8 cavities layout design of the pipe fittings will produce a better mold flow during the injection production of the pipe fittings.

Anyway, to upgrade your PVC/PPR pipe fittings injection molding system you must keep in mind that it's only valuable to have an automation system for bulk production products, which means that one injection molding machine with only one mold to be equipped with one automation system for the pipe fittings' Nut insertion, runner cutting and parts picking.

For any other question about a PVC/PPR pipe fittings auto-production system please contact Adams from SWITEK for a turn-key solutions of pipe fittings production.
