BORCHE Machinery on show BD160 alle lectric injection molding machine with turn-key solutions of cups injection molding at PlastImagen 2025. The picking robotic arms of the cups in the show is YUSHIN high speed 3 axis servo injection robot.

The BD series of all electric injection molding machine is an all electric injection molding machine adopts unique direct drive structure and with the mold clamping unit, the ball screw of injection unit and motor spindle integrated as a whole, which can greatly improve transmission efficiency and motor response speed produced by Borch Machinery Co., Ltd. the injection molding machine manufacturing company established in 2002 in GuangZhou.

Engery saving and precise injection molding, the all electric injection molding machine is always an high end injection molding machine in the electronic and medical parts production sector, but with more and more injection molding machine manufacturers joint in the cost of the all electric injection molding machine is now much acctractive to the producers of the dairy packages in a clean room.

A price rewarding investment of the all electric injection molding machine to the producer of dairy package is the IML containers of Yogurt or Icecream. Small as BD160 all electric injection molding machine with a clampling force of only 1600kN, it's suitable for the production of IML lids or small size containers around 100ml at a total cycle time around 5s. The IML robot for such an IML system is SWITEK SW8 series high speed side entry IML robot, the best performance of it is 2.1s in production of 4 cavities of butter cups at K-Show 2019 and 2.3s of 4 cavities IML lids at Chinaplas 2023.

P350 is a high speed injection molding machine designed for thin-wall containers while P380K3 is the third generation of high speed injection molding machine by YIZUMI designed for thin-wall containers. With 30 Tons more in clamping force, does it mean that P380K3 will compatible to the molds designed according to the parameters of P350?

In one just finished IML project we encountered something embrassing. There's one mold designed according to the parameter of YIZUMI P350, and we have a P380K3 in our system testing workshop, but when the mold received we find that the mold thinkness exceeded the max mold thickness of the P380K3. After double check the parameters of both the injection molding machine we found that Mold thickness allowed for P350 is 300~750mm while the mold thickness for P380K3 is only 250~650mm. And the Max Daylight of P380K3 is 160mm less than P350.

Then how to choose between, which one would be a better choice for your IML project? It would be depends on the size of the parts of which you're producing. For smaller container 30 Tons more clamping force with 160mm less max daylight means that the injection molding machine will have a less mold Open/Close time and result in a higher productivity while for larger size containers P350 will allow you to install a thicker mold, it would be more friendly to an IML project of deep cavity containers.
