PlastImagen 2025, HMD, the Chinese injection molding machine manufacturer who is known for their high speed hydraulic injection molding machine in the thin-wall packages production, on showed their HMD 268M8-IIP with turn-key solutions of cups production and have the cups picked by Runma high speed robot.

Hwamda (HMD) is the injection molding machine manfuacturer founded in 1990 in NingBo city, the manufacturering base of injection molding machines of the world with big names like Haitian, Sumitomo Demag etc. and HMD268M8-IIP is one of their star high speed hydraulic injection molding machine suitable for the production of thin-wall containers like snack box, Yogurt cups etc.

The injection molding solution on showed PlastImagen 2025 is a two cavities cups injection molding solution with the cups picked by a Runma high speed robot. A more rewarding investment would be an IML system with HMD268M8 and SWITEK SW8 series high speed side entry IML Robot in production of small size IML Yogurt cups or lids. The total cycle time can be expected to be around 5.5s in production of 6 cavities of IML Yogurt Cups.

The distributing agent of HMD high speed injection molding machine is Tai-MEX, which is an injection machinery distriubting company with experience of of injection molding system integration and installation service for more than 10 years to provide a one stop purchasing and service of injection molding machinery.

BL530EKH is a hydraulic servo energy saving injection molding machine with a clamping force of 5300kN with BOLE central clamping toggle technology, which will have a higher clamping force efficiency against traditional edge clamping force and can save 2~5% material. But, the most attractive feature of this machine to an IML Paint Buckets projector is its opening stroke: 850mm.

20L Paint Buckets Top Entry IML Solutions

For any IML projectors of 20L IML paint buckets the opening stroke is very important to compose an IML system economically. With an opening stroke of 850mm it means that this BL530EKH is suitable for the IML production of most paint buckets with a height < 350mm. It'll have most of the 20L paint buckets included. Compared to its counter part of which mostly would be injection molding machine > 600T, it would be a big budget saving.

Anyway before any decision made about the which injection molding machine to choose for your IML project, the right process would be to provide the sample or 3D drawing of the paint bucket of which you want to produce so SWITEK engineer will evaluate it and make a professional advisory accordingly. If you still have any question about IML paint buckets production please feel free to contact Adams from SWITEK for a budget smart solutions of IML.
