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.

PVC pipe fittings are one of the most commonly used connector in the drainage project and a cold runner designed mold is the most economic solutions for the production of the PVC pipe fittings, but the removal of the runner in result is a labour intensive work. Is there any economic way to remove the runners from the PVC pipe fittings automatically?

PVC Pipe Fittings Runner Cutting Solutions

For the producer of PVC pipe fittings the most economic soluton to remove the runner is with an Air Nipper fixed to the picking robot immediately after the PVC pipe fittings picked out from the mould. The robot will drop the seperated pipe fittings and runner to different containers. Below configuration of SWITEK runner cutting solution for 16 cavities PVC pipe fittings for your reference:

• Injection Molding Machine: HaiTian MA4500
• Picking Robot: SWITEK SW6712S 3 Axis Servo Injection Robot
• Mold Design: 16 Cavities
• Air Nipper: 4pcs
• Cycle Time: 60s

The Air Nipper runner cutting system is an easy to start solution for the producers of PVC pipe fittings, which the Air Nipper would be controlled by the picking robot and is the best solution for the small size PVC pipe fittings (with a diameter around φ25mm). Anyway it also must be custom made according to the mold design.
