Any boss would like to have a BEST injection molding machine for their IML project for a highest return on investment. But, is there really a BEST injection molding machine for an IML project? And how will you define the term BEST? When we talked about the best injection molding machines, I think most of us will call to mind the big names of injection molding machines such as ENGEL, DEMAG, Arburg and many more originated in Europe. Yes these injection molding machines are representing the top technology of injection molding, but for the IML projects of thin-wall containers, they're now facing the severe competition from their Chinese competitors who are providing a much more price smart solutions and attractive to the thin-wall IML packages producers.
There're so many producers of high speed hydraulic injection molding machines for thin-wall containers production now in China and you can find hundreds of them in Chinaplas alone, how to find the best one for your project? Below are some of the reputable brands for your reference:
Other than the top 3 producers of high speed injection molding machine manufacturers in China, there're many other brands of high speed injection molding machine such as ChenHsong, Lisong, PowerJet etc. has also excellent high speed injection molding solutions for thin-wall packaging high speed IML injection molding.
For thin-wall IML packaging producers, the hydraulic injection molding machine will provide them with a price smart solution of IML package production with a remarkable throughput but competitive price. It has great cost advantage against the hybrid and all electric injection molding machine and is an ideal choice for low budget IML packaging injection molding project.
The SW833-S6 is the 6th generation of the high speed side entry IML robot manufactured by GuangDong SWITEK Technology Co., Ltd. for the fast production of small and medium sized IML containers. The standard version of the SW833-S6 high speed IML robot is suitable for the injection molding machines of 250~500T an IML project with up to 16 cavities of Yogurt cups mold design. And it's an IML robot designed for the fast changing of the magazines and EOATs, it's very important for the small and medium sized producers of IML packages who will produce different IML containers in the same system. It's also an IML robot to be easily integrated in an automation system with vision control and packaging to have the IML containers produced untouched.

For Thin Wall Container IML Production, Will YIZUME P250E or P250K3 a Better Choice for Your Project?
As for which injection molding machine is a better choice for your IML project, it'll depends on your budget and requirement about the parts. As we know both P250E and P280K3 are excellent high speed injection molding machine designed for the injection production of thin wall containers with high injection speed for the fast injection of thin wall containers. They're no dobt excellent injection molding machine for your IML project. But, how to make a decision between?
Both P250E and P250K3 has similar injection speed (300/500 mm/s optional for P250E and 320mm/s for P250K3) but P250E is an all electric injection molding machine while P250K3 is a high speed hydraulic injection molding machine. Of course an all electric injection molding machine is a better choice for food container IML production, but, the cost of it would be much higher than P250K3. So, if your budget is sufficient, P250E, if not, P250K3 would be the right one for you.
The IML robot for YIZUMI P250K3/P250E would be SWITEK IML Robot SW833. In K2019 SWITEK IML robot SW833 work with P250E in demo of 4 cavities cups at the cycle time of 2.1s, this combination is one of the best IML solution for small size containers IML production.
