Haitian on show their 5^th generation of JUPITER Series two-platen injection molding machine JU5500/3450 with turn-key solutions of buckets production at PlastImagen 2025, the largest exhibition of injection molding machinery in Mexico city.

SPECIFICATION of JU5500/3450

Features of Haitian JUPITER Series Injection Molding Machine JU5 Series two-platen injection molding machine is equipped with flexible open integration functions, and the entire series is equipped with "Go Factory 2.0" digital intelligent management software, whcih can best meet customers' one-stop demands for automated and digitally intelligent production.
In addition, it can be compatible with the latest international general interfaces according to needs. Customers can freely choose automation integration enquipment and MES partners to realize interactive connections between multi-device and multi-platform systems with injection molding machines as the core, and enjoy open integration.
As a two-platen injection molding machine, it's best suitable for the production of:

• Plastic parts for the automobile manufacturing industry
• Plastic parducts in large housold appliances industry
• Plastic products with heavy mass and large projected area require large clamping force and large internal distance between the rods
• The production of ultralarge plastic parts

Stack mold is a popular solution of house hold products because it can maximize the productivity of the injection molding machine. But among the producers of the cutlery the stack mold is not popular, why and what's the advantages and disadvantages of the stack molds solutions for cutlery production?

SWITEK 24+24 Stack Mold Cutlery Packing Solutions

The advantage of the stack mold solutions is the productivity of the system. As show on the stack mold solutions above that it's possible to produce 48 pcs of spoons or forks and have them well box packed in about 10s by a 280T injection molding machine (Which is a special injection molding machine designed by WEIDA machinery for the stack mold production, the nozzle of the injection molding machine is installed to the top of the injection molding machine) while would be possible to have a maximum of 32 cavities mold design by with a standard mold design.

Against the advantage of the stack mold solution, the disadvantages of the system is also obvious:

• The Cost of the System: Not only the cost of the mold, a stack mold solution will also increase the cost of the automation system and a much larger floor space for the installation of the cutlery packing system.
• The Difficulty of the Maintenance: The maintenance of the stack mold cutlery production system would be much more complex, the producer must have the capacity to do the maintenance of both the stack mold and the auto-packing system for the stack mold. It woudl be a big challenge to most of the small and medium sized producer of the cutlery producers.
• New Mold Technology Provide More Economic Alternative Solutions: Instead of a stack mold solution, a vertical 24+24 cavities single mold solution will provide a counter productivity of the cutlery but much lower cost of investment in both the mold and automation system.

Anyway, cutlery packing system is systematic integration of the injection molding machine, the mold design and automation system design, the best way would be to contact Adams from SWITEK for a turn-key solution of the cutlery to get a ready to work cutlery packing system.
