Tederic, one of the public listed injection molding machine manufacturer who is focusing on creating real value for clients and pursuing excellence from China, on showed their NEO T500 high precision injection molding machine at PlastImagen 2025 with turn-key soluiotns of auto-parts injection production.

The NEO.T500 injection molding machine on show PlastImagen 2025 is one of the NEO-T toggle system injection molding machine produced by Tederic with a clamping force of 5000kN. The NEO-T toggle system injection molding machine adheres to the design concept of minimalist elegance; every line, detail, and piece is born for performance optimization. With a new generation of servo power system, the Tederic NEO-T toggle injection molding machine can save 30%~80% of energy compared with traditional hydraulic system to provide ultra-high response speed, short cycle time and widened the molding process.

The injection robot on show together with Tederic NEO-T500 here is an OEM brand double arms 5 axis servo robotic arms. But for most of the injection molding solution a 3 axis servo injection robot will fullfit the demand of the application. The robotic arm here to recommend is the SWITEK 3 Axis servo injection robot SW6715DS which is designed for the injection molding machine with clamping force from 4500kN ~ 8000kN with a payload up to 15kg.

As a high precision servo injection molding machine, the Tederic NEO-T500 is not only suitable for the production of auto-parts, but also the house hold products, pipe fittings etc. SWITEK automation will provide you a turn-key solution of injection automation with a Tederic NEO-T500 toggle system injection molding machine.

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.
