This model continues the legacy of the traditional cable tie machines with its powerful clamping force while introducing electric injection and electric melting to the injection unit.
This upgrade allows the injection speed to reach 300mm/s, pushing cable tie production into a new phase of efficiency and precision.
After several years of research and development, followed by two years of market testing, this model has proven its reliability and effectiveness, becoming the primary choice for top cable tie manufacturers in China, whose purchase volume has exceeded 80 units, with a maximum tonnage of 1300 tons.
Energy Efficiency
The integration of servo motors for plasticizing and injection drastically reduces energy consumption, offering significant cost savings over time while maintaining high production efficiency.
Reduced Maintenance and Longer Machine Life
With reduced load on the hydraulic system and optimized energy usage, this hybrid injection molding machine experiences lower wear and tear, resulting in longer operational life and lower maintenance costs.
Key Features
Precision and Consistency
Servo motors ensure highly accurate and consistent control over the injection and plasticizing processes, resulting in better product quality and reduced scrap rates.
Flexible Integration
The stable production process provides a solid foundation for the realization of fully automated cable tie production.
Hydraulic Clamping System
The hydraulic clamping system provides powerful clamping force, ensuring that molds remain securely in place during high-pressure injection processes, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Improved Productivity
The hybrid system enhances overall productivity by maintaining high-speed cycles while ensuring stable and reliable performance even during extended production runs.
Why Choose This Hybrid Injection Molding Machine?
– Energy Savings, Over 30%: Significantly reduced energy consumption, offering energy savings of over 30%.
– Increased Production Speed by 10-15%.
– Reduced Molding Temperature by 10-15°C for PA66.
– Solving Shrinkage Issues at the Cable Tie Head: The high injection speed resolves the shrinkage problem at the cable tie head.
– Stable Production Achieved Within 5 Minutes: From startup to cavity filling and stable molding, the process is completed within 5 minutes. This eliminates the impact of hydraulic oil temperature and, with high injection speed, overcomes the uneven mold temperature during the initial stage.
– Foundation for Full Automation: Stable production lays a solid foundation for the future integration of a fully automated production line.
Ideal for Experienced Cable Tie Manufacturers Seeking to Upgrade Quality and Efficiency
This hybrid machine is designed to work with hot runner molds, delivering optimal performance for experienced cable tie manufacturers looking to enhance product quality.
