Horizontal Injection Moulding Machine

ZOWEITE® Injection moulding machine is also known as molding machine or injection machine. It is the main molding equipment that uses plastic molding molds to make thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics into plastic products of various shapes. The injection molding machine can heat the plastic and apply high pressure to the molten plastic to make it shoot our and fill the mold cavity.

The clamping part and the injection part of the horizontal injection moulding machine are on the same horizontal centerline, and the mold is opened along the horizontal direction.

Image results of horizontal injection moulding machine in horizontal injection molding , the mold opens and closes along the horizontal axis. Due to this configuration, consistent and correct injection pressure is required to fill the mold cavity and help ensure proper packing and cooling.

What is the difference between horizontal injection moulding machine and vertical injection molding machine？

● Appearance: The vertical injection moulding machine covers a small area, but the height is relatively high. On the contrary, the horizontal injection moulding machine covers a larger area, but there is no height limit for the plant. Due to the low fuselage, convenient material supply and easier maintenance.

● Molding products: The molding products of the vertical injection molding machine are relatively small. They are suitable for small precision injection products such as connectors, wire plugs, etc. They are used in small batch production. The mold structure is simple, the cost is low, and it is easy to unload. ZOWEITE® Horizontal injection moulding machine is suitable for larger products, such as food containers, plastic bucket, fruit basket, dustbin,etc injection molding products.

Advantage of horizontal injection moulding machine

● Because the low fuselage of the horizontal injection moulding machine, there is no height limit for the plant.

● Products that can fall automatically can be formed automatically without using a manipulator. In addition, ZOWEITE plastic bucket injection molding machine is equipped with mold opening linkage ejection action to open the mold and eject the mold at the same time, so as to shorten the molding cycle. Save customers’ time and improve production efficiency.

● When multiple sets are arranged in parallel , the formed products are easy to be collected and packaged by the conveyor belt. Save manpower and realize fully automatic production.

● Several points needing attention before starting the Check whether there is lubricating grease at all moving parts of the horizontal injection moulding machine and add enough lubricating oil.

● Turn on the electric heating and heat each section of the barrel. When the temperature of each section meets the requirements, it shall be kept warm for a period of time to stabilize the temperature of the machine. The holding time varies according to the requirements of different equipment and plastic raw materials

● Add enough plastic into the hopper. According to the requirements of different plastics for injection molding, some raw materials should be dried first.

● Cover the heat shield on the barrel, which can save electric energy and prolong the service life of electric heating ring and current contactor.

● Check whether water and oil enter the electrical control box. If the electrical is damp, do not start the machine. The maintenance personnel shall blow dry the electrical parts before starting the machine.

● Check whether the power supply voltage meets the requirements, which generally shall not exceed ± 15%

● Check whether the emergency stop switch and front and rear safety switches are normal. Verify whether the rotation direction of motor and oil pump is consistent

● Check whether all cooling pipes are unblocked, and jacket the cooling water at the end of cooler and barrel
