The machine is designed primarily to produce dental floss picks and other small plastic items. It is suitable for high-volume manufacturing in the beauty and personal care industries and for colorful multi-component plastic products.
It can process a wide range of thermoplastics including PP, PC, ABS, PET, PVC and PPR. Compatibility may vary with specific grades — consult the supplier for special materials or additives.
The machine supports up to four-color molding so you can produce multi-colored parts in a single cycle. Color implementation depends on mold design and the selected multi-color injection configuration. Discuss required tooling and sequencing with the supplier.
Key specs include an injection weight of 132 g, an injection rate of 80 g/s, a tie bar distance of 350 mm, and a total machine weight of approximately 5000 kg.
This is a vertical hydraulic injection moulding machine. Hydraulic drives provide smooth clamping and injection performance suitable for high productivity applications.
The distance between tie bars is 350 mm, which helps define the maximum mold dimensions. Exact mold size and plate dimensions should be confirmed with your tooling designer and the machine supplier.
The machine is packed for export in wooden crates and comes with fumigation treatment as standard to meet international shipping requirements.
Yes, the machine is supplied with a machinery test report to verify performance and quality prior to delivery.
Routine maintenance includes regular hydraulic oil checks and changes, filter and hose inspections, lubrication of moving parts, periodic checks of electrical and control systems, and timely replacement of wear components (e.g., seals, nozzles). Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for optimal uptime.
Many suppliers offer installation, commissioning and operator training services. Confirm availability and any associated costs with your FOMTEC representative when placing an order.
Standard safety features typically include guarding around moving parts, emergency stop buttons, interlocks on safety doors, and hydraulic pressure protection. Ensure the machine complies with local safety regulations and consider additional guards or light curtains as needed.
Critical spares often include hydraulic seals, filters, heaters, nozzle tips, bearings and key electrical components like relays or sensors. The machine's core components include bearings and motors; keep a small stock of these and consumables for fast repairs.
A vertical machine saves floor space, facilitates easy insert loading/unloading (useful for overmolding or inserting metal parts), and often provides improved part ejection and flash control for small components like floss picks.
