It is designed to produce silicone products such as menstrual cups and baby bottle nipples as well as other silicone items and a range of thermoplastics for consumer and medical applications.
The machine is suitable for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and silicone grades and can also process plastics listed in the spec (PP, PC, ABS, PET, PVC, PPR, EVA, HDPE, PE). For medical devices use medical-grade LSR and follow regulatory requirements.
Hydraulic horizontal machine; injection weight 202 g; injection rate 8.93 g/s; machine weight approx. 3200 kg; single package dimensions 150 x 150 x 150 cm (verify packed weight with supplier). Core components include bearings, gears, PLC, pressure vessel and gearbox.
Theoretical injection time = injection weight / injection rate ≈ 202 g / 8.93 g/s ≈ 23 seconds. Total cycle time depends on mold, cooling and handling (typically 30–90 seconds). Output per hour = 3600 / cycle time; multi-cavity molds multiply part output accordingly.
LSR best practice often uses dedicated dosing and injection pot systems, cold-runner or hot-runner mold solutions, and accurate temperature control. The Powerjet platform supports LSR processing — confirm with the supplier the exact dosing/injection configuration for your application.
Molds should be designed for soft elastomers with appropriate venting, precise cavity geometry, and temperature control (mold heaters/chillers). Use corrosion-resistant mold materials and polished cavities suitable for medical-grade silicone. Discuss cavity count and ejection systems with your mold maker and the machine supplier.
Hydraulic machines commonly require a stable three-phase power supply, compressed air, and hydraulic oil management. Prepare a reinforced concrete floor with adequate load capacity, lifting equipment for installation, and proper drainage and ventilation. Confirm exact electrical/phasing and power rating with the supplier before delivery.
Typical features include emergency stop(s), safety interlocked guards around the mold area, hydraulic pressure safety valves, and PLC-controlled protections. Always implement machine guarding, operator training and lockout/tagout for maintenance.
Use recommended, silicone-compatible cleaning agents and non-abrasive methods. Clean molds, runners and the injection unit thoroughly between material changes. Follow validated cleaning protocols and document procedures to maintain hygienic and traceable manufacturing for baby/medical products.
Regular maintenance includes checking and topping hydraulic oil, changing hydraulic oil and filters per schedule, inspecting seals and hoses, lubricating moving parts, checking PLC and sensors, and cleaning the injection unit. Frequency depends on production load; follow the supplier's maintenance manual and keep logs of service activities.
The machine can manufacture products intended for medical use, but certification of the final product depends on the silicone material, mold design, cleanroom practices and post-processing. Use certified medical-grade LSR (e.g., FDA, ISO 10993 where required) and validate your production process for regulatory compliance.
Spare parts for core components (PLC modules, pumps, seals, bearings, gearbox parts) are typically available through the supplier. Many suppliers offer installation, commissioning, operator training and ongoing technical support—confirm warranty, spare parts lead times and service contracts before purchase.
Yes — the base machine can often be configured or upgraded (different injection units, platen sizes, molds, automation and multi-cavity tooling) to meet specific part sizes and higher output requirements. Discuss customization options with the manufacturer or distributor.
Certification varies by seller and market. Many industrial machines carry CE, ISO or other regional safety certifications; verify which certificates are provided with the specific unit and request documentation from the supplier.
Contact the supplier/distributor to confirm model details, site requirements and delivery terms. Arrange for on-site installation and commissioning; request operator and maintenance training packages. Ask for pre-installation checklists and documentation to prepare your facility.
