This machine is designed for producing small to medium plastic parts such as floss picks and toothbrushes, and can also make other dental-care and similar plastic items that fit within its mold and clamping capacity.
It processes a wide range of thermoplastics including PP, PC, ABS, PET, PVC, FRPP/PVC, EVA, HDPE, EPS, PA, Polystyrene, PE, LDPE, HDPE/PP and PE/PP.
'15 Tons' refers to the machine's clamping force (the maximum mold-clamping capacity). This capacity is suitable for small- to medium-sized molds commonly used for floss picks and toothbrush components.
‘1 Axis’ indicates the machine has a single primary motion/control axis for the injection/clamping cycle—suitable for straightforward, single-action molding operations common in dental-product manufacturing.
The hybrid design combines hydraulic power for strong clamping and injection force with electric components (servo systems and PLC) for improved control and energy efficiency, balancing performance and energy savings.
The machine has two injectors. This can increase productivity (parallel or staggered production), allow multi-shot or multi-material setups in some applications, or provide redundancy to improve throughput.
Plasticizing capacity is 30 g/s, injection weight is 30 g per shot, and the maximum injection rate is 80 g/s. For example, theoretical fill time = injection weight / injection rate = 30 g ÷ 80 g/s ≈ 0.375 s; actual cycle time will also include cooling, mold open/close, and handling times.
Core components include motor, PLC (programmable logic controller), pressure vessel and screw. The machine also features video outgoing inspection and a supplied machinery test report for quality verification.
Vertical machines save floor space, simplify insert loading/unloading and overmolding of pre-placed inserts, and are well suited for small parts and high-precision insert molding often used in dental products.
Yes. One of the key selling points is energy saving—achieved through its hybrid design and electric control systems that reduce unnecessary energy consumption compared with older all-hydraulic designs.
The unit is sold as a single item. The seller provides a machinery test report and video outgoing inspection documentation. Shipping package size is listed as 120 x 150 x 200 cm and the single gross weight is 1000 kg. Confirm final packing and logistics details with the supplier.
Specific power, air, and foundation requirements are not listed here—please request the machine's site-preparation sheet from the supplier. Generally you will need a level, sturdy floor, correct electrical supply and grounding, adequate ventilation, and compressed air if peripheral equipment requires it.
Regular maintenance includes keeping the screw and barrel clean, scheduled lubrication of moving parts, periodic inspection of seals and hydraulic components, and PLC/motor checks. Follow the supplier's maintenance schedule and keep key spare parts on hand for minimized downtime.
Compatibility depends on mold size, projected area, runner/hot-runner layout and required clamping force. Because this machine has a 15-ton clamp and is designed for small-to-medium parts, most dental molds are compatible—however, provide your mold drawings to the supplier to confirm fit and cooling/hydraulic/pneumatic connections.
Cycle time depends heavily on part design, wall thickness, cooling requirements, and mold configuration. Using the machine specs (30 g shot, 80 g/s injection rate) you can estimate fill time (~0.375 s), but total cycle time will be longer due to cooling and handling. Send part drawings, material, and desired cavity count to the supplier and we can help estimate realistic cycle time and hourly output.
