Presentation of Injection moulding machines (electric)

Electric moulding machines belong to the category of plastic machines.

How do these machines work?

Overall, an electric moulding machine has the same final aim as a classic injection moulding machine. The raw material is first softened under high pressure, and then injected into the mould. Finally, the raw material is cooled into its final form.

Full electric injection moulders represent a new generation of plastic machines. “Classic” injection moulding machines are basically hydraulic. Over the past few years, these new machines have become fully electric. Their main functions are fundamentally the same, but in the electric machines, the lock cylinder, injection, ejection and the plasticisation motor have been replaced by servomotors and screw cylinders. Generally, electric plastic machines provide a cost-effective solution for plastics professionals.

Advantages of an electric press machine

Compared to an hydraulic moulder, the main advantage is cost. With an electric press machine, the final plastic product is produced with less materials and fewer additives, which strongly reduces waste. Additionally, an electric machine requires less set-up time compared to a hydraulic machine, resulting in longer production cycles. Finally, this machine doesn't need as much energy as the hydraulic machine. However, an electric machine is definitely more expensive than a hydraulic machine.

With Exapro, you can filter searches for your used machining centre based on:

• Clamping force in T
• Screw diameter in mm
• Tie bar spacing (H) in mm
• Tie bar spacing (V) in mm
• Shot volume in cm³
• Shot weight in g

You can also narrow down the results based on the location of the machine, year of the equipment and the machine’s manufacturer.

Area of use of these machines

Like the hydraulic press moulders, there is not a specific area of use for the injection machine. Generally, it’s used in plastic product manufacturing. In general, electric moulder machines are not yet very widespread; hydraulic machines still dominate the market.
