Things To Consider When Purchasing A Used Injection Molding Machine

Buying the right used injection molding machine should not be hard if  you know what to look for. Since you are buying a machine that has been used by someone else before, you need to be careful not to purchase something that is being disposed because of issues that cannot be repaired. The right machine will keep costs low and give you a competitive advantage. As a result, you will be able to sell more parts, make huge profits and establish a reputation as a quality manufacturer of plastic products.

When you start searching for the right used injection molding machine to use in your company, there are various things you will need to consider. One of them is the machine type.  The three types of injection molders that you can choose from include fully hydraulic, fully electric and hybrid. The types of hydraulic machines that are available are defined by the type of hydraulic pump design, clamp design as well as the presence or absence of an accumulator. A hydraulic injection molder will be an ideal choice if low power consumption is a priority for you. It uses a servo pump which is very efficient. The servo pump only operates when the machine requires movement and uses minimal power the rest of the time.

A fully electric used injection molding machine will be suitable if you prefer clean room operations. This is because is because it does  not have hydraulic oil that can leak onto the floor. Every movement of this machine is done with direct drive servo motors that only draw power when movement is required.

You can also purchase a hybrid used injection molding machine, which uses a combination of hydraulic drive and electric direct drive. This machine generates fast injection speeds that make it suitable for molding thin wall parts. It is very energy efficient.
