Compact vertical machine offered as hybrid

Nissei Plastic Industrial now offers a compact vertical injection molding machine, the ST20-2V, as a hybrid-type injection molding machine that combines the advantages of electric and hydraulic machines. The ST20-2V is based on the ST Series of hydraulic vertical molding machines, and incorporates Nissei’s X Pump system. The hybrid machine debuted this time has a clamping force of 20 tonnes. According to the manufacturer, it achieves an approximately 40% energy savings compared with Nissei’s hydraulic vertical molding machines, while injection response time has been improved by about 100%. Injection speed can be controlled in a stable manner in the ultralow-speed range, and, compared to Nissei’s hydraulic vertical molding machines, the injection speed is 1.3 times as fast. The machine comes prepared with three types of mold movement: single-stage, slide, and turntable, and these can be selected depending on the application. Nissei Plastics Industrial Co.
