Vertical injection moulding machines

Vertical injection moulding machines are a type of plastic injection moulding machine used to produce moulded plastic parts. Unlike horizontal injection moulding machines, which have a horizontal clamp and injection unit, vertical injection moulding machines have a vertical clamp and injection unit.

The vertical orientation of the injection unit allows for easy insertion and removal of the mould, making it particularly useful for over-molding and insert molding applications. These machines are also suitable for producing parts with complex geometries, as the mould can be easily rotated to obtain the desired shape.

Vertical injection moulding machines are often used in the automotive, medical and electronics industries to produce small- to medium-sized parts, such as connectors, switches and sensors. They are known for their high accuracy and repeatability, which is essential for producing parts with consistent quality.

One of the main advantages of vertical injection moulding machines is their compact size, making them suitable for use in smaller production areas. They are also energy-efficient and can be equipped with various automation features, such as robotic arms and conveyor systems, to increase production efficiency and reduce labour costs.

Overall, vertical injection moulding machines offer a range of advantages for producing moulded plastic parts, including their versatility, accuracy and efficiency.
