US-based Wilmington Machinery has a new low-pressure pallet injection moulding machine called the Lumina Pallateer Model PM-1C, which is said to be the lowest cost US made machine of its’ type, to compete with Asian built injection machines of comparable capacity. Plus, like its predecessors, the new machine accepts 100% recycled plastics even in flake form, to produce the lowest cost plastic pallets.
The PM-1C machine comes standard with a 350 tonne press capable of moulding pallets up to 48” x 52” size weighting up to 18 kg. It has a HDPE melting capacity of 540 kg/hour sufficient to produce 30 pallets/hour. Hot runner moulds, robots and other accessories are available from Wilmington including training and ongoing service.
It also boasts a small footprint, low energy consumption, and has a two-stage injection unit (extruder/accumulator) furnished with bimetallic barrels and long-life feed screws. Controlled by a Beckhoff PLC and actuated by Rexroth hydraulic components it is a hybrid machine. A classic structural foam multi-nozzle injection manifold is an available option.
