Plasdan designs and builds a family of
injection units, both hydraulic and electric. All units use the same proven
control technology used by other large injection molding machine builders.
Standard and optional control
features for all injection units are as follows:
Easy connection to existing injection molding machine
Standard Industry Machine Components (available worldwide)
Transfer from velocity mode to pressure mode on Time, Screw Position, or External Sensor (pressure transducer or otherwise)
Cushion monitoring (signal available for quality control)
Sequential valve gate control
Hot runner control
Integration of multiple injection units and / or rotary tables in one controller
Hydraulic
Injection Units
Example of a Hydraulic - Self-Contained Injection Unit
Our hydraulic units offer the best value. These well
proven designs use industry standard components which are available worldwide.
Our controller offers sophisticated control over the complete injection process.
Custom control and software solutions are also available.
Key Benefits
Standard Industry Components
Cost-Effective - turn your single shot machine into
a multi-material workhorse
High Precision and excellent repeatability
Flexibility
Durable - Low Maintenance
Serviced, Stocked and Customized in North America
Easy Installation
Shot-Pot
Injection Units
As an option to our hydraulic units, we offer
a "shot-pot" which allows up to 5 times more injection volume capacity
as the corresponding reciprocating screw model. Here the standard unit acts as
an extruder to fill the injection cylinder. Injection occurs via hydraulically
powered piston (plunger). This provides large injection capacity in a very
compact space. The unit can always be converted back to a standard reciprocating
screw model.
Key Benefits
Increased injection volume - up to 5X more than corresponding standard unit
Compact package for given shot capacity
Precise injection - no check ring
Flexibility - convertible between "shot-pot" and conventional injection
Electric
Injection Units
Example of an Electrical Injection Unit - able to mount both vertical
and horizontal applications
Key Benefits - In Addition to our Hydraulic Injection Units
Example of a double hydraulic injection unit, mounted horizontally
from the side ("L" configuration), turning a standard single
barrel injection molding machine into a three-shot system. Also
shown is a three
station servo rotary table, and a three material injection mold. All device
controls are integrated into the displayed controller (injection units, rotary
table, mold safeties, valve gates, and hot runners).
