Molding Machine? Have picture

Molding Machine? Have picture

Molding Machine? Have picture

(OP)
Is this molding machine? If yes, what brand is it? I like it is small in size. I am interested to get one for fun. thanks

RE: Molding Machine? Have picture

It appears it might be, but the picture is from an angle where many parts are hidden.

Also a paper covers the brand name.

Colour and size indicates OLD Engle or Arburg. Apparent  build quality indicates maybe Chinese.

More better quality photo's are required to really know.

RE: Molding Machine? Have picture


I would be hesitant to say it's a moulding machine - the bed looks too flimsy. It may some packing equipment looking at the surroundings.

The general appearance (no guards for one), no material hopper, etc would suggest (imho) it's scrap.

Moulding machines are not fun - they can be very dangerous, even when guarded!

Cheers

Thank you for the information. This is the only picture I found. I want to know is there any manufacture making molding machine at that small size? if yes, could you tell me the URL, I want to learn more thanks.

RE: Molding Machine? Have picture

Have you googled injection moulding machines. It will work wonders, teach you something and save us answering simplistic questions

Thank you for your reply. The reason I ask here is I have no experience on this field. So, I want somebody who have experience can tell me which brand is good, great deal and reliable. Maybe I didn't express enough in my previous question.  

RE: Molding Machine? Have picture

You should not shop for a molding machine until you have an actual use for one.

If you know exactly what you will be molding, and what quantities you will be making, then choosing a molding machine properly sized for your need will be easier and more cost advantageous.

(worded another way, know what you are to mold, study how many molding cavities of the molded article are to be molded simultaneously to satisfy your customers demand, and then choose a molding machine properly sized to use the mold that satisfies that demand.)

For info on 'properly sizing', I suggest that after knowing what you are to mold, and how many you will be molding, that you then talk to molding machine salesmen to find a proper sized machine for your need.
