RUBBER INJECTION MOLDING WITH AN ERGONOMIC ADVANTAGE

Maplan has designed a new “Ergo” press to meet user needs for a top-injection rubber press who had expressed interest in a machine concept with lower working height without pits or platforms. Maplan engineered their “Ergo” series of rubber molding presses that also solved past attempts to reduce other problems that arose, including: an excessive number of moving parts, inadequate mold support, extremely long nozzle tips, nozzle leakage, and other shortcomings.

Three are currently available in the Maplan “Ergo” press series: the MTF 1500/250, MTF 2500/400 and the MTF 2500/630.

Redesigning the clamp unit of the “Ergo” presses to lower the working height, Maplan engineers were also able to reduce the number of moving parts and maintain the maximum platen support. The combination of a lower working height and the reduction in the number of moving parts serve to increase the speed and reliability of the clamping unit.

The press is equipped with the Maplan FIFO, “First-In, First-Out” screw/ream injector that delivers uniformly plasticized and metered-size shot. A constant L/D ratio guarantees the homogenous preparation of the compound. A bonus benefit of the Maplan FIFO injector is the short distance from the pot chamber to the nozzle that reduces the pressure lost during the injection sequence.
