Lifting and Installation plastic injection molding machine

Still looking for how to Installation injection molding machine, we give you a graphic illustration.

Lifting and installing your new injection moulding machine is the first step in production, right?

Installation injection molding machine

There are steps for lifting and installation of the plastic injection molding machine.

  • Prepare the foundation.
  • Prepare the leveling feet.
  • Unfastening the machine.
  • Pull out the half machine from the container.
  • Injection molding machine lifting
  • Lower the machine and attach the leveling feet
  • Placement of the injection molding machine
  • Adjust the leveling feet
  • Inspection

 Plastic injection molding machine is a kind of heavy machinery, in order to ensure the safety and normal operation of the machine, the first step is to pay attention to the lifting and installation of the injection molding machine. The following are the steps and some precautions for lifting and installing the injection molding machine.

Prepare the foundation

Determine a suitable location for the injection molding machine, taking into account the space requirements and the proximity of utilities (power, water, etc.). Try to install the injection molding machine in a well-ventilated area that can support the weight and size of the machine.

Preparae the Leveling feet

Preparatation leveling feet for injection molding machine. Different model of injection molding machine need different quantity of leveling feet.

Lifting equipment (cranes, forklifts, hydraulic jacks, etc.): used to lift the injection molding machine;

Rigging equipment (slings, chains, straps, etc.): used to lift and transport the injection molding machine;

Protective materials (rubber mats or pads): to prevent damage to the machine and floor during lifting and installation.

Unfastening the machine.

 

Unfastening metal rope for preparing unload from container.

Lift the machine according to the lifting diagram. Ensure its balance when lifting and safety and stability when moving up and down.

The lifting capacity of the crane should be greater than the weight of the machine, and the lifting capacity of the lifting cable or wire rope should be greater than the weight of the machine.

If the cable may touch any part of the machine, place a scrap of cloth or block of wood between the cable and the machine parts to avoid damage to the tie rods etc.

Injection molding relocation/rigging is an essential process for daily industrial production planning.

Pull out the half machine from the container.

Note: It is very important thing is pull out the half machine from the container, not the whole one.

Injection molding machine lifting

  • Lifting smll injection molding machine(with whole body)
  • Lifting medium injection molding machine(with assembled body)
  • Lifting large injection molding machine(with sepaate parts)

Lifting small injection molding machines: one-piece( with whole body).

The total weight of small injeciton molding machine is lighter than middle and large machine, so it is lift as followed photo.

 

Lifting medium injection molding machines: with assembled body

the body of medium machine is assembled and cannot be lifted in one piece.

If the machine must be lifted, it is necessary to separate the mold clamping device from the injection device and then lift the two body parts separately.

The two body parts are connected together by locating pins and locating bolts.

To lift the machine, the crane must have a lifting capacity larger than the machine weight, and the hoisting cable or wire rope and hooks should be undamaged and must have enough bearing capacity.

Lifting large injection molding machines: with separate parts

the body of large machine is assembled and cannot be lifted in one piece. If the machine must be lifted, it is necessary to separate the mold clamping device from the injection device and then lift the separate parts.

To lift the machine, the crane must have a lifting capacity larger than the machine weight.

And the hoisting cable or wire rope and hooks should be undamaged and must have enough bearing capacity.

Injection molding cranes will be better for this job

Lower the machine and attach the leveling feet

Plastic injeciton molding machine will need to maintain balance, and install level feet  as enclosed photo for reference.

Placement of the injection molding machine

If the injection molding machine is installed on a reinforced concrete floor, it is generally not necessary to prepare a foundation.

If the injection molding machine is installed on a common shop floor, a foundation should be prepared accordingly.

The maximum surface pressure of an injection molding machine on a concrete floor can be calculated based on the weight of the machine and the number and area of adjustable spacers (which reduce the contact area of the floor and thus increase the pressure of the machine on the floor). Medium and large machines should be secured to the foundation using floor bolts.

Cranes for injection molding have many structures of different sizes.

Adjust the leveling feet

Rotate to adjust level feet which is for keeping plastic injection molding balance.

Inspection

Precision level: Adjust the parallelism of the injection rails to ensure that the machine is correctly leveled both horizontally and vertically.

Parallel Ruler: Check and adjust the parallelism of the tie rods of the movable moldboard to meet the requirements of its usage performance.
