About the UNION PLASTIC ES160
The UNION PLASTIC ES160 is an all electric injection molding machine produced by Honzen Union Plastic (ZheJiang) Machinery co., Ltd. with clamping force of 1600kN. The UNION PLASTIC ES160 all electric inection molding machine has an optional injection speed of 200~350mm/s for standard application or 450~800mm/s for high speed injection applications. For the producer of thin-wall IML containers a high speed configuration with an injection speed of 450~800mm/s would be preferable. With an operning stroke of 430mm, the UNION PLASTIC ES160 is suitable for the high speed production of IML lids or thin-wall IML containers with maximum height up to 93mm.

IML Solutions with Similar Injection Molding Machine
The video is a turn-key solution of 4 cavities lids of icecream tubes of oval shape on show Chinaplas 2023 in Shenzhen with a 150T HMD high speed all electric injection molding machine EM150 at the total cycle time of 2.3s and an in mold time of 0.8s with the labeling done by SWITEK SW8 series hgih speed side entry IML robot, it's the fastest IML solution on show Chinaplas 2023.
The advantage of an samll injection molding machine like Union Plastic ES160 is that it can maximize the speed of mold opening and close to make it the best injection molding machine for the high speed production of small size thin-wall IML containers. And as an all electric injection molding machine, it's free from the risky of potential oil leakage of which is happening among the hydrauglic injection molding machine.
The high light of the IML solution is the SW8 series of high speed IML robot produced by GuangDong SWITEK Technology Co., Ltd. with ultra fast system design. With a minimum in mold time of only 0.8s, the IML robot will help to make the IML system a rewarding investment.
