Rotational MoldingRotational Molding involves a heated hollow mold which is filled with a charge or shot weight of material. It is then slowly rotated, causing the softened material to disperse and stick to the walls of the mold. Machinery Center carries new and used Rotational Molders.

Injection Molding MachinesThe BasicsInjection molding machines use a processing method in mass production of plastic parts with complex shapes. The advantages of the injection molding machines are fast production speed, high efficiency, automatic operation, variety of colors, shapes from simple to complex, the size ...

MachineryAn industrial robot is a robot system used for manufacturing. Industrial robots are automated, programmable and capable of movement on three or more axes. Typical applications of robots include welding, painting, assembly, disassembly, pick and place for printed circuit boards, packaging and labeling, palle...

Industrial chillers cool process fluids. Process fluids (typically water or a water/glycol mix) are used to cool machinery, equipment, food, etc. The process fluid absorbs heat from what is being cooled and then goes through the chiller where the heat is removed from the fluid and transferred to the ambient air Even...

Also referred to as vacuum formers, these machines heat plastic sheets till they’re malleable, then use the vacuum shape the plastic to a mold. As soon as the plastic is formed and cooled, a burst of air separates it from the mold. Thermoformers perform finest with easy to form plastics, similar to ABS, polystyrene,...

Blow Molding Machines GuideBlow molding machines are used within the plastics manufacturing industry to make bottles of all types. Like other molding processes, blow molding machines generate their finished product through use of heated plastic and a mold cavity in which the liquid is shaped and cooled into its fina...

Extrusion Molding Machines GuideThis extrusion molding machines guide will help explain the extrusion molding process so as to give you an good understanding for how it works. Extrusion molding machines for plastic are used to create plastic objects with a fixed cross-sectional profile. A single screw extrusion mold...

ShreddersIndustrial shredders come in many different design variations and many sizes. The industrial shredder is mainly composed of shredding blade group, loading box, box bracket, feeding system, power system and electrical control system. Because the hardness of different materials is different, the blades are al...

Grinder MachineryGrinders are machining tools that use an abrasive wheel to create fine finishes or small cuts. Depending on the type of grinder, the abrasive wheel or the product is moved from side to side to achieve the desired finish. Types of grinders include surface grinders, belt grinders, bench grinders, cyli...

Press BrakeA press brake is a machine pressing tool for bending sheet and plate material, most commonly sheet metal. It forms predetermined bends by clamping the workpiece between a matching punch and die.

Lathe MachineA lathe is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, and turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about that axis

Vacuum FormingVacuum forming is a generic term nowadays and usually includes thermoforming , pressure forming and twin sheet forming to form a coverall type of generic molding. In pressure forming, the sheet is heated and positioned the same as in vacuum forming, but a second piece of tooling (or box as some call it...

RoutersA computer numerical control router is a computer-controlled cutting machine related to the hand-held router used for cutting various hard materials, such as wood, composites, aluminum, steel, plastics, glass, and foams. CNC routers can perform the tasks of many carpentry shop machines such as the panel saw, ...

GranulatorsA plastics granulator shears and smashes scrap plastic to make granules for molding. Heavy knives are bolted to a rotor turn at high speed, close to a fixed anvil. Plastic offcuts from pressed products are loaded into a small granulator beside the press. Larger quantities are brought to a large granulator.

Plastics and Metal MachineryPlastics and Metal Machinery are used in any process that cuts, shapes or otherwise forms a plastic or metal material into an end product. These end products can be anything from car parts, toys, food storage containers, rigid pipes, electronic products, building siding, plastic film, con...
