Features of 1,300 Ton Model of HH (Double Helix) Series
1.

Industry-leading dry cycle time
Dry cycle times are 15% faster than conventional models. Enables high-cycle molding forincreased productivity.

2.

Industry-leading short foot print
Machine foot print is reduced over conventional models, achieving a length of just 12.0 metersand setting an industry-leading mark for toggle injection molding machines. Eases space concerns
when replacing existing machines.

3.

Enhanced plasticizing capacity
Injection unit and screw have been improved to increase the plasticizing capacity by 20% overconventional models. Eliminates bottlenecks arising from metering times for large or thickproducts.

4.

Latest DIEPREST and AIRPREST technologies (Option)
Introducing the latest and most advanced DIEPREST core back foaming process for improved
molding performance and versatility and AIRPREST air venting technology. Optional precision
die height control reduces the quality variability and enables a wider range of products to bemanufactured.

15.
