Plastic Injection Machine (Laboratory Type)

Laboratory-type thermoplastic injection moulding machine that melts materials under high pressure and injects them into precision moulds. Used in R&D, prototype production, and quality control for automotive, packaging, medical device, and consumer goods sectors.

Test specimens and prototypes from small amounts of granules

To test a new raw-material batch or a recycled compound, you first need standard specimens moulded from it — without stopping a production machine. The laboratory-type injection machine melts small quantities of thermoplastic and injects them into precision moulds, producing tensile bars, impact bars and small parts for testing, R&D and prototype work. Hydraulic or electric drive, automatic or semi-automatic operation and a compact laboratory footprint make it suitable for QC departments, R&D centres and training institutions.

• Hydraulic or electric drive options
• Automatic and semi-automatic operation modes
• High repeatability for R&D and QC
• Compatible with a wide range of thermoplastics
• Compact laboratory footprint
• On-site installation & training

Standards

• EN ISO 20430:2020 — Plastics and rubber machines — injection moulding
• ISO 10724-1 — Injection moulding of test specimens
• BS EN 201 — Rubber and plastics machines — injection moulding machines

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a QC lab need a laboratory injection machine?

It produces standard test specimens from incoming or recycled material in-house, so mechanical and thermal tests can be run on the actual batch before it reaches production.

Which materials can it process?

A wide range of thermoplastics such as PE, PP, PVC, ABS, PET and PC.

Hydraulic or electric?

Both versions are available; automatic and semi-automatic operating modes are standard.

Which standards relate to specimen moulding?

Injection moulding of test specimens is described in ISO 294; the specimens are then tested to standards such as ISO 527 and ISO 179.
