Mold-Masters is introducing its largest capacity E-Multi auxiliary injection unit for multishot molding, the EM5. The E-Multi is an all-electric auxiliary injection unit that offers multimaterial and coinjection molding capabilities for single-shot machines. This new unit expands the shot range of the E-Multi from 550-1,237 g (18-42 oz).
Mold-Masters says this larger capacity system targets the production of large individual components and high-cavitation molds. Due to its size and weight, the EM5 is intended to be installed in a horizontal configuration as standard, however an optional vertical installation package is available.
The E-Multi platform converts any existing injection molding machine for multishot, multimaterial or coinjection molding, with significantly lower capital investment requirements and faster lead times than a traditional multishot injection machine. E-Multi units are available from EM1 through the EM5, giving molders a broad shot range from 7.7-1,237 g (0.26-42 oz). The system is compatible with a range of plastics including post-consumer recycled resins and bio-based plastics. An E-Multi for LSR is also available.
