Wilmington Machinery Meets Customer Molding Needs In 2019 With Engineering Breakthroughs and Increased Molding Capacities. Learn more at the K Show 2019 Booth 13B91-19

Recently, Wilmington Machinery built and installed two vertical structural foam presses for a customer looking for a machine that was better option than a horizontal press. The customer wanted the advantages vertical presses provide: ease of mold setup, reduced mold costs, and reduced floor space.

The two new large vertical type low-pressure structural foam presses have a 125 lb. shot capacity each. They accept from 1-6 molds mounted and produce 1-20 components on each cycle. Each of these vertical press molds is filled independently and precisely by the Wilmington’s proprietary Versafil injection system that sequences the mold fill and provides individual shot control to each mold. The machines also have energy saving servo hydraulics and Allen Bradley PLC controls.

Recently, to meet customer demands, Wilmington re-engineered the MP800 injection unit to incorporate a first-in, first-out, reciprocating screw of 30:1 L/O and an in-line accumulator arrangement. The design maintains the ability to compound both virgin and recycled resins with various fibrous and non-fibrous additives for strength and reducing the cost of the molded component.

Direct gas injection into the extruder barrel provides for large part thin-wall structural foam molding. The machine is also capable of non-foamed molding of medium sized parts. The MP800 model retains its capability of both cold runner and hot runner molds using either short shot (foam) or pack/hold molding techniques. The MP800 model has a shot capacity of 50 lbs and is capable of molding components up to 72” long x 48” wide.

Plus, a second complete Wilmington Machinery plastic pallet molding system for molding 1300 x 1100 mm petro pallets (plastic resins) was delivered to a European customer.

Lastly, the new re-design of the Series III B Rotary Blow Molder includes reduced cost and delivery times and much more standard commercial componentry than its predecessor. Other advantages include a smoother running machine that is faster to set up, increased bottle production, more versatility, and a longer life.

Wilmington Machinery was founded to build structural foam injection molding and foam extrusion machinery. The company has undertaken considerable development of foamed extrusion blow molded packaging and foamed industrial blow molding and currently offers both machinery types. Additionally, it has produced custom plastics molding machinery for injection extrusion and thermoforming processes.

From a modern 65,000 square foot facility in Wilmington, North Carolina, the company is well prepared to meet its customers’ needs for large plastics machinery products. International shipments are commonplace and can be arranged via the nearby deep-water Port of Wilmington. http://www.wilmingtonmachinery.com/
