The HD1400L is a horizontal hydraulic-mechanical injection molding machine designed for medium-to-large plastic part production such as chairs, cups, bottles and phone covers. It features advanced PLC control, heavy-duty core components (bearing, motor, pump, gearbox, screw) and an energy-saving design for efficient, continuous operation.
The HD1400L is compatible with many thermoplastics including PP, PC, ABS, PET, PVC, FRPP, PPR, EVA, HDPE, MLLDPE, EPS, PA (nylon), polystyrene, PE, LDPE, EVOH, PLA and multiple blends (e.g., HDPE/PP, ABS/PP, PE/PP).
Key specs include: 13 injectors, plasticizing capacity 158.2 g/s, maximum injection weight 7002 g, injection rate 1141 g/s, horizontal style, and PLC-based control. These values indicate strong melt-throughput and high single-shot injection capability for large parts.
'13 injectors' indicates the machine has 13 injection units or injection points available (depending on configuration), allowing multi-cavity or multi-point molding setups. This supports higher output or simultaneous molding of multiple identical parts; final layout depends on mold design.
A rough baseline: injection time ≈ injection weight / injection rate = 7002 g / 1141 g/s ≈ 6.1 s. Plasticizing (shot) time ≈ injection weight / plasticizing capacity = 7002 g / 158.2 g/s ≈ 44.3 s. Real cycle time will be longer once cooling, mold open/close, ejection and any secondary operations are included; expect overall cycles typically ranging from under a minute to several minutes depending on part geometry and cooling requirements.
Clamping force and platen dimensions are not specified in the provided listing. Mold compatibility depends on those parameters and the number of cavities. Please request the machine's detailed technical sheet or contact the supplier with your mold drawing/part weight to confirm fit and required clamping force.
Typical applications include manufacturing plastic chairs, cups and containers, bottles, phone covers and various custom plastic parts for automotive, consumer goods and packaging industries.
Yes—the HD1400L advertises an energy-saving design. Specifics (e.g., servo-driven pumps vs. conventional hydraulics) should be confirmed with the supplier, as actual energy savings depend on configuration and production profile.
The machine uses an advanced PLC for process control and typically includes standard safety provisions such as emergency stop, safety interlocks and guarded moving parts. Confirm exact safety features and any additional options (light curtains, two-hand controls, safety doors) with the seller before purchase.
Hygroscopic plastics like PC, PET and PA require drying before processing to avoid defects (e.g., porosity, splay). Drying time and temperature depend on resin and dryer capacity—follow resin supplier recommendations and ensure hopper/dryer integration when processing these materials.
Recommended routine maintenance: daily visual checks, clean hopper and mold area, check hydraulic oil levels and tighten fasteners; weekly lubrication of designated points and inspection of hoses/fittings; monthly checks of electrical connections and hydraulic filters; annual full inspection and calibration. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance manual for precise intervals.
Installation and operator training are commonly offered by suppliers either as part of the purchase or as an add-on service. Confirm with your vendor whether onsite commissioning, startup assistance and operator/maintenance training are included or available at additional cost.
Typical optional items include hot-runner systems, mold temperature controllers, robot pick-and-place arms, air blowers, additional safety devices (light curtains), upgraded PLC/HMI packages, energy-efficient servo pumps and customized ejector systems. Check with the supplier for available factory options and retrofit possibilities.
Warranty terms vary by manufacturer and seller. Ask the vendor for their standard warranty period, covered components (electrical, hydraulic, mechanical), spare-parts availability and response times for technical support and field service. Many suppliers offer extended service contracts and parts kits.
Contact the machine seller or manufacturer and provide part drawings, expected cycle time, material grade, desired annual output and any special requirements (e.g., automation, hot-runner). Request the full technical datasheet (clamping force, platen size, power/air requirements, hydraulic specifications) and a detailed quote including installation and commissioning.
