Packaging Injection Molding Applications from Chen Hsong

Packaging injection molding covers thin-wall food containers, lids, caps and closures, cosmetics packaging, PET preforms, industrial containers and in-mold labelling. Cycle times under three seconds are normal here, and yield at speed is what decides whether a part makes money.

Built for Thin-Wall Speed

High-speed packaging machines reach injection speeds up to 500 mm/s with dry cycles from 1.5 seconds. SPEED covers 128 to 468 tonnes, SPEED-PACK II 206 to 570 tonnes, and SUPER PACK 270 to 430 tonnes for the heavier thin-wall work. IML adds another constraint, since the robot needs mold open time to be short and, more importantly, identical every cycle. That’s a process stability question more than a speed question.

PET and Preform Production

PET needs low-shear plasticising to avoid yellowing and excess acetaldehyde. JM-PET/S2 and JM-PET/H use chrome-plated PET screws built for that, with high-rigidity clamping for large container tools. Caps and closures with a soft liner or a second colour move to multi-material machines, molding both materials in one cycle. Machine data and typical configurations are on the packaging injection molding page.

Back-to-School Demand: From Tumblers to Luggage, What Do These Products Require from Injection Molding? Meeting Back-to-School Demand with the Right Production Setup

Back-to-school shopping brings a familiar mix of plastic products into production, from insulated tumblers and pencil cases to lunch boxes and luggage. For manufacturers, the focus is not only on production volume, but also on maintaining consistent molding results across different applications. These are relatively mature molding applications, and standard Chen Hsong machine series can […]

Cap for 5-Gallon Water Bottle

Producing 5-gallon water bottle caps is a balancing act. Combining LDPE with TPE requires top-notch precision; any variation leads to seal failure, material waste, or costly contamination. We are seeing manufacturers in Colombia master this complexity using our JM168-DMIII multi-material solution.

Plastic Injection Molding of Large Paint Bucket

Paint Bucket In the above video, one of our clients is test running the JM668-MK6 to produce large paint buckets. Since this product is a fairly common one in the construction and household industries, and designs have been standardized over the years, manufacturers need to find ways to remain competitive by offering even shorter lead […]
