At K 2022, Wilmington Machinery introduced the dual-injection Lumina MP1200 medium pressure molding machine. #kshow

The MP1200 is Wilmington Machinery’s latest addition to its medium-pressure large-part injection molding machines first introduced at NPE 2018. The machine features dual 130-mm reciprocating and compounding injection units, utilizing the company’s in-line first-in first-out 50-lb accumulators. Able to run hot and cold runner molds, including stack tools, the machine is designed for molding large gas-assist or foam products that require superior cosmetics and high-capacity production.

For foamed products, the MP1200 features direct nitrogen or CO2 injection into the extruder barrel. Like Wilmington’s other medium- and low-pressure machines, the new Lumina is available with integrated robotics, gas-assist control, resin blending, gas generation, hot runner control and other accessories, with no licenses or fees required.

At NPE 2018, Wilmington introduced the Lumina MP800 medium-pressure machine. A hybrid with a hydraulic clamp and electric extruder drive, that machine features a two-stage injection unit capable of compounding multiple raw material components and a clamp force of 800 tons.

Next month’s mammoth triennial plastics show in Düsseldorf, Germany, challenges injection molding machine builders to demonstrate technological leadership in addressing the needs of the marketplace.

At the big “K” Show next month, top billing goes to new all-electric machines aimed at every segment of the market, from general-purpose to high-end.

Water-assisted injection molding is the newest way to mold hollow or partly hollow parts.
