280 Ton Plastic Injection Molding Machine for Spoon Production

Overview

Optimized for high-speed cutlery manufacturing, the 280 Ton Plastic Injection Molding Machine balances rapid cycle times with strict hygiene standards, making it the ideal solution for disposable and reusable spoon production. Its specialized two-platen clamping unit and short-stroke injection system achieve cycle times as low as 3.2 seconds for standard 15g spoons, while maintaining compliance with global food contact safety regulations. The machine supports both conventional plastics (PP, PS) and sustainable materials (PLA, starch-based composites), aligning with evolving eco-packaging demands.

Features

Hygienic Design Architecture

All wetted components (screw, barrel, mold contacts) coated with FDA-compliant Teflon® non-stick layers, reducing material residue and simplifying daily sanitization.

Dual-Plunger Injection Unit

Delivers 250mm/s injection speed with 1% velocity consistency, ensuring uniform wall thickness in thin-gauge spoon handles (0.8-1.2mm) and glossy surface finishes.

Quick-Change Tooling System

Hydraulic mold clamps with automatic alignment enable full mold replacement in under 3 minutes, supported by a built-in mold height adjustment mechanism for multi-cavity tools (up to 32 cavities).

Energy-Optimized Hydraulics

Low-noise servo pump system reduces power consumption by 30% compared to conventional pumps, while maintaining peak pressure (180 bar) for high-output runs.

Application

Foodservice Packaging

Mass-producing airline cutlery, fast-food spoons, and biodegradable dessert spoons with embossed logos or custom geometries.

Household Essentials

Manufacturing ergonomic baby spoons, stainless-steel reinforced kitchen utensils, and microwave-safe reusable spoons in diverse colors and designs.

Industrial Use

Fabricating chemical-resistant spoons for laboratory sampling and pharmaceutical powder handling, using materials like PVDF and PPS.
