sapona adds presses

We have recently added 3 new presses bringing the total to 27 presses across 2 plants. 

At plant 2 we added a Nissei FNX460III (500 USTons) advanced hybrid injection molding machine combining the best of hydraulic power (durability, high pressure) and electric efficiency (energy saving, precision).  The core technology of the machine allows servo-controlled hydraulic flow for on-demand power, reducing energy use and improving control.  This brings our number of 400-500 Ton range presses to 9.

At plant 1 we replaced a 400 Ton with a new Nissei NEX360V-140LE (400 USTon, 37.1 ounce) All Servo Electric Machine.  Nissei NEX are high-performance, all-electric injection molding machines known for their speed, precision, energy efficiency, and compact footprint, featuring advanced toggle clamp for fast cycles, wide daylights for large molds, and smart controls for easier, stable operation.

At plant 1 we are replacing one our first presses, a 1998 Van Dorn 120 Ton HT, with a new Nissei NEX110IV-18E, (120 USTon, 6.1 ounce.)   This brings our total of all-electric presses to 19.

At plant 1 we are replacing the 720 Ton Toshiba from 2001 with a Nissei FVX660III-400L (720 USTons, 134 ounce) Large Hybrid (Direct-Pressure Clamping).  This new machine has high rigidity, straight clamping, excellent injection performance, energy saving (up to 55%), low noise, and enhanced workability.  Our team likes that is is low profile and the two piece design allowed us to fit it into a tight space.  This machine comes with the familiar Tact IV controller allowing us to focus on large-scale, high-performance molding with efficiency.

The clamp mechanisms on each machine ensure uniform mold contact pressure, prolonging mold life and supporting stable, high-cycle molding.

In addition to the new presses, we have installed a new bridge crane that will improve worker safety and reduce changeover timel. This covers 10 presses at plant 1 with a 5 Ton capacity.  The system was installed by Engineered Systems Inc.
