Servo-Hydraulic Energy Saving Injection Moulding Machine

BOLE EKW SERIES

New from BOLE is the EKW Series of wide platen, hydraulic servo energy-saving injection moulding machines. BOLE’s latest servo technology enables machines of the same size, tonnage and model to produce the same products under the same conditions, using at least 15% less energy when compared to traditional servo machines.

With its wide platen and tie-bar spacing, central clamping toggle and large opening stroke, increased energy efficiency doesn’t come at a cost with the EKW Series still maintaining the flexibility, accuracy and productivity expected from BOLE machines.

Available in sizes ranging from 100 – 5500 tonnes, the EKW Series is a flexible injection moulding machinery range suitable for energy-conscious manufacturers.

BOLE EKW-ECO SERIES

The latest EKW-ECO hybrid energy-saving moulding machinery range from BOLE enables further energy savings thanks to the latest screw drive technology.

The EKW-ECO series, equipped with BOLE’s new electric plasticisng solution, enables energy savings of up to 35% in the screw-back phase, and over an 18% saving in total machine energy consumption when compared to machines of the same tonnage.

Reducing environmental impact and energy consumption is now important for manufacturers more than ever. The EKW-ECO range enables significant energy reductions and efficiency improvements thanks to its new energy-saving ceramic heater bands, the latest screw drive technology, a newly designed series motor and a new oil pump, combining to create significant overall savings.

Key Features

Central Clamping Structure

  • Eliminates external bending and keeps locking force parallel to the centre of the mould. This protects moulds and improves accuracy.
  • Avoids product flash when small moulds are used in large machines.
  • Reduces the tonnage required (tonnage loss due to deflection), this, in turn, reducing the load on the pump and lowering energy consumption.
  • Completely overcomes the deformation of platens due to the deployment of balanced forces.
  • Ejector stroke is not limited by toggles; easier for installation and maintenance.
  • Opening stroke increased by 10-20%+

Floating tie bars

Floating tie-bars offer a distinct advantage over traditional tie-bar design. Less direct contact between tie-bars and the mould reduces spring deformation, increases clamping precision, and protects platens and moulds. EKW models use this design feature in combination with the support of the moving platen using precision linear guides, further reducing friction and improving rigidity and cleanliness.

Servo-driven injection moulding machine

Through the utilisation of advanced servo-drive systems, energy consumption is significantly reduced. Servo-motors are used in conjunction with hydraulic pumps to provide a solution that is both high in energy savings and cost-efficient.

Energy consumption can be reduced from 40% up to 80% when compared to some fully hydraulic moulding machines. The lower cooling requirements associated with a servo-motor system also extends the service life of hydraulic oil, as well as reducing the required cooling capacity of the machine’s heat exchange system.

Efficiency

The unique design of the Central Clamping Structure, coupled with the advantages of servo-motor technology can help the user see a 2-5% saving in material usage, along with up to 80% reductions in energy consumption.
