FAQs / Buyer Questions
The answers our engineers give most often about the 140 Ton, before a specification is agreed.
What Is the C Series 140 Ton Injection Moulding Machine?
It is a horizontal plastic injection moulding machine from Pratishna Engineers, the smallest model in the C Series, built for caps, closures, cups and small thin-wall containers in multi-cavity moulds.What Can I Manufacture on a 140 Ton Container Machine?
Typical products include screw caps and flip-top closures, cosmetic and pharma closures, dairy cups and small tubs, thin-wall food containers up to about 500 ml and measuring scoops and dosing caps.How Do I Know if 140 Ton Is Enough for My Container?
Required clamping force depends on the projected area of all cavities, wall thickness, flow length and material, with a safety factor. Thin-wall parts need more pressure and clamp margin than their weight suggests. Share your container and mould details and Pratishna Engineers will confirm whether the 140 Ton is suitable.What Are the Screw Options on the C Series 140 Ton?
The 140 Ton is available with one screw: the 35 mm screw gives a 151 g shot at up to 2,195 kg/cm² and 95 cc/sec.What Mould Size Fits the 140 Ton?
The 140 Ton takes moulds 165 to 450 mm thick within a tie-bar space of 405 × 340 mm, on platens of 640 × 570 mm, with a 750 mm daylight opening and 100 mm ejector stroke.
What Plastic Materials Can the 140 Ton Machine Process?
Depending on configuration, it can process PP copolymer, high-flow PP, HDPE, LDPE, PS and other thermoplastics used in packaging, as well as engineering plastics.If 140 Ton Is Not the Right Size, What Other Options Are There?
The C Series also offers 180 Ton, 220 Ton, 260 Ton and 320 Ton models. Larger pails and containers can move to the PHM Series two platen machines, and smaller parts to the E Series.Does Pratishna Provide Installation and After-Sales Support?
Yes. Installation, commissioning, operator training, spare parts and after-sales technical support are provided as part of Pratishna’s machine lifecycle services.How Do I Get a Price for the C Series 140 Ton?
Share your container drawing, material, part weight, mould dimensions, cavities, production quantity and cycle time, and Pratishna Engineers will evaluate the configuration and provide a quotation.
