FAQs / Buyer Questions
The answers our engineers give most often about the 260 Ton, before a specification is agreed.
What Is the C Series 260 Ton Injection Moulding Machine?
It is a horizontal plastic injection moulding machine from Pratishna Engineers, built for larger containers, pails, lids and higher-cavity thin-wall moulds.What Can I Manufacture on a 260 Ton Container Machine?
Typical products include paint and lube pail lids, pails of medium size, large iml tubs, ice cream and dairy containers and high-cavity thin-wall container moulds.How Do I Know if 260 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 260 Ton is suitable.What Are the Screw Options on the C Series 260 Ton?
The 260 Ton is available with two screws: the 55 mm screw gives a 513 g shot at up to 1,862 kg/cm² and 215 cc/sec; the 60 mm screw gives a 610 g shot at up to 1,564 kg/cm² and 256 cc/sec. Clamping, ejector and general specifications are common to all screw options.What Mould Size Fits the 260 Ton?
The 260 Ton takes moulds 200 to 600 mm thick within a tie-bar space of 580 × 497 mm, on platens of 865 × 800 mm, with a 1050 mm daylight opening and 150 mm ejector stroke.
What Plastic Materials Can the 260 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 260 Ton Is Not the Right Size, What Other Options Are There?
The C Series also offers 140 Ton, 180 Ton, 220 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 260 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.
