How To Buy Used Injection Molding 
Machines  
With so many used injection molding machines on the market, choosing 
the right one to buy if you want to venture into the production of plastic 
products can be a challenging task. You need to take your time to 
compare options and choose a machine that will serve you for many 
years to come.  The following are some of the important things you 
should consider when buying a used plastic injection molder. 
 
First of all, you need to consider shot size. This is best defined as the 
maximum amount of plastic that the injection molding machinery is 
capable of injecting into the molding cavity during one molding cycle.

When choose a machine, it is always a best practice to look for one that 
is capable of producing 30 to 40 percent greater shot sizes than what 
your parts require. 
 
Another factor you will need to consider when looking for the right used 
injection molding machine is clamp tonnage or clamping pressure. This 
could be considered the same concept as when you are examining press 
brakes. When it comes to press brakes, the tonnage capabilities are 
measured by the number of tons of down-force the machine is capable 
of directing towards a work-piece.

But with plastic injection molding machines, tonnage is measured by the 
number of tons with which the machine is capable of pressing together 
the platens, which hold the mold cavity and form the plastic that is 
injected into said cavity to produce the desired part. 
 
You also need to consider platen size when looking for the right used 
injection molding machines. The platen is a table or tool that holds the 
mold cavity. Spaced apart, the mold is inserted and clamped securely to 
the platens. After the two platens come together and are held under the 
pressure of tonnage, the plastic is heated, injected under pressure, and 
then allowed to cool through a molding cooling cycle.

This is where the plastic takes on its hardened, final shape while 
continuing to be kept in place with many tons of pressure in order to 
retain the desired shape.
