P350 is a high speed injection molding machine designed for thin-wall containers while P380K3 is the third generation of high speed injection molding machine by YIZUMI designed for thin-wall containers. With 30 Tons more in clamping force, does it mean that P380K3 will compatible to the molds designed according to the parameters of P350?

In one just finished IML project we encountered something embrassing. There's one mold designed according to the parameter of YIZUMI P350, and we have a P380K3 in our system testing workshop, but when the mold received we find that the mold thinkness exceeded the max mold thickness of the P380K3. After double check the parameters of both the injection molding machine we found that Mold thickness allowed for P350 is 300~750mm while the mold thickness for P380K3 is only 250~650mm. And the Max Daylight of P380K3 is 160mm less than P350.

Then how to choose between, which one would be a better choice for your IML project? It would be depends on the size of the parts of which you're producing. For smaller container 30 Tons more clamping force with 160mm less max daylight means that the injection molding machine will have a less mold Open/Close time and result in a higher productivity while for larger size containers P350 will allow you to install a thicker mold, it would be more friendly to an IML project of deep cavity containers.
