On October 7, the opening ceremony of YIZUMI new India Gujarat factory (shortened as new India factory) was held in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. A great number of people came to attend this grand ceremony, including Indian government leaders, industry experts, customer representatives, friendly Chinese companies in India, and employees of new India factory.

It is reported that the new India factory is designed and built as a modern manufacturing factory with full reference to the standards of YIZUMI’s headquarters. The factory has the capacity to better meet the needs of Indian market with some particular functions such as customization and development of non-standard requirements, parts manufacturing, complete machine assembly and commissioning, as well as customer service and training.

With the support of the new India factory, a professional team of Chinese and Indian engineers will provide Indian customers with faster product delivery, higher quality products, and better after-sales service. Its successful completion also demonstrates YIZUMI’s strong determination of long-term development in Indian market.

In this regard, Mr. Zhang Tao, the deputy managing director of Guangdong Yizumi Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. (“YIZUMI”) and general manager of the injection molding machine division said, “As an important production base and customer service platform built by YIZUMI outside of China, the new India factory will provide high quality products and comprehensive services to Indian customers, enhance YIZUMI’s overall competitiveness in the Indian market, and radiate to the surrounding countries and regions, driving the expansion of YIZUMI’s injection molding machines in South Asia, Central Asia, and Africa.”

For PVC/PPR pipe fittings with nuts with a diameter of around φ25mm most of the producer will choose an injection molding machine of around 250T and a mold cavities of 8 Cavities, will a more cavities mold design with a larger injection molding machine a better choice for pipe fittings producers?

8 Cavities Pipe Fittings Nut Insertion Automation Solution

According to the experience of working with LESSO group in the automiztion of their PVC/PPR pipe fittings injection production system, we finally decide to have an 8 cavities mold deisgn with 250T injection molding machine because:

• A 250T injection molding machine with 8 cavities mold design is an economic investment to start up a pipe fittings injection production system.
• For a pipe fittings auto-injection production system with nut insertion, the weight of the EOAT would be very heavy. An eight cavities solution will perfectly balance the payload of the injection robot and weight of the EOAT.
• An 8 cavities layout design of the pipe fittings will produce a better mold flow during the injection production of the pipe fittings.

Anyway, to upgrade your PVC/PPR pipe fittings injection molding system you must keep in mind that it's only valuable to have an automation system for bulk production products, which means that one injection molding machine with only one mold to be equipped with one automation system for the pipe fittings' Nut insertion, runner cutting and parts picking.
