Injection Modeling
Michael P. Flaga
A fellow employee, is moving houses (Ionia to Lansing Area) and has two injection molding press in his garage, a small and large, see attached pictures. He has offered for free to any makerspace that is willing to come and get it before the final sell of the house, Oct 18th. It comes with some molds, tools, bags of different plastics and the big one runs on 3 phase 220Vac. His neighbor, stated the previous owner of the house, ran it and another friend recently powered it up and said it appeared to be all running. The Lansing space is not ready to receive it hence I am forwarding the offer to your groups. If interested please contact me.

He was not able to locate any identification marks on the device’s. Just manufacture. And looking up their website we see this is apparently not documented online. So the attached pictures are all that is available.
I would have liked to have had such info before announcing it. But “As is” is it.

Can you find out the tonage of each press, make and models.
Also any accessories, chillers, dryers. Details on the molds. And what resin he actually has.

I have asked my associate to get better pictures and to try to look for the id panel.
He does not have a LIFT. But the lighter one is easily movable. And the bigger was he was able to budge it. So I would think a minimum of 4 persons could tilt it and a journeyman pull it on a low trailer.

Can we get better pics? I can tell the one is an arburg. There should be a stamped plate somewhere on the machine, possibly on the inside of one of the covers.
btw aha, do you even have 3 phase power? or space for a industrial machine? That small machine is probably 3'x3' and stands 8' tall.
if you are thinking of running it in your basement I highly recommend against it! The fumes from the melting plastic will cause everyone to evacuate. And a fire marshal will really love you guys :|
Also does he have any means of lifting either machine (forklift) on site at his house?
