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 18^th. 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.

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.

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 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?

Just incase you didn't notice, you can remove the param at the end of the link to get the full size image.

We have a CNC machine for cutting molds. why wouldnt we want 1 of these?

[Michael P. Flaga]

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.

I would love to play with one of these and show others.
Just trying to find out some details first.

Located west side of Lansing, and need a forklift to load on a trailer. Details are VERY limited in this email. I would guess the machine pictured is 8' x 3' the part that rises can be laid down for horizontal injection.

This looks like maybe a 40 ton press.

Change in plans - we need one more volunteer to help tonight lift the big injection mold machine into the truck.

The four of us will leave around 8:30 tonight from M59 & Rochester Road with the truck for a 2 1/2 hour ride to Ionia, MI.  Load the machine and then shoot strait back.  We'll worry about unloading the truck tomorrow - sometime.

Any volunteer?

I just talked to Darin.  He'll be returning to Ionia from Lansing later this evening, so sometime after 10 pm would work fine for him.  If we leave this area at 8:30, that should put us there around 10:30 unless you drive really, really fast!  He's going to give me a call when he's headed back there.  He suggested tools and flashlights, since he's had the power turned off to the pole-barn where the machine is located.  We will have to disconnect it from the electric panel, so screwdrivers and adjustable wrenches.  I can bring my tool box with that plus hammer, etc.

I didn't get the address yet, but Gary said it's near the state prison in Ionia.
