Medical Injection Molding Machine
Medical plastic parts require precision, cleanliness, and repeatability far beyond standard molding applications. CLF’s TX Series High-Speed Injection Molding Machine delivers stable, contamination-resistant, high-speed medical production for manufacturers seeking consistent, compliant results.
What Is a Medical Injection Molding Machine?
Medical molding requires equipment engineered for accuracy and cleanliness. A medical injection molding machine is specifically designed to produce medical-grade plastic parts under strict quality, safety, and clean-room requirements. The TX Series supports tight tolerances, low-particulate operation, and high-speed molding for critical components used in healthcare, diagnostics, and pharmaceutical applications.
Why Choose CLF TX Series for Medical Injection Molding?
The TX Series combines high speed, precision, and clean-room–ready design to meet medical manufacturing demands.
-
High-Speed Injection Performance for Thin-Wall Medical Products
Fast cycles are essential for labware, cups, tubes, and high-volume medical consumables. The TX Series is optimized for thin-wall and deep-draw parts with a fast-response servo-hydraulic system, high plasticizing capacity, and rapid toggle movement. These features deliver shorter cycles and stable melt flow—ideal for PCR tubes, sample cups, and other precision medical disposables.
-
Unmatched Precision for Tight-Tolerance Medical Components
Medical devices rely on consistency, accuracy, and repeatable quality.With a rigid 5-point toggle mechanism, high-stiffness platens, and precision hydraulic controls, the TX Series ensures stable clamping and ±0.5% product weight repeatability. This guarantees the consistent molding of syringe components, housings, connectors, and diagnostic parts.
-
Clean-Room Ready, Contaminant-Resistant Design
Medical production requires equipment engineered to minimize dust and particulate generation.The TX Series features fully enclosed guarding around the barrel, nozzle, and injection unit to prevent contamination. Low-lubrication mechanisms, smooth surfaces, and easy-to-clean machine interfaces support clean-room compliance and reduce contamination risks in sensitive applications.
-
Energy-Efficient Operation for 24/7 Medical Manufacturing
Cost control and stable uptime are crucial for high-volume medical molding.CLF’s servo energy-saving system reduces power consumption by up to 70% compared to conventional hydraulics. Intelligent energy management ensures consistent performance during long production cycles, making the TX Series ideal for continuous medical manufacturing environments.
-
Built for Long-Term Stability and Reliability
Medical processors depend on equipment that performs consistently over years of operation. The TX Series is built with in-house machined platens, optimized tie-bar designs, and a rigid frame structure that ensures long-term accuracy. Stable hydraulic and electrical systems provide reliable 24/7 performance, essential for high-output medical production lines.
