Next Wave

Over 30 years ago, HPM produced its first hydromechanical two platen clamping system to meet the plastic industry's demand for reduced capital cost and floor space requirements. Now that legacy lives on in the Next Wave...an innovative line of rugged, two platen clamp hydromechanical injection molding machines that meet HPM's standards for dependable performance. Accurate, high-speed clamp velocities, rapid tonnage build-up, flexible stroke and daylight specifications and minimal floor space requirements are all hallmarks of HPM's hydromechanical technology.

Our proprietary two platen design represents the most advanced clamping technology, with the only retractable tiebars in the industry. Then we added proven, high-speed injection units to produce machines from 360 to 5,000 U.S. tons that deliver many distinctive production advantages:

• 40% less floor space required than conventional machines
• Faster cycles achieved via movement of smaller oil volumes and faster tonnage build-up
• Greater energy efficiency
• Excellent stability and parallelism in platen movement and lock-up
• Material savings allow for competitive pricing
• Reduced robotic movements
