Shibaura Machine EC55SX III 55t
Plastics Machinery, LLC installed this All-Electric machine in 2019 with an Advantage TCU and a Sepro S5 Sprue Picker. The V70 controller has a 19" touchscreen that enables users to process outputs while simultaneously viewing configuration displays. Contamination is kept to a minimum because of its simple construction and lack of hydraulic fluid. This machine works quietly, making it perfect for training and for anyone new to injection molding practices.
