AT K 2019 – THE 3RD TECHNOLOGY GENERATION: NEW SOLUTIONS TO THE POINT

HAITIAN INTERNATIONAL PRESENTS THE NEXT GENERATION OF TECHNOLOGY AT K SHOW 2019 +++ NEW TECHNOLOGIES, COMPONENTS AND PERFORMANCE VERSIONS +++ NEW MODULARITY THROUGH HYBRID SOLUTIONS +++ OPEN INTEGRATION FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY +++ FURTHER OPTIMIZATION FOR INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS

Following the proven strategy “Technology to the Point”, the 3rd technology generation from Haitian International combines innovative new developments in hardware and software with beneficial optimization of machine models – both in the servo-hydraulic top sellers from Haitian and in the electric pioneer series from the Zhafir brand. The 3rd technology generation delivers even more efficiency, productivity and new “solutions to the point”. The versatility of the electric product range has been greatly expanded, and the performance of the servo-hydraulic two-platen machines has been significantly increased. Optimized drives and an open integration strategy for robotics and automation increase the scope for investment and flexibility in production. Ongoing improvements and the consistent improvement of standard components such as motors result in higher performance but also higher overall resource savings.

Worldwide, standard plastics with a theoretically high recycling rate are predominantly used in over 80% of standard applications. Haitian International’s success strategy is to build injection molding machines for precisely these standard applications and to continuously optimise them with regard to standard components. Technologies to the point support the resource and energy-saving use of raw materials to produce recyclable plastic parts. At the same time, we have worked intensely to make electrical technologies affordable, because responsible mechanical engineering undoubtedly requires energy-efficient concepts. Electrical solutions under the Zhafir brand are now among the top 3 worldwide in sales; they are per se energy-efficient and sustainable.

THE EXHIBITS AT K2019

At the K fair, 4 live exhibits will produce standard applications with recyclates or 100% recyclable materials.

Absolute Haitian Opens Operations Facility In South Carolina, USA

Absolute Haitian Opens Operations Facility In South Carolina, USA

Charleston, SC, May 30, 2019 – Absolute Haitian Corporation (Worcester, MA), the exclusive sales and service partner of Haitian International (Ningbo, China) has expanded their North American operations with the opening of a 116,000-sq.-ft. facility in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, just outside of Charleston. The new facility provides additional capacity and capabilities to support Haitian International’s product lines for injection molders in the USA and Canada. The new operations facility complements existing facilities for the U.S. and Canada in Worcester, Massachusetts; Cleveland, Ohio; and Batavia, Illinois; plus warehousing in southern California.

On May 30, Absolute Haitian and Haitian International held a grand opening celebration with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour of the new facility for customers, suppliers, public officials and other guests.

New facility enables domestic machine assembly of Haitian International’s molding machines

Approximately 100,000 square feet of the new Moncks Corner facility is dedicated to manufacturing, warehouse and demonstration space with the capacity to assemble and test large tonnage machines and store stock machines and aftermarket parts. High ceilings accommodate large tonnage presses even when equipped with top entry automation. Three overhead cranes including one 50-ton crane, plus multi-level docks and reinforced concrete flooring facilitate the delivery and storage of large-tonnage machine assemblies. The facility’s drive-in dock enables flatbed trucks to move fully loaded onto the floor for more convenient unloading. “All of these features position us well to reduce lead times on delivery and enhance support to our customers,” said Mike Ortolano, co-owner of Absolute Haitian.

The 16,000-sq.-ft. office space houses a training center, applications engineering offices and sales functions.

South Carolina selected based on geographic and market analysis

“Although other states along the eastern seaboard were considered, economic development officials in the state of South Carolina and regional economic development groups helped make the selection an easy one,” said Absolute Haitian co-owner Nate Smith. “The expansion of the automotive sector, presence of white goods manufacturing and fast regional growth in the southeast were major considerations. In fact, we’re located in the same industrial park as a $1.2 billion Google data center.”

“Most of the large tonnage machines sold in the U.S. are delivered to customers in the southeastern U.S., the upper Midwest states of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, and Canada, forming a large machine corridor,” said Glenn Frohring, co-owner of Absolute Haitian. “The deep-water port of Charleston allows us to connect easily to that corridor via nearby intermodal transportation options for fast delivery to the customer.”

“This investment in infrastructure enables Absolute Haitian to support the needs of our customers and continue to grow our installed machine base in North America,” noted Frohring. “We are pursuing a range of domestic machine assembly options in collaboration with Haitian, based on the needs of the market.”
