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.

Since introduction, the Zhafir Series have been continuously improved. The electric technology in generation 3 presents itself as even more customer-oriented thanks to an optimized toggle design and a new injection unit – especially in the upper clamping force segment.

PATENTED WORLD PREMIERE: NEW ELECTRIC ZHAFIR INJECTION UNIT

The new, pioneering concept of electric injection units from Zhafir’s high-tech engineers is our technological trade fair highlight. Available in four design versions with 1, 2 and 4 spindles (patented and attractively priced), the injection pressure is significantly increased. After the exclusive preview at our Open House, we are now showing the large 12800 injection unit at K2019.

The new patented concept for large electric injection units: 4 spindles + 4 motors

CLEAN, ELECTRICAL SOLUTION FOR MEDICAL: ZHAFIR VENUS III SERIES

Fully electric dynamics with the highest precision and up to 70% energy savings. A VE1200III produces a medical part made of PP under a laminar flow box from cleanroom manufacturer Max Petek.

DYNAMIC SOLUTION FOR PACKAGING: ZHAFIR ZERES F SERIES

Electric all-rounder with integrated hydraulic drive. ZE2300F-830h – based on the latest 3rd generation technology from Zhafir – produces a 4-cavity lid with IML, both made of PP, in a Sepro Robotique production cell.

Facelift and technical optimizations: The 3rd generation of the electric Zhafir family

COMPACT SOLUTION FOR LARGE AUTOMOTIVE PARTS: HAITIAN JUPITER III SERIES

Compact two-platen solution with even more free space and an open integration concept for intelligent control and digitization of process sequences. Design innovations lead to more stable platen movements and shorter dry cycle times. A JU5500III-2230 produces an LED light strip made of PC, integrated into a production cell with a 6-axis-robot from AB

ECONOMICAL SOLUTION FOR CONSUMER GOODS: HAITIAN MARS III SERIES

The Mars Series remains the world’s best-selling injection molding machine. The servo-hydraulic bestseller presents itself in the 3rd generation with new motors, new machine design and many other improvements analogous to the Jupiter III Series. An MA1700III/plus produces bottle openers made of PP recyclate with insert technology, integrated in a production cell including a Hilectro robot from Haitian Drive Systems.

Haitian International 2019: Continuous Growth & Expansion

by Haitian | Sep 3, 2019 | Company News

Haitian International Holdings Ltd, one of the world’s largest producers of plastic injection molding machines, has opened the construction of one of its manufacturing site in the Americas, following its global long-term strategy to manufacture and assemble locally.

The new Mexican plant with an area of 92,000 sqm is located in Centro Logistico Jalisco, an industrial park located in Acatlan de Juarez, a Guadalajara metropolitan area municipality. It was chosen because it offers fast access to the booming industrial zones in Central Mexico, as well as efficient transport means to the rest of the country, while also being close to the Manzanillo seaport.

On May 28th, exactly at 11:18, the official groundbreaking ceremony took place with the attendance of over 180 guests, among them local government officials, Haitian Mexico staff, local customers and specialized media. Haitian Group’s global authorities joined the event, including Mr. Zhang Jianming, President of Haitian International, Mr. Zhang Jianfeng, President of Haitian Plastics Machinery Group, and Mr. Chen Weiqun, Vice President of Haitian Plastics Machinery Group.

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.”
