Jon Wai stressed importance of speed in 2 major industries

At InterPlas Thailand, Jon Wai Machinery Works Sales Manager Harrison Chen delivered a highly informative presentation in a seminar hosted by Ringier Trade Media Ltd in cooperation with InterPlas Thailand organizer, Reed Tradex. In his presentation, Mr. Chen provided tips on how to be successful in the automotive and packaging industries by utilizing the latest technologies available today. 

Found in 1971, Jon Wai Machinery Works already has over 40 years of experience in the plastics industry with its presence in various parts of the world, including two factories located in Taiwan and China, and several branch offices in Brazil and India. The company has a yearly production capacity of 1400 sets from its Taiwan and China production plants.  

Jon Wai, according to Mr. Chen, provides solutions for packaging, thin-wall container, in-mold labelling, preform/cap and its machines can range up to 3500 tons for bumper. The company’s machines are ideal for multi-resin injection molding.  

The ultra-fast thin wall series features injection speed of 550/800 mm / sec, cycle time of 2.35 sec for 2+2 stack mold and electrical charging motor.  The multi-resin TCW series is a rotation table-type model with two-color/two-material injection or sandwich injection molding suitable for automotive, electronics, and housewares.  The multi-resin TCS model is a joint nozzle (complala) type with V-shape design for two-color/3-color and suitable for the production of furniture.  

Another specialty of Jon Wai is the two-stage PET series, which according to Mr.  Chen, has the lowest A/A (Acetaldehyde) level (< 8ppm) in Taiwan and features two plungers for short cycle time for pre-plasticizing and injection. It also has a cooling robot that is adaptable.  The Toggle/Two-Platen Series is from 600 to 3500 tons and is known for long-term reliability that it has now taken over 70% of Taiwan big machine market, according to Mr. Chen.  

In discussing the ‘World of 0.1’ Mr. Chen focused on the cycle time where Jon Wai has achieved vast improvement. He stressed that cycle time is a system and Jon Wai is now able to substantially reduce cycle time with its machines whether these be hydraulic circuit with servo motor power saving system, or hybrid model with electrical charging motor, and fully electric machines.  He cited cases where the machines are used in the production of various containers or packaging products and automotive parts.
