Compact Laboratory Injection Moulding System for Polymer Test Specimen Production
The Ray-Ran Test Sample Injection Moulding Apparatus is a compact, reliable and cost-effective laboratory injection moulding system designed to produce high-quality plastic test specimens, colour plaques and small moulded components for material evaluation.
Ideal for research and development laboratories, universities, technical institutes, workshops and quality control facilities, the system enables users to quickly manufacture consistent polymer samples for mechanical testing, product development and material characterisation.
Efficient Polymer Sample Preparation
The Ray-Ran injection moulding press provides a practical solution for preparing test specimens from a wide range of thermoplastic materials, including:
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polyethylene (PE)
- PET
- Engineering polymers and other thermoplastics
Using pneumatic operation and injection pressures up to 450 bar (6500 psi), the system delivers accurate mould filling and repeatable sample production for demanding testing applications.
Precision Heating and Temperature Control
The integrated digital temperature control system allows polymer materials to be heated up to 400°C, ensuring efficient melting and consistent processing conditions.
A separately controlled heated tool block, capable of temperatures up to 200°C, helps maintain polymer flow during injection, reducing premature cooling and ensuring high-quality specimen formation.
Reduce Material Waste and Improve Efficiency
The innovative quick-release cam-operated tool block accepts interchangeable low-cost mould inserts, allowing users to create a wide range of test specimens with minimal material waste.
The quick-change cylinder liner and die assembly allows rapid switching between materials and colours, reducing downtime and eliminating the need for extensive purging between tests.
Versatile Test Specimen Production
The Ray-Ran Test Sample Injection Moulding Apparatus can be configured with mould inserts to produce specimens for many international testing standards, including:
- Tensile test specimens
- Impact test bars
- Colour plaques
- Custom mechanical testing samples
- Small polymer components
Customised tooling solutions are available for specialised testing requirements or non-standard sample geometries.
Compact Laboratory Design
With its small footprint and vertical bench-mounted design, the Ray-Ran injection moulding press is ideal for laboratories where space efficiency and flexibility are important.
Its simple operation makes it suitable for both experienced polymer testing professionals and educational environments.
