The DESMA 968.T series of machines uses a vertical downward acting clamp and a side mounted injection unit feeding the mold on the parting line. It is also well suited for double deck production using a centrally mounted cold runner block. Some of the many advantages of this machine include an easily accessible feeding zone for rubber compound, easy access to the injection unit for maintenance and a very low working height. The 968 T machines are built in five standard sizes ranging from 250 metric tons to 1000 metric tons. Injection units are available in sizes from 350 cm to 30,000cm. 

FEATURES OF THE DESMA 968T MODEL

Many vertical machines are made similar to this concept (lateral injection and clamping system from top).

The advantages of this series include the possibilities to combine relatively large injection volumes with even smaller clamping forces and the optimum accessibility of machine components to refill e. g. silicone stuffing devices, strip feeding etc.

This series offers further advantages for the production of articles which are hanging from the mould carrier area, as only the upper mould carrier plate is moved to build-up clamping pressure.

Examples of application are the production of large-volume insulators made of HTV.
Due to lateral injection, the distribution in two decks via a centrally arranged cold runner block is feasible.
