BOLE's successful series show case at CHINAPLS 2018
As one of China’s three backbone enterprises with the title of “Injection Molding Machine Special Industry Base of China”, Bole Machinery has been recognized as one of China’s Top 10 injection molding machine companies for many years. It carries out innovation towards “intelligence, high efficiency, precision, and energy conservation” and has developed four series of machine models: EK, DK, FE, and CIML.
At CHINAPLAS 2018, Bole Machinery has a complete showcase of its new generation of EK-S hydraulic injection molding machines, its DK series of two-platen injection molding machines, its FE series of all-electric injection molding machines, and its CIML series of intelligent production lines for carbon-fiber products.
As introduced by Bole Machinery’s Assistant General Manager Li Qiuhong, the EKS is Bole’s optimized new generation of hydraulic injection molding machines. Thanks to 100% clamping force utilization, it can reduce the occurrence of blurs in clients’ products, save materials, and provide effective protection to molds, platens and tie-bars.
“The DK series of two-platen injection molding machines uses patented tie-bar and cylinder designs. Matched with an excellent control system, it has made significant breakthroughs in terms of stability, half-nut failure rate, dry cycle time, machine life and so on. It is on par with imported equipment,” said Mr Li.
The FE series of all-electric injection molding machines continues to adopt a central clamping structure during the process of developing all-electric machines. The machine series uses an all-sealed oil-immersed design for ball screws, a kind of critical part of the machine, to ensure the cleanliness of the screws while achieving better lubrication and longer screw life. Besides, such ball screw design is cost-saving as it saves ball screw grease during the daily use of the machines by clients.
According to Mr Li, Bole’s most significant product on display at CHINAPLAS 2018 is the CIML intelligent production line for carbon-fiber products. As a powerful automotive lightweighting tool, this molding technology solution for carbon-fiber reinforced composite materials integrates equipment, processes and material formulation together and combines two processes, “granulation” and “injection molding”, into one. “Take the production of electric car battery racks as an example. Compared to traditional materials, PA+CF composites can reduce weight by 70%,” he said.
Bole’s plastics machinery has been widely used in industries including electronic communications, medical services, optics, packaging, small appliances, and automotive and motorcycle accessories. Mr Li noted that these industries are very demanding on the precision of injection molding machines. Therefore, all of them are “sunrise industries” and have enormous room for development and exploration in every market in China and abroad.
Markets bloom at home and abroad
According to Mr Li, Bole Machinery’s overseas sales revenues approximately amount to 50% of the company’s total revenue at present. Meanwhile, thanks to the patented central locking structure, Bole’s injection molding machines have been recognized in both Chinese and overseas markets, particularly the high-end sectors. Bole’s key export destinations are developed countries such as the US and Korea, and it is gradually extending its reach to developing countries. At present, Bole Machinery takes up a 5% market share in Korea.
China’s injection molding machine market has constantly been under intense competition. While there is an oversupply of injection molding machines with ordinary specifications (excluding high-sized machines), market demand for high-tech injection molding machines is becoming stronger and stronger.
Mr Li concluded that Bole Machinery always strives to pursue innovation in technology and to win with quality. Internally it pursues efficiency through management, intelligentization and lean manufacturing. Externally, it concentrates on going international and establishing a global presence while being committed to becoming a leading enterprise in the R&D, design, manufacturing and application of high-end injection molding equipment.
