Taiwanese rubber machine maker Tung Yu Hydraulic Machinery knows that it has to always keep a step ahead of its competitors. At the recently concluded Taipeiplas show in Taiwan, it showcased the THP-V-100-2RT compression moulding machine for rubber seal vulcanisation that has been enhanced so that there are no pipes or hoses visible on the outside.
“We have adopted a brand new image for the machine. In fact, the controller has fingerprint identification instead of passwords to lock the press or the touchscreen,” said a company spokesperson. “We need to distinguish the machine from our competition,” he added.
Other features include easy operation and a fixed daylight and stroke for easy mould change. It also features a vacuum cover design, shortening curing time and increasing productivity, and a high speed vacuum system to eliminate air bubbles inside the cured rubber products, said the spokesperson.
The displayed machine had been sold to Taiwanese firm Maxmold Polymer that makes rubber oil seals.
