Vertical Injection Molding Service in China
We provide vertical injection molding — where the injection and clamping units share a vertical centre line and the mould opens vertically. Ideal for insert molding and precision automation, in about half the floor space of a horizontal machine.

- ~half the floor space
- Robot part removal
- Rotary / tilt-table automation
What is vertical injection molding?
In vertical injection molding, the injection and locking devices sit on the same vertical centre line, and the mould opens and closes in the same vertical direction — covering only about half the floor area of a horizontal machine.
Because the mould surface faces up, locating an insert into the cavity is easy. With a fixed lower platen and a moving upper platen, automatic insert molding is simple to achieve.
Characteristics and advantages
Easy insert molding
Face-up mould holds inserts by gravity; ideal for automatic insert molding.
Compact footprint
About half the area of a horizontal machine of similar capacity.
Maintained accuracy
Mould weight supported by the horizontal clamping platens, keeping mechanical and mould accuracy.
Precision removal
A simple robot lifts the part straight out of the cavity — good for precision molding.
Built for automation
The easy-open locking device makes it simple to install all kinds of automation. Conveying equipment installs easily beside the machine for fully automatic production, and it is easy to ensure consistent resin flow and mould-temperature distribution. Fitted with a rotary table, moving platform or tilt table, a vertical machine adapts to making complex, delicate products automatically.

Vertical injection molding FAQ
What is vertical injection molding?
In vertical injection molding the injection and clamping units share the same vertical centre line, and the mould opens and closes vertically. The mould sits face-up, which makes it ideal for insert molding and precision automation.
Why is vertical molding good for insert molding?
Because the mould face points up, inserts can be located into the cavity easily — often held by gravity. With a fixed lower platen and a moving upper platen, automatic insert molding is straightforward.
How much floor space does a vertical machine need?
About half that of a comparable horizontal machine, because the clamping stack is vertical rather than laid out horizontally — useful where floor space is limited.
Does vertical molding help precision?
Yes. The mould weight is supported by the horizontal clamping platens during up-and-down movement, so the mould stays accurately aligned. A simple robot lifts parts straight out of the cavity, which suits precision and delicate products.
Can vertical machines be automated?
Highly. The easy-open clamping suits rotary tables, moving platforms and tilt tables, and conveying equipment installs easily beside the machine — so complex, delicate products can be made in a fully automatic cell with consistent resin flow and mould-temperature distribution.
