YIZUMI-HPM to Debut at NPE2018

From May 7 to 11, YIZUMI-HPM Corporation will exhibit two machines at NPE 2018 in the U.S: the DP-N series and A5-N series. Among them, the DP-N series solution that incorporates the FoamPro microcellular foam technology will demonstrate lightweight molding.

Exhibiting Successful Products: DP-N series and AS-N series

The U.S. NPE2018, the plastics show with the largest scale and longest history in North America, is a triennial international plastics manufacturing exposition dating back to the launching year in 1946. To date, it already has a history of 72 years. NPE2018 will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA this year. The exposition will draw over 6,500 exhibiting companies from 128 countries/regions. Additionally, the exhibit floor area will surpass 1 million square feet.

To illustrate the commitment to the North American market, YIZUMI-HPM Corporation will make its first appearance at Booth W3343, West Hall after the change of company name that incorporates two brands. It will be showcasing the DP-N series two-platen injection molding machine as well as A5-N standard series high-end servo injection molding machine in the main access area of the exhibit stage.

Developed under Yizumi’s IPD product development model, the DP and AS series were officially launched in 2014. They have been obtaining favorable market response in China and Europe and sold to countries like France, the Netherlands, Turkey, Morocco, Malaysia, India, etc. Among them, the export revenue for A5 injection molding machine in 2017 had attained 160 million yuan, a significant 107% growth over the previous year. The showcasing of the American version A5 series at NPE2018 is a testament of Yizumi’s confidence in these 2 product series.

To stir up interests from the North American market, the DP-N series will infer from the FoamPro microcellular foam technology to produce 5 types of high-quality document briefcase with gloss, matte, leather, fabric and fiber particles finish within a 49-second cycle. According to the introduction by the general manager, James Zhang, from Yizumi’s Injection Molding Machine Division, this technology was making its first appearance at CHINAPLAS2017. It was insightfully developed based on the MuCell technology. In addition to achieving a 20% reduction in part weight, it can also shorten the molding cycle by 30% and lower the clamping force by 50%. Furthermore, it is a significant boost for superb cosmetic surface finishes. It can also bolster various value-added qualities such as the reduction of warpage and shrinkage. “The North American market is no stranger to the microcellular foam technology. The main purpose to showcase FoamPro at NPE2018 is to allow the North American car, home appliances industries to recognize the constant self-advancement of YIZUMI-HPM. Together with the outstanding global partners, YIZUMI-HPM Corporation aims to deliver a solution for the lightweight plastic parts.”

According to reliable sources, FoamPro’s partners have gathered 6 renowned companies, namely Germany’s GK Concept, U.S.’s Trexel, Belgium’s Weimat, Italy’s HRSflow, Germany’s SINGLE and Netherlands’s lyondelbasell.

Moreover, the A5-N series will be equipped with the Linde Group’s gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) process that controls the flow of molten materials, increases the precision of molded parts, reduces the consumption of raw materials as well as shortens the cooling and circulation period.

Expected Rapid Business Growth in the U.S. This Year

After the acquisition of HPM, Yizumi has been full of confidence in the North American market. It has since been sustainably increasing its investment in the North American market. Last year, the new factory of YIZUMI-HPM Corporation located in Morrow County, Ohio officially began its operation. Garnering positive market performance, its revenue surged 114% year-over-year.

This year, with the huge encouragement of the U.S. government to lure its manufacturing companies back to its shore and coupled with the recent enacted corporate tax reduction, James Zhang believes that the U.S. manufacturing industry is heralding a rapid development phase, with the downstream customers increasing equipment to expand the production capability and the surging proportion of renewal of old equipment. This is undoubtedly good news for YIZUMI-HPM.

According to James Zhang, YIZUMI-HPM will fully leverage on the new factories invested in 2017 in the year 2018. It will comprehensively import the new products like the DP-N series, A5-N series and so on, expanding the inventories of the whole machines and their spare parts, and shorten the delivery schedules to the largest extent. At the same time, it will also reinforce the setting up of the marketing service system, and sustainably invest more resources in the marketing system. Yizumi’s Overseas Business Center will also dispatch sales engineers to be based long-term in North America.

To expand the markets and deliver technical support for YIZUMI-HPM, it is expected that the sales in the U.S. market will maintain a relatively rapid growth rate in 2018

Scientific Periodicals:

(1)FoamPro, a microcellular foam technology, is based on the insightful development of MuCell technology. It integrates the SmartClamp mold-locking system, the aeronautical grade aluminum alloy mold technology, ATT technology, FLEXflow servo-driven hot runner system, etc. On top of achieving a 20% reduction in part weight, it can also shorten the molding cycle by 30% and lower the clamping force by 50%. Besides, it is a significant boost for superb cosmetic surface finishes. It can also bolster various value-added qualities such as the reduction of warping and shrinkage.

(2)Gas-assisted injection molding technology, GAIM in short, leverages on the pressurized inert gas to produce an insulating interface in the interior of a mold. The pressurized gas pushes the molten resin to complete the filling process, achieving a constant, evenly transmitted gas pressure, a one-time molding of parts with uneven wall thickness as well as eliminating the molding defects of the finished products. This is a new plastics molding technology that has only reached the application phase by the developed countries in the 90s of the 20th century.
