Tarapath Kappa 1000 moulding unit

The Kappa 1000 is a horizontal-injection, single-station machine featuring a four-post die set for larger parts. A separate high-volume melt tank enables easy access and interchangeability.

Dual palm buttons and light curtains are employed for operator safety and the large PLC interface ensures easy operation. Precise temperature control is achieved with three thermal control zones, while a large clamping stroke gives the operator easy access for loading and unloading parts. An additional cylinder can be added to increase the clamping force to 10 tonnes for even larger parts or more cavities.

The unit also features a 7″ touch screen operator interface with a multi-language PLC; and a mechanical ejection system and control for pneumatic ejection. Critical components (gear pump, valve and nozzle) are made overseas.
