    TUP Empowering Customers to Embrace the ''Plastic Instead of Steel''Trend


    How to Reduce Production Costs? How to Simplify Complexity into One-Step Molding? How to Balance Efficiency and Quality?


    See how TUP Plastics unlocks more diverse interior production possibilities for the home appliance industry and empowers customers' upgrading and transformation.


    Helping Customers Enhance Market Competitiveness


    Through pre-research and inspection, TUP Plastics identified the "Plastic Substitution for Steel" solution, which is highly suitable for the product upgrading and transformation of Dezhou's home appliance equipment production. Starting from customers' actual applications, TUP's UN special injection molding machines for home appliances adhere to the production requirements of reliability, stability and high efficiency, and optimize details and adaptability to the extreme.


    By providing efficient and stable UN series special injection molding machines for home appliances, a complete set of solutions + workshop centralized feeding automatic assembly line design, and simplifying more than a dozen processes, it helps customers improve efficiency by 100%.

    At the customer site, TUP' UN260-400T equipment is mainly used to produce centrifugal fan impellers and volutes of central air conditioners.

    Key features:

    • High-rigidity platen structure ensures stable operation and effectively guarantees product quality. The moving platen adopts front-mounted heavy-duty support sliding feet, with platen parallelism < 0.2mm, enabling smooth operation even for heavy-duty molds.

    • High-response servo power system shortens the overall dry cycle time by more than 5%.

    • Modular design with more specifications available, providing professional complete set solutions.


    Highlights of "Plastic Substitution for Steel" Process


    As the appearance of home appliances becomes more diverse and artistic, there are higher requirements for special-effect plastics. TUP replaces metal materials with high-performance engineering plastics through new materials, new designs and new processes while ensuring product performance.

    Weight advantage: The biggest advantage of plastic is weight reduction. Compared with metal materials, plastic has a lighter specific gravity, making it the preferred material for lightweight home appliances.


    Molding advantage: Plastic is easy to form with short processing time and high precision, facilitating the processing of more complex components. In contrast, steel structures require separate connection, assembly or welding, involving many processes.


    Corrosion resistance advantage: Plastic has strong corrosion resistance and will not corrode even if locally damaged, while steel is prone to rust once the paint surface is damaged or anti-corrosion treatment is poor.


    Plasticity advantage: Plastics can be made to meet required properties by adding different fillers, plasticizers and hardeners according to components. The mechanical strength and processing formability of modified plastics adapt to the usage requirements of different components.


    TUP Plastics — Shaping the Future


    The "Plastic Substitution for Steel" as a new production method has been gradually widely applied, showing broad application prospects in many fields such as automobiles, communications, medical care, electronics and electricals, rail transit, precision instruments, home building materials, aerospace and more.


    As the market changes rapidly, improving one's own advantages to meet new production requirements has always been what TUP Plastics insists on delivering to customers. In the future, TUP will continue to innovate, bringing more application opportunities for "Plastic Substitution for Steel", "Plastic Substitution for Wood", lightweight, automation and circular economy in various industries.
