Wilmington Machinery's Lowest Cost Pallet Molding Machine
Wilmington Machinery announces its' new low-pressure plastic pallet injection molding machine called the LUMINA Pallateer Model PM-1C. Like its' predecessors, the new machine accepts 100% recycled plastics even in flake form. This is necessary to produce the lowest cost plastic pallets.

The PM-1C machine comes standard with a 350 ton press capable of molding pallets up to 48" x 52" size weighting up to 40 pounds. It has a HDPE melting capacity of 1200 pounds per hour sufficient to produce 30 pallets per hour. Hot runner molds, robots and other accessories are available from Wilmington including training and ongoing service.
The machine boasts a small footprint, low energy consumption, and highest quality construction. It has a two-stage injection unit (extruder/accumulator) furnished with bimetallic barrels and long-life feed screws. Controlled by a Beckhoff PLC and actuated by Rexroth hydraulic components it is a hybrid machine. A classic structural foam multi-nozzle injection manifold is an available option.
Believed to be the lowest cost US made machine of its' type it is positioned to compete well from a price standpoint with Asian built injection machines of comparable capacity. It more than competes with such machines from a pallet cost standpoint and produces an excellent ROI for both contract molders or captive molders.
Wilmington Machinery has built pallet molding machinery and integrated molding systems for over 45 years. The new PM-1C joins the Wilmington lineup of both horizontal and vertical machines with press capacities to 2500 tons, injection capacities to 300 pounds and melting capacities to 6,000 pounds per hour. It is located in a modern 65,000sf plant in the port city of Wilmington, North Carolina. Learn more: http://www.wilmingtonmachinery.com/

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
