Wilmington, NC — Wilmington Machinery, a leader in the design and manufacture of large structural foam machines, is streamlining delivery times for its Low-Pressure Structural Foam machines. While typical lead times for these large machines can range from 9 to 15 months, Wilmington has significantly reduced this wait with in-stock and nearly completed machines available for quick delivery.
Currently available is a 500-ton Low Pressure Structural Foam machine featuring a 50lb shot and a spacious 70" x 80" platen. This machine is ready for shipment within 3-4 weeks of purchase order receipt. In addition, Wilmington is building another 500-ton machine, this one with a larger 100lb shot capacity and an even bigger 96" x 90" platen, which will be available for delivery by May 2025.
Both machines are versatile and can be customized with options such as robotic part removal, gas assist controls, and core pull manifolds, allowing for a tailored solution to fit various production needs.
"By having machines in stock and under construction, we can offer manufacturers a faster path to upgrading their production capabilities," said Jim Boos, VP of Sales & Marketing of Wilmington Machinery. "These machines deliver superior structural foam molding capabilities, and with quick delivery options, we're supporting customers in reducing lead times and getting to market faster."

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.
