1./ Why is lifting or relocating a plastic injection machine a major challenge?

Survey for relocating the Selex plastic injection molding machine with a clamping force of 170 tons in Viet Nam

2.1. Survey the installation location of the plastic injection molding machine and develop a detailed plan

Before starting any activities, the technical team will conduct a survey:

• Assess the size and weight of the plastic injection molding machine (typically from 10-20 tons, while machines with a clamping force of 500 to 800 tons can weigh up to 70 tons)
• Survey the pathway from the container to the installation location
• Check the condition of the workshop floor and working space
• Identify safe lifting points on the machine

Based on the survey results, we will develop a detailed relocation plan, calculate lifting forces, necessary equipment, and arrange suitable personnel.

2.2. Prepare the site and equipment

The preparation phase includes:

• Arrange a safe working area, isolated from other production activities
• Install a temporary floor on slopes, rails if necessary
• Reinforce the floor if it cannot support the load with steel plates of 15-20mm thickness
• Prepare specialized equipment such as:
• Heavy-duty forklifts (5-15 tons depending on the weight of the machine)
• Electric trolley
• Jack, machine moving trolley
• High-precision leveling equipment

2.3. Lift and remove the plastic injection molding machine from the container

Loading - Unloading plastic injection machine container

This is a process that requires high technical skills and practical experience:

• The technical team will secure the machine with specialized lifting straps at safe lifting points
• Use a forklift/crane with appropriate load capacity to slowly lift and pull the plastic injection machine out of the container
• Control the movement speed slowly and evenly to avoid shaking and colliding with the container walls
• Use special pads at the contact points with the ground to avoid scratching the powder-coated surface

2.4. Moving the machine to its position in the workshop

This process requires coordinated effort:

• Using a forklift or electric turtle system to move the plastic injection molding machine into position
• Maintaining stability, avoiding tilting during movement
• Safely overcoming obstacles and corners with specialized equipment
• Not damaging the workshop floor or existing structures

2.5. Positioning and leveling the plastic injection molding machine at the installation site

The final stage, but no less important:

• Place the machine accurately according to the technical drawing, ensuring the distance from other equipment
• Use laser measuring equipment to align, ensuring the flatness and balance of the machine
• Install the anti-vibration system (if applicable to the machine)
• Tighten the anchor bolts, check the stability

3./ The challenges and risks when relocating the injection molding machine

Difficulties in moving plastic injection molding machines uphill

• Technical challenges

1. Massive weight: Plastic injection molding machines weigh between 5 tons and 80 tons, requiring specialized lifting equipment
2. Complex structure: Plastic injection molding machines often have intricate structures that can be easily damaged by impacts or strong vibrations
3. High precision requirements: After relocation, the machine must be positioned with high accuracy to ensure effective operation

• Risks of unprofessional execution

1. Equipment damage: Repair or replacement costs for plastic injection molding machine components can reach hundreds of millions of VND
2. Work accidents: Risk of machine tipping over or trapping people without proper experience and equipment
3. Damage to infrastructure: The factory floor can crack or break if the load is not calculated correctly
4. Extended production interruptions: Each day of halted production can cause losses of hundreds of millions of VND
