Used Transfer Molding in Mexico

Overview

Transfer molding machines force measured batches of rubber, silicone or thermoset compound into closed molds via a plunger or piston. They’re ideal for medium‑volume production of complex rubber parts, encapsulation, and insert molding where precise material placement and consistent cure are required. Machines vary by shot size, clamp force, heating zones and automation level, and are common in automotive, electrical and sealing component production.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used transfer molding machine?

Check shot capacity, clamp force, platen condition, hydraulic and heating systems, control panel functionality, mold alignment, cycle repeatability and maintenance records. Verify spare parts availability and check for signs of overheating, leaks or electrical issues.

How do I arrange safe shipping for a transfer molder?

Use professional riggers and freight carriers experienced with press equipment. Prepare detailed weight and lift‑point info, secure or remove molds and heaters, drain fluids if required, crate delicate controls, and confirm insurance and any transport permits.

What maintenance keeps a transfer molder reliable?

Follow OEM schedules: check hydraulic fluid and seals, maintain heaters and thermocouples, inspect plungers and mold faces, clean vents and ejectors, calibrate controls, and replace worn seals or valves. Regular preventive servicing preserves cycle accuracy and extends machine life.
