The cost of a vertical two-color injection molding machine depends on the specified configuration and delivery scope. A usable budget starts with a project quotation that separates the press, tooling and the equipment required to run the cell.
Price the Machine Configuration
Confirm the clamp size, mold fit, injection units, shot requirements and table or transfer arrangement. Ask which controls, protective devices, feeders, temperature-control units and handling equipment are included.
Compare the Delivered Scope
Separate mold design and trials, packaging, freight, installation, commissioning, training and spare parts. Compare currency, delivery terms and warranty coverage on the same basis. For operating cost, use documented labor, material, maintenance and accepted-output assumptions.
Prepare the Quotation Inputs
- Part and mold drawings, dimensions and cavity count.
- Material grades, shot weights including runners, and the required sequence.
- Target accepted output, inspection criteria and automation requirements.
- Installation destination, utilities and the requested service scope.
Use the purchase review checklist to compare supplier responses.
