Why Bigmate Chose the FNX Hydraulic Model Over the NEX Electrical System
In plastic injection molding, choosing the right machine is crucial as it affects product quality, cost, and production efficiency. Many manufacturers face the decision between hydraulic and all-electric systems. At Bigmate Philippines, we compared the FNX Series (Hydraulic) and the NEX Series (All-Electric) and chose the FNX hydraulic model for its performance, stability, and ability to meet client needs.
Hydraulic vs Electric? What is the difference?
Hydraulic Machines (FNX Series)
- Driven by hydraulic pumps and cylinders
- Known for durability, high pressure, steady performance, and intense applications
All electric machines (NEX Series)
- Powered by electric motors
- Popular for quick cycle times, high accuracy, and energy efficiency.
Key Factors We Considered
- Durability and Stability
- Hydraulic (FNX): Designed to withstand extended periods of continuous molding, especially on thicker pieces with constant pressure.
- Electric (ENX): Built for accuracy but more subtle under intense operations.
- Cost Efficiency
- Hydraulic (FNX): In the Philippines, maintenance is much simpler and requires less investment.
- Electric (ENX): Much higher cost and longer ROI but more energy efficient.
- Precision and Flexibility
- Hydraulic (FNX): Hybrid mechanisms that combine power and precision are integrated into modern designs.
- Electric (ENX): Efficient in applications that require high accuracy, including micro or thin-walled components.
- Maintenance and Service availability
- Hydraulic (FNX): Spare parts and expertise are much more accessible since it is widely supported locally
- Electric (ENX): Larger expenses and greater downtime since it requires specialized service.
Why Bigmate Chose the FNX Hydraulic Series?
After careful evaluation, testing, and consideration of both machines, we found that FNX Hydraulic Injection Machine is what suits best when it comes to fulfilling our client needs:
- Dependable results for large productions
- Without sacrificing quality, it is the most cost-effective
- It has faster technical support and easier maintenance in the Philippines
Final Insight: It’s About Matching Technology to Needs
The industry’s backbone is still hydraulics even though all electric machines are outstanding iin specialized extremely accurate applications. This is especially true for producers who must balance reliability, volume, and cost.
Our choice to utilize the FNX Hydraulic Model at Bigmate Philippines guarantees that each customer will receive a solution that is customized to meet their needs, consistent quality, and efficient production.
