Throughout its journey, what kind of development path has Haitan undergone in the injection molding field, and by relying on what has it continuously improved step by step to ultimately stand at the pinnacle of the industry?

• Half a century of refinement, five generations of injection molding technology pioneering new paths

Founded in Ningbo in 1966, Haitian Group has developed over more than 50 years into a large multinational company with total assets exceeding 10 billion yuan. The group includes two listed companies (Haitian International Holdings Limited and Ningbo Haitian Precision Machinery Co., Ltd.), as well as six major manufacturing enterprises such as Haitian Drive, Haitian Metal, Haitian Smart Technology, and Haitian Optics, along with over 80 subsidiary companies both domestically and internationally. Among them, Haitian International Holdings Limited, which focuses on the injection molding machine sector, achieved a total revenue of 16.1 billion RMB in 2024 and has supplied over 53,000 injection molding machines to the market, with approximately 37.3% of its products exported to more than 130 countries and regions.

As an injection molding machine brand under Haitian International that focuses on servo-hydraulic applications, Haitian Plastics Machinery always concentrates on the core needs of users, building competitive barriers for customers with iterative and innovative servo-hydraulic technology.

Haitian's technology iterations have undergone multiple rounds of upgrades: In 2006, the J5 servo energy-saving injection molding machine set an energy-saving technology benchmark with a reduction in energy consumption of over 50%; in 2012, the second-generation servo power technology further improved performance and energy efficiency through a customized servo system; in 2017-2018, the third-generation machines achieved full digital control, paving the way for intelligent functions with a 20% improvement in precision and operating cycle.

At the 2023 CHINAPLAS exhibition, the fifth-generation servo power technology achieved a qualitative leap: the overall energy consumption was reduced by 20-40% compared to the previous generation. More importantly, it integrated multiple intelligent functions—from fully closed-loop injection control and intelligent energy management to self-diagnostic systems—realizing a breakthrough from "efficient operation" to "autonomous decision-making." This upgrade not only consolidates Haitian Plastics Machinery's advantages in the energy-saving field but also, with its intelligent core technologies, propels it into the leading global ranks of smart injection molding machines.

II. Dual Star Products: JUPITERWith MARS Run neck and neck

Relying on continuously evolving core injection molding technology, Haitian injects innovative genes into each product, especially the injection molding machines represented by the "JUPITER Series Two-Platen Injection Molding Machine" and the "MARS Fifth Generation Servo Energy-Saving Injection Molding Machine," which have redefined the performance boundaries of injection molding machines.

1. MARSFifth Generation Series: Servo Energy-Saving General-Purpose Injection Molding Machine

The MARS series contributes to the main revenue of Haitian Plastics Machinery. This series covers all scenario needs with a clamping force ranging from 600 to 33,000 kN. The entire series has advanced breakthroughs in performance, optimizing and enhancing everything from the injection component to the plasticizing component and clamping structure. It is equipped with multiple intelligent functions, improving efficiency while fully meeting customers' requirements for personalized and flexible production. The newly upgraded electric pre-plasticizing device, combined with the latest energy-saving and information technologies, makes the injection molding process more energy-efficient (saving 20-40% energy) and more efficient, creating a new intelligent injection molding ecosystem.

2、JUPITERSeries: Large tonnage two-platen machine "All-rounder

The injection molding machine industry is undergoing profound technological changes, with the electrification of small machines and the two-platen technology for large machines becoming one of the most significant development trends.

The JUⅢ series from Haitian Plastics Machinery is an outstanding representative in the two-platen machine field. This series covers a clamping force range of 4,500-66,000 kN and is specifically designed for medium to large products in the automotive, home appliance, and logistics sectors. Its core technological highlights include:

High-efficiency servo hydraulic systemThrough the "MOTION+" digital platform, we have integrated mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and software technologies to achieve improved motion performance of injection molding machines, refined execution of the injection molding process, and efficient management of injection production and equipment operation.

Modular designSupports multiple optional features from mold protection to ejection devices to meet the customization needs of complex products such as waste sorting bins and logistics pallets. The Ningbo production base has an annual capacity of over 2,000 units and can manufacture models with a maximum capacity of 88,000 kN.

Global applicationsIn emerging markets such as Vietnam, India, and Mexico, the JUPITER series has become the preferred equipment for home appliance and automotive parts manufacturers due to its suitability for products with thin walls and short cooling times.

The success of Haitian Plastics Machinery stems from a deep understanding of technology, products, and customers. It has transformed into a comprehensive solution provider through technological iterations, building market resilience through globalization and localization. As Zhang Bin, Executive Director of Haitian International, stated: "Future competition is not only about products but also about the competition of ecosystems and sustainability capabilities."
