Bocreate: Breakthroughs in Energy Efficiency and Precision Define a New Benchmark for Domestic High-End Products

In recent years, with the continuous expansion of new material applications and the rapid development of the medical and healthcare industry, injection molding machines have played an increasingly important role in the manufacturing of high-precision medical devices.

From atomizers and petri dishes to prosthetics, implants, and even surgical interventional materials and stents, there is an increasing reliance on high-precision, high-efficiency injection molding solutions.Huang Ji, R&D Project Manager of Bochuang Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., stated that against this backdrop, the company is steadily advancing the innovation and industrialization of domestically produced high-end injection molding equipment, leveraging its independently developed core technologies and deep industry expertise.

"After the pandemic, the regular stocking of medical protective materials and common medical equipment has been increasingly emphasized, driving the demand for high-performance injection molding equipment in the entire industry. Especially in medical application scenarios requiring high cleanliness and high precision, traditional hydraulic injection molding machines can no longer fully meet the production requirements. Therefore, we have launched the BD Super Electric Injection Molding Machine," Huang Ji introduced. This model excels in several key metrics such as energy consumption, precision, and noise control. "According to authoritative testing by the Guangdong Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute, its specific energy consumption is only between 0.24 and 0.3 kW•h/kg, which is far superior to the national first-level energy efficiency standard, with energy-saving effects of up to 80%."

In addition to excellent energy efficiency, the BD Super Electric Injection Molding Machine has also achieved significant breakthroughs in technical precision. Its positioning accuracy is less than 0.02mm, ten times higher than that of traditional hydraulic machines. The super electric injection molding machine features pressure closed-loop control, with a high-precision pressure sensor installed at the screw, maintaining pressure fluctuations below 0.25MPa. This greatly improves product molding consistency and stability. Meanwhile, the operating noise of the equipment is controlled below 60 decibels, significantly enhancing the production environment, making it especially suitable for medical workshops with stringent requirements for cleanliness and quietness.

In terms of technical approach, international brands such as Japan's FANUC and Germany's Arburg typically adopt belt-driven solutions, while Bochuang employs independently developed direct drive electric technology. This technology connects the screw directly to the motor, eliminating intermediate transmission components such as belts and gears, thereby increasing transmission efficiency to 99.99%. Currently, Bochuang has obtained national patents for this direct drive technology, successfully breaking the technological monopoly of foreign manufacturers in the mid-to-high-end electric injection molding field.

In addition to striving for excellence in product performance, Borch also places great emphasis on after-sales service and customer experience. “Borch promises to have technical personnel on-site within 24 hours, responding quickly to customer needs and providing a full chain of localized support from production management to equipment maintenance,” said Huang Ji. Furthermore, through the “Zhonghe Injection Molding Cloud” industrial internet platform, Borch helps customers achieve real-time monitoring of production data and remote equipment operation and maintenance, effectively advancing the intelligence and automation of workshops and further improving production efficiency and cleanliness levels.

In response to the growing demand for special materials in the medical industry, Borch is actively advancing in the field of new material technologies. Taking high-performance engineering plastic PEEK as an example—which is widely used in human implants and precision medical devices—it places extremely high requirements on the temperature control, corrosion resistance, and pressure stability of injection molding equipment. To address this, Borch has independently developed high heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant barrel assemblies, and continues to increase its R&D investment in new material technologies to better serve high-end medical clients.

In terms of market size, the Borch BD super electric injection molding machines have maintained double-digit growth in recent years, and it is expected that this year they will account for more than 25% of the company's total sales of primary machines. "Currently, this series has achieved mass production across multiple specifications ranging from 60 tons to 460 tons, covering most of the production needs for medical consumables and devices. As for the development of larger tonnage electric injection molding machines in the future, Borch has also set a clear plan. Larger tonnage equipment demands higher requirements for motor output torque, drive systems, and overall machine rigidity. The company is leveraging its subsidiary motor company (Guangzhou Bojie Motor Co., Ltd.) to strengthen key technological breakthroughs and will gradually launch large-tonnage electric injection molding models that meet market demands," introduced Huang Ji.

Through continuous technological innovation and service optimization, Borch has not only achieved a significant breakthrough in domestic substitution in the field of electric injection molding but also provides highly reliable and efficient overall solutions for strategic industries such as healthcare and new materials.
