Woojin Plaimm has partnered with a local forestry cooperative and a domestic CXP developer to advance sustainable material processing. The collaboration focuses on developing and supplying dedicated injection moulding systems specifically optimised for cross-linked xylose polymer (CXP), addressing challenges such as carbonisation at relatively low melting points.
The partnership unites critical players across the value chain. The forestry cooperative supplies biomass by-products, the CXP developer conducts material R&D, and Woojin Plaimm manufactures custom injection moulding machines tailored for CXP processing. Central to this effort is the DL-G5, a two-platen direct pressure machine designed to minimise frictional heat and optimise low-temperature melt flow, significantly reducing carbonisation risks and gas emissions during moulding.
The DL-G5 integrates advanced features such as a servo pump system for energy efficiency, a fast dry cycle, and half-nut synchronous locking for precision. Other innovations include a modular multilingual controller, an integrated inverter cabinet, ball-bearing linear guides, high-rigidity dual-axis rods, and closed-loop backpressure control.
WOOJIN PLAIMM is actively preparing to expand its CXP moulding solutions globally. Its Chennai and Anantapur branches in India will serve as key contact points for future inquiries and regional support.
