Injection Moulding Machine for Cable Ties, Clips and Saddles
Cable ties, nail clips and pipe saddles are moulded on horizontal injection moulding machines using multi-cavity tools, with PA66 nylon for ties and PP for many clips and saddles. Mould length, cavity count and the projected area of parts and runner decide machine size. Filling the thin tail of a long tie without short shots needs fast injection.
Machine selection for ties and clips turns on injection speed, platen size for long tie moulds and a clamp that keeps the pawl and teeth free of flash. Pratishna Engineers supplies horizontal injection moulding machines for tie, clip and saddle moulding and can recommend a configuration for your range.

Machine Requirements for Cable Tie, Clip and Saddle Moulding
Ties, clips and saddles for site wiring and pipe runs are thin parts that must lock and hold. Points to check when choosing a machine:
- Fast injection to fill long, thin tie straps
- Platen and tie-bar room for long tie moulds
- Dryer so PA66 granules reach the barrel dry
- Sharp, flash-free pawl and ratchet teeth on every tie
- Tight pockets that hold steel nails in nail clips
- UV-stabilised black grades for outdoor and rooftop runs
Recommended Machine for Cable Ties, Clips and Saddles
Short ties, nail clips and pipe saddles are small parts that the E Series (75-180 T) can run in multi-cavity moulds. Long ties need a wide mould with the strap laid out flat, and that often calls for the platen size and tie-bar spacing of the H Series (120-350 T), even when tonnage is moderate.

FAQs / Buyer Questions
What tie and clip makers usually ask when sizing a machine.
Which Injection Moulding Machine Is Used to Make Cable Ties and Clips?
Horizontal machines in two size bands. Clips, saddles and short ties fit the E Series, while long ties or moulds with many long cavities move to the H Series for mould width and platen space.Why Are Cable Ties Moulded in PA66?
PA66 has the tensile strength to hold a load and enough flex for the strap to bend through the head without cracking. PP is used for some clips and saddles that only have to hold a cable or pipe in place.Why Do Moulded Nylon Ties Need Conditioning?
Dry-as-moulded PA66 is stiff and can snap when bent. Ties are often left to absorb moisture after moulding and packed to hold it, so the strap stays flexible when it is used on site.
How Are Short Shots at the Tie Tail Avoided?
Melt cools as it travels down the long, thin strap. Gating at the head, fast injection, correct melt and mould temperature and good venting at the tail end fill the strap fully in every cavity.Can Pratishna Recommend a Machine for My Cable Tie or Clip?
Yes. Share the tie length and width, clip or saddle drawing, material, part weight, cavities, mould size and monthly quantity, and Pratishna Engineers will recommend a suitable machine.Does the Machine Suit Other Wiring and Fixing Parts Too?
Yes. Similar machines can mould wall plugs, tile spacers, electrical conduit fittings and wall switch boxes, once the mould and material have been checked.
