Injection Moulding Machine for UPS Housings
UPS housings are produced on large horizontal injection moulding machines, using FR ABS, PC/ABS or FR PP. The housing footprint and long unsupported side spans set clamp size and mould size. Rib layout matters most, because ribs stiffen the spans without the thick walls that leave sink marks on the show face.
For a UPS housing, machine selection weighs the largest panel against tonnage and platen size, then the cosmetic finish needed on the front. Pratishna Engineers supplies horizontal injection moulding machines for UPS housing moulding and can recommend a setup for your housing.

Machine Requirements for UPS Housing Moulding
A UPS housing carries batteries and power electronics behind a visible front, so the machine must handle:
- Clamp tonnage matched to housing side panel area
- Ribbed spans moulded without sink on the front
- Flame-rated grades kept short in the barrel
- Consistent gloss or texture across bezel and covers
- Stiff battery shelf and mounting bosses near hot parts
- Platen size for wide housing and bezel moulds
Recommended Machine for UPS Housings
Compact desktop UPS housings, front bezels and battery covers can run on the C Series (140-320 T). Mid-size housings that need more clamp and platen space suit the H Series (120-350 T). Tower and rack housings beyond those sizes are reviewed with the mould and projected area on request.

FAQs / Buyer Questions
The moulding questions UPS makers ask most.
Which Injection Moulding Machine Is Used to Make UPS Housings?
Desktop housings and bezels fit the C Series, and mid-size housings the H Series. Larger tower units often need more tonnage than either series, so those are checked against the mould first.Why Do UPS Housings Show Sink Marks on the Front?
Sink forms where ribs or bosses are too thick against the outer wall. Ribs thinner than the wall, cored-out bosses and correct holding pressure prevent it, and texture hides minor marks.Is a Flame-Rated Grade Needed for a UPS Housing?
Yes, around the battery and power electronics. FR ABS, PC/ABS and FR PP are used, and the rating holds only at the wall thickness the grade was tested at.
Can the Front Bezel and Body Be Moulded in Different Colours?
Yes, they are separate moulds. Colour and gloss matching between bezel, body and covers needs the same grade, controlled masterbatch ratio and similar mould temperatures.Can Pratishna Recommend a Machine for My UPS Housing?
Yes. Share the housing and bezel drawings, material, part weights, mould dimensions and production quantity, and Pratishna Engineers will recommend a machine or advise on larger sizes.Does the Machine Suit Other Electrical and Electronics Parts Too?
Yes. Similar machines can mould inverter bodies, stabiliser housings, router housings and set-top box housings, subject to the specific mould.
