If you’re manufacturing large plastic parts or using multi-cavity moulds, you need a machine that can deliver high clamping force, rigid performance, and optimized space use. As a leading two-platen injection moulding machine manufacturer in India, Pratishna Engineers offers the PHM Series — engineered for large-format moulding with servo-hydraulic precision and reduced machine footprint.
What is a Two-Platen Injection Moulding Machine?
A two-platen injection moulding machine uses two platens instead of four-toggle link systems. This allows for a longer opening stroke, greater mold thickness range, and compact footprint, ideal for moulding large parts or deep-cavity components.
Why Two-Platen Machines Matter in Indian Industrial Manufacturing
With industries demanding:
- 🚗 Automotive bumpers, dashboards, toolboxes
- 🧴 Large-capacity containers, storage bins
- 📦 Industrial crates, pallets, and cases
- 💺 Furniture-grade chairs, frames
- 🛠️ Heavy-wall technical parts
…the need for high-tonnage, space-efficient, low-maintenance machines is growing.
Traditional toggle systems often struggle with large moulds, while two-platen systems offer rigid clamping, low friction, and better part quality at scale.
Common Buyer Concerns & Market Trends in 2025
Key Buyer Questions:
- “What’s the tonnage range for two-platen machines?”
- “How much floor space can I save vs toggle machines?”
- “Is the machine servo-controlled?”
- “Are these available in India with local support?”
2025 Trends:
- 📏 Growth in demand for 500–1000 tonnage class machines
- 🔋 Servo-hydraulic technology for energy efficiency
- 🏭 Preference for compact layout in high-cost factory spaces
- 🌍 Exporters demanding CE-compliant high-tonnage systems
➡️ In the next section, we’ll explore how Pratishna’s PHM Series two-platen machines solve these challenges for Indian and international buyers.

Case Study – Automotive Supplier, Pune Industrial Belt
A Tier-2 auto component supplier in Chakan MIDC required:
- A 1000-ton servo-hydraulic machine
- High repeatability for bumper moulds
- Floor space restriction due to plant layout
Our PHM 1000 model was delivered with:
- Servo clamping + injection
- CE certification for export quality compliance
- Robotic arm-ready configuration
Result:
- 27% reduction in defect rate
- 35% less floor space used than toggle type
- ROI recovered in just 15 months due to energy + output gains
Two-Platen vs Toggle Injection Moulding Machines
| Feature | Two-Platen | Toggle System |
|---|---|---|
| Clamping Rigidity | Very high | Moderate |
| Mould Size Support | Larger | Limited by toggle link geometry |
| Opening Stroke | Longer | Shorter |
| Maintenance | Lower | Higher (toggle wear & lubrication) |
| Machine Footprint | Compact | Larger for same tonnage |
| Energy Efficiency | Higher with servo | Lower |
🧭 Tip:
Choose two-platen systems if your production involves large/deep moulds, heavy-duty cycles, or tight floor layouts.

Buyer Tip – How to Select the Right Two-Platen Machine
Choosing the right model goes beyond tonnage. Here’s what to consider:
- ✅ Mould Size & Weight: Make sure your mould fits tie-bar spacing and max daylight
- ✅ Clamping Force: Match the pressure requirement for multi-cavity or large parts
- ✅ Injection Volume: Ensure shot size suits your part weight
- ✅ Cycle Time Goals: Go for servo drives if speed & efficiency matter
- ✅ Factory Space: Two-platen = compact, but plan utility layout carefully
