They have a wider clamping force range (up to 100-6000 tons or more), a larger mold mounting area (tie rod spacing), and can accommodate large molds. They are suitable for producing large parts such as car bumpers, appliance housings, and turnover boxes, and can handle products with high injection volumes.
Horizontal machines typically have shorter cycle times in scenarios where inserts are not required or are highly automated.
For example, to produce the same plastic cup, a horizontal machine might only need 8 seconds, while a vertical machine would require 12 seconds (approximately 30% faster), making it easier to achieve high-speed, continuous, high-volume production.
