Changzhou Nanyuan Plastic Co., Ltd., founded in 1991, covers an area of 48,000 square meters. It is a private enterprise specializing in the production and sales of plastic cap products, as well as the design and manufacture of plastic cap molds and blow mold barrels. Nanyuan serves multiple sectors including petrochemicals, food and beverages, and medical industries.

With its keen market insight and continuous innovation, Nanyuan Plastics has successfully set a benchmark in the plastic cap industry. Recently, we had the privilege to visit this industry-leading company to discuss the development trends of the plastic cap industry and engage in an in-depth exchange on cutting-edge injection molding technologies.

1. From Hydraulic to Electric

Nanyuan Plastic has maintained a long-standing collaboration with Haitian, using Haitian injection molding machines as their primary production equipment since the company’s inception. In 2012, Nanyuan expanded into the beverage, food, and medical industries, which have higher requirements for product cleanliness, weight, and quality. As their business grew and market demands evolved, Nanyuan sought more efficient and precise solutions.

At this point, Nanyuan discovered Zhafir electric injection molding machines from Haitian International. Nanyuan quickly favored Zhafir machines for their efficiency, stability, and cleanliness.

Currently, Nanyuan operates more than 120 injection molding machines, with 70 of them being Zhafir electric machines. The company is increasingly shifting its production towards electric machines. This decision reflects Nanyuan’s commitment to the „quality first“ principle and demonstrates their profound insight and foresight in embracing technological trends.

Mr. Xu Chao, General Manager of Nanyuan, sharedthat using Zhafir electric machines has reduced theproduction cycle by about 20%-25% and signifi.cantly improved the cleanliness of both the production environment and the final products. This im.provement is particularly crucial for industries suchas food and beverage and medical, which have strin.gent cleanliness requirements.

For example,in the production of hyaluronic aciddrinking water bottle caps, oil stains are a major con.cern for customers. After upgrading to Zhafir electricmachines, not only has the production cycle beensignificantly shortened and efficiency improved, butthe higher cleanliness of the electric machines alsoeffectively controls the problem ofimpurities and oistains. This meets the high cleanliness standards ofthe food and beverage industry and ensures productquality.

2. A Win-Win of Greenness & Products

Driven by the „dual carbon“ goals and domestic environmental policies, the packaging industry is trending towards thinner and lighter products. As product weight decreases, the requirements for injection molding machine stability and injection speed increase.

The stability and injection speed of Zhafir electric machines enable Nanyuan to easily meet these challenges. This results in lighter products, significant reductions in production cycle time, increased yield, reduced resource waste, and compliance with environmental regulations, achieving a win-win for both product upgrades and environmental protection.

3. Intelligent Upgrade & New Production

Additionally, Nanyuan has adopted the „Go Factory Pro“ intelligent operation system from Haitian Smart Solutions, integrating intelligence into every production stage. Through Haitian Smart Solutions‘ intelligent scheduling and real-time monitoring functions, Nanyuan can more accurately track production progress and product quality. This system ensures stable pressure and temperature during normal operation and allows for timely detection and resolution of production issues through data analysis. As a result, product stability and yield are effectively improved, bringing significant benefits to the company and raising product quality to a new level.

Over the years, Nanyuan Plastics has become aleader in the plastic cap manufacturing field, drivenby its persistent pursuit of quality and forward-looking technological vision. lts advanced productionmodel and excellent product quality have garneredwidespread acclaim within the industry.

Looking ahead, Haitian and Zhafir will continue toprovide Nanyuan with cutting-edge technical sup.port.Together,we are committed to technological in.novation and industrial upgrading, exploring moreintelligent and sustainable production models, anddriving the plastic cap manufacturing industry to newheights.
