How Long Does an Injection Molding Machine Last?

How Long Does an Injection molding machine Last?

On average, a well-maintained injection molding machine can last between 15 to 20 years, depending on several factors, including the volume of production it’s subjected to and the level of maintenance it receives.

• Low Volume Production: Machines used in low volume production tend to have a longer lifespan. The less frequent use reduces wear and tear on components, contributing to extended service life. For example, a machine used to produce specialized, low-demand products may operate well beyond the 20-year mark with proper care.
• High Volume Production: Conversely, machines utilized in high volume production environments are under constant stress, which can accelerate wear on mechanical parts and the hydraulic system. Such machines might require more frequent maintenance or replacement parts to sustain optimal performance over their lifespan. A machine in a high-volume facility, producing millions of parts per year, might still reach or exceed the 15-year average, but with more intensive upkeep.
