Which Niigata Machines Use the 35mm Screw?


The 35mm Niigata screw is a standard component in several Niigata plastic injection molding machine series. These machines vary in tonnage and configuration, but the 35mm screw fits specific models designed for mid-range production needs.


  • Niigata MD-S8000 Series (All-Electric)

This is Niigata’s 8th-generation all-electric series. The 35mm screw is commonly found in mid-range tonnage models such as the MD110-S8000 (110-ton) and the 85-ton variants. These machines benefit from the screw’s ability to deliver precise shot sizes and consistent melt quality.


  • Niigata MD-S6000 & MD-S7000 Series

Older generations of all-electric horizontal machines in these series often came with the 35mm screw as either a standard or optional feature. These machines typically cover tonnage from 55 to 110 tons, making the 35mm screw a versatile choice for various molding applications.


  • Niigata MD-V & MDVR Series (Vertical Machines)

Certain vertical rotary models, especially those designed for insert molding, can be equipped or retrofitted with a 35mm injection screw. This allows for flexibility in shot volume depending on the molding requirements.


Key Features of the 35mm Niigata Screw


The 35mm Niigata screw is not just a simple replacement part. It is engineered to maintain high precision and durability in demanding injection molding environments.


  • Overall Length

The screw measures approximately 32.28 inches in length, providing the necessary reach and compression for effective plasticizing and injection.


  • Shot Size Flexibility

In machines like the MD110-S8000, the 35mm screw is part of a "Shot Maker" system. This system allows operators to adjust shot sizes between roughly 2.75 to 6.53 ounces by changing the screw and barrel configuration. This flexibility supports a wide range of product sizes and cycle times.


  • Screw Tip Assemblies

The screw tip assembly is a critical component that ensures consistent melt flow and shot control. The 35mm screw tip assembly is a standard replacement part compatible across multiple Niigata machine generations, helping maintain machine accuracy and prolong service life.


Why Choose a 35mm Niigata Screw?


Selecting the right screw size impacts the quality and efficiency of your injection molding process. The 35mm Niigata screw offers several advantages:


  • Precision Control

Its design supports accurate shot volume control, reducing material waste and improving product consistency.


  • Versatility

Compatible with multiple Niigata series, it suits a variety of molding tasks from small to medium shot sizes.


  • Durability

Manufactured to withstand high temperatures and pressures, it ensures long-term reliability in demanding production environments.
