When it comes to plastic injection molding, the right barrel and screw combination can make a significant difference in machine performance and product quality. The 40mm Niigata barrel with an overall length of 39.45 inches is a key component for several Niigata injection molding machines, especially those in the 110-ton range. Understanding which machines use this barrel size and how to source replacements can help keep your production line running smoothly.

Which Machines Use the 40mm Niigata Barrel?

The 40mm barrel diameter and 39.45" overall length are most commonly associated with Niigata machines in the 110-ton class. Here are some specific models that use this barrel size:

• MD110 Series (SIII, SIV, X)

The Niigata MD110-SIV is a popular model that uses a 40mm screw. It supports a standard shot size of 161 grams, making it suitable for medium-sized injection molding jobs.

• MDVR110X (Vertical)

This vertical injection molding machine also uses a 40mm screw diameter. Vertical machines like the MDVR110X are often used for insert molding or applications requiring vertical clamping.

• NE85U

Although this is an 85-ton machine, some legacy NE85U models use a 40mm single screw. However, it is important to verify the barrel length of 39.45" for this model before ordering replacements.

• MD-S8000 Series

The 110-ton version of the MD-S8000 series often includes a 40mm barrel as part of its standard or "Shot Maker" quick-change options. This series is known for its versatility and ease of maintenance.

Why the 40mm Barrel Matters

The barrel diameter and length directly affect the plasticizing capacity and shot size of the injection molding machine. A 40mm barrel allows for a balance between throughput and precision, making it ideal for medium-sized parts. The overall length of 39.45 inches ensures compatibility with the machine’s injection unit and proper screw travel.

Using the correct barrel size helps:

• Maintain consistent melt quality

• Optimize cycle times

• Reduce wear on the screw and barrel

• Ensure proper shot size and pressure
