DMZ III Three-Platen

Multi-Material Flexibility. Compact Three-Platen Design.

The JM-DMZ III Three-Platen is Chen Hsong’s back-loading multi-material machine from 168 to 468 tonnes. Built on the DMZ III independent rotary platen and a high-stability toggle structure, it delivers precise, repeatable multi-material molding in a compact footprint, with the flexibility to switch freely between single- and two-colour production. 

Main and auxiliary injection units stack to share one frame and guide mechanism, keeping the footprint small and reducing redundant parts. A modular injection system adapts to your mold, while e-Drive™ electric melt and aerogel insulation hold energy use down. Built for two-colour and multi-material parts where a compact, flexible back-loading layout matters. 

Core Values

Independent Rotary Platen Precision

  • Independent rotary platen, precision-manufactured; clearance ≤0.15mm vs industry average of 0.3–0.5mm
  • High-rigidity alloy steel base improves mold alignment accuracy by 60%
  • Servo motor drive with optical encoder closed-loop control delivers ±0.005° positional accuracy
  • Rotary table load capacity up to 2.5 tonnes, with multi-station turntable switching

Stable Three-Platen Clamping

  • High-stability toggle structure: hydraulic and toggle design combined for smooth, fast, and precise open/close
  • Moving platen and toggle in low-friction alloy with smart-control lubrication for durable, worry-free operation
  • High clamping specification: large tie-bar distance, opening stroke, and mold capacity for a wider range of molds
  • High-strength frame with upsized load-bearing profiles minimises deformation and extends machine life

e-Drive™ Melt & Aerogel Efficiency

  • e-Drive™ electric melt (workload-dependent) saves up to 30% power versus hydraulic
  • Synchronous melt with valve-gate or shut-off-nozzle molds further raises throughput
  • Aerogel barrel insulation reduces heat-dissipation energy loss by up to 28%
  • Adjustable barrel centre distance: 10% lower initial investment with zero-waste later expansion

Modular Injection & Controls

  • Three injection structures (horizontal, vertical, side-mounted) with H/L/V arrangements and 340–1040 injection units
  • Compact stacked main/auxiliary layout shares frame and guide mechanism for a small footprint and easy single/two-colour switching
  • Dual injection-shift structure improves nozzle centring and prevents drooling; full-length linear guide rails on the injection platform
  • 15″ touchscreen Linux controller with Modbus, CANOPEN, OPC-UA, EtherCAT, and EtherNET connectivity

FAQ

01What Is The Difference Between The JM-DMZ III and The DM III?

Both are toggle-clamping multi-material machines with overlapping tonnage, but they are built differently. The DM III is Chen Hsong’s purpose-built (dedicated) multi-material toggle series from 168 to 568 tonnes, with 4 patented rotary platen technologies, a dedicated multi-material controller, and ±0.2% injection accuracy.

The JM-DMZ III is the back-loading (piggyback) version from 168 to 468 tonnes: main and auxiliary injection units stack to share one frame and guide mechanism for a more compact footprint, with an independent rotary platen, e-Drive™ electric melt and aerogel insulation as standard, and easy single/two-colour switching.

Choose the DM III for dedicated multi-material production; choose the JM-DMZ III when a compact, modular back-loading layout and flexible single/two-colour switching matter most.

Both are back-loading DMZ III multi-material machines sharing the same independent rotary platen, modular injection system, and servo-driven ±0.005° positional accuracy. The JM-DMZ III uses a three-platen toggle design from 168 to 468 tonnes, with a compact structure ideal for easy single/two-colour switching and multi-scenario production.

The SM-NTP-DMZ III uses a two-platen design from 550 to 750 tonnes with a patented toggle-brake mechanism for larger mold space and higher clamping force. Choose the JM-DMZ III for compact back-loading multi-material production up to 468 tonnes; choose the two-platen for larger parts above that range.

In a back-loading layout, the main and auxiliary injection units are stacked and share the machine frame and guide mechanism, connected rigidly for coordinated operation. This gives a compact footprint, removes redundant parts, and improves injection accuracy.

The result is flexible switching between single-material and multi-material production, with three injection structures (horizontal, vertical, side-mounted) that can be arranged H/L/V to suit the mold and product.

The JM-DMZ III is designed for two-colour and multi-material parts up to 468 tonnes: automotive lighting and interior trim, appliance panels, power tool grips, personal care products, tableware, and toys.

Rotary table load capacity up to 2.5 tonnes supports multi-material molds, with three or more materials available via optional multi-station turntables. Easy single/two-colour switching suits varied production runs and multi-scenario manufacturing.
