At KUTENO 2025, May 13-15 in Bad Salzuflen, Germany, Haitian will present the latest company developments, an updated product portfolio and a live application at booth 20-G37. At this year’s Kuteno, the Zhaifr Zeres Series will once again be in the spotlight, demonstrating a practical approach to process optimization and sustainable, efficient production.

The Zeres Series, with its fifth gqeneration launched in Europe last year, is now well established and recognized in the market. Its electric concept with integrated hydraulics makes it suitable for a wide range of production requirements. Combined with the intelligent HT·XTEND functions – standard on the Haitian and Zhafir machines – the electric toggle machine embodies ease of use, integrated process optimization functions and production flexibility.

One special HT·XTEND feature on display is HT·OptiForce, which accurately calculates the minimum clamping force required by monitoring tie bar expansion during injection. At the touch of a button, operators benefit from:

• Mold preservation: Targeted clamping force reduction extends mold life and reduces maintenance.
• Scrap reduction: Optimized mold breathing minimizes surface defects, even in highly glazed cavities.
• Energy efficiency: Lower clamping forces reduce energy consumption, supporting cost-effective production.

Live at KUTENO

At KUTENO a Zeres ZE600V-80 B22 will demonstrate the production of a polycarbonate (PC) optical lens using a mold from IWPM Ofr. GmbH & Co. KG with a cycle time of 34.5 seconds and a shot weight of 13.85 grams. In addition, a dryer and temperature control unit (TCU) from Haitian Smart Solutions, a sister company of Haitian International, provide stable processing conditions.

On top of the live demonstration, visitors can explore the latest developments in the Haitian machine portfolio, not only in terms of new injection molding machines but also regarding integrated automation solutions.
