Machine Footprint and Floor Space Requirements
HWAMDA SPV5 machine dimensions determine the minimum floor space allocation. The HMD 270M8-SPV (270 ton) measures approximately 4.8m x 1.3m x 1.9m (L x W x H), the HMD 380M8-SPV (380 ton) measures 5.8m x 1.6m x 2.1m, and the HMD 600M8-SPV (600 ton) measures 7.2m x 1.9m x 2.3m. Beyond the machine footprint, allocate space for: mold change cart access (1.5m on the operator side), maintenance access (1.2m on the non-operator side and 1.5m behind the machine for barrel pull), SWITEK robot mounting and swing clearance (1.0-1.5m above the machine with ceiling height requirement of 4.0-5.0m minimum), downstream equipment including conveyor belt (3-5m length), part collection station, and quality inspection area. Total cell dimensions for an HMD 380M8-SPV with SWITEK robot, conveyor, and full access: approximately 10m x 5m = 50 m2 for the core cell. Add material handling area (granulator, vacuum loader, masterbatch blender) of 3m x 3m adjacent to the machine, and a shared aisle of 3.0m width between machine rows. A typical 4-machine production bay layout requires 300-400 m2 total floor area.

Foundation and Floor Loading Requirements
HWAMDA SPV5 machines generate dynamic loads during clamping and injection that require adequate foundation design. Machine weights: HMD 270M8-SPV at 7,500 kg, HMD 380M8-SPV at 9,200 kg, HMD 600M8-SPV at 16,500 kg. Static floor loading is straightforward (distributed over 4-6 mounting points), but dynamic loads from the toggle clamp mechanism generate peak forces 2-3 times the static weight during high-speed clamping at 1,200 mm/s. Minimum floor slab specification for SPV5 machines: reinforced concrete, 250-350mm thickness, compressive strength 25-30 MPa (C25/30), with #4 rebar at 200mm grid spacing. Floor flatness should be plus or minus 3mm over the machine footprint length for proper machine leveling. Vibration isolation mounts (anti-vibration pads, durometer 40-60 Shore A, or adjustable leveling feet with rubber dampers) are installed between the machine and the floor to attenuate vibration transmission to adjacent machines. Machine-to-machine spacing of minimum 1.0m prevents vibration coupling. For existing facilities, verify floor loading capacity by inspecting the original structural drawings or commissioning a load-bearing capacity assessment by a structural engineer before machine delivery.
Electrical Power Supply Specifications
HWAMDA SPV5 servo-hydraulic machines require 3-phase power supply matched to the installed motor rating and heater load. Power specifications by model: HMD 270M8-SPV -- 30 kW servo motor + 18 kW barrel heaters = 48 kW installed, 380V/50Hz, 90A main breaker. HMD 380M8-SPV -- 45 kW servo motor + 22 kW heaters = 67 kW installed, 380V/50Hz, 130A main breaker. HMD 470M8-SPV -- 55 kW servo motor + 28 kW heaters = 83 kW installed, 380V/50Hz, 160A main breaker. HMD 600M8-SPV -- 75 kW servo motor + 35 kW heaters = 110 kW installed, 415V/50Hz, 200A main breaker. Cable sizing must account for the servo motor's high inrush current (6-8 times rated current for 50-100 milliseconds during injection peak demand). Use copper cables rated at 125 percent of the full-load current per local electrical codes. Each machine requires an independent earth/ground connection with resistance below 4 ohms. For installations in regions with unstable power supply (voltage fluctuations exceeding plus or minus 10 percent), install a servo-compatible voltage stabilizer -- conventional ferro-resonant stabilizers are not suitable for servo motor loads due to waveform distortion.

Cooling Water and Compressed Air Systems
HWAMDA SPV5 machines require two independent cooling water circuits: machine cooling (hydraulic oil cooler, barrel cooling) and mold cooling. Machine cooling specifications: flow rate 20-40 L/min at 25-32 degrees C inlet, returning at 30-38 degrees C. This circuit can use an open cooling tower system where ambient conditions permit (dry bulb temperature below 35 degrees C). Mold cooling specifications: flow rate 40-80 L/min per mold at 12-25 degrees C inlet (depending on cycle time requirements), returning at 15-30 degrees C. This circuit requires a dedicated chiller with capacity of 20-50 kW per machine. Water quality: total hardness below 100 ppm CaCO3, pH 7.0-8.5, chloride below 200 ppm to prevent corrosion in mold cooling channels. Install Y-strainers (100 mesh) at each machine inlet to catch debris. Compressed air: 6 bar at the point of use, 200-400 NL/min per machine for valve gate actuation (pneumatic systems), air ejection, and utility air. Air quality should meet ISO 8573-1 Class 4.4.4 (particle 5 micrometers max, dew point 3 degrees C, oil content 5 mg/m3). Install a dedicated air dryer and filter set at each machine if the central compressed air system does not meet this specification. Pipe sizing: 1-inch steel or 25mm PPR for individual machine drops from the main header.
Material Handling and Storage Layout
Efficient material flow from raw material receiving to finished goods shipping minimizes handling labor and contamination risk. For a 4-machine HWAMDA SPV5 production bay producing thin-wall food packaging, the layout should follow a linear flow: raw material storage (PP resin in octabins or bags, 2-4 weeks inventory = 20-50 tons) feeding into the production area via enclosed vacuum conveying (stainless steel, 3-inch diameter tubing, one conveyor per machine at 50-80 kg/hr capacity). Masterbatch storage adjacent to the production area in a climate-controlled room (20-25 degrees C, humidity below 60 percent RH) prevents moisture absorption and color degradation. Finished goods flow from the machine via conveyor to a quality check station (scale, visual inspection, dimensional gauge), then to a stacking/counting station, and finally to a stretch-wrap/palletizing area. For IML lines, label storage requires a clean, static-controlled environment (20-25 degrees C, 45-55 percent RH, static below 2kV) adjacent to the robot feeding station. Regrind processing area (granulator, classifier, storage bins) should be enclosed and ventilated to prevent particle contamination of the cleanroom production area. Allow 30-50 m2 for material handling and storage per machine cell.

Safety and Regulatory Compliance for Factory Layout
Factory layout for HWAMDA SPV5 installations must comply with local occupational safety regulations and relevant machinery directives. General requirements: maintain minimum 1.2m clear aisle width for pedestrian access and 2.5m for forklift traffic. Emergency exits within 30m travel distance from any machine position. Fire extinguisher stations within 15m of each machine (CO2 or dry chemical type for electrical fires, water or foam for general fires). Machine safety zones: HWAMDA SPV5 machines comply with CE machinery directive 2006/42/EC safety requirements including interlocked guard doors on the operator side, fixed guards on the non-operator side, emergency stop buttons on all four sides of the machine, and safety light curtains as an option for mold change operations. Floor markings (yellow paint, 50-100mm width) delineate machine cells, walkways, and forklift lanes. Noise levels: HWAMDA SPV5 servo-hydraulic machines produce 72-78 dB(A) at 1m during operation, below the 85 dB(A) threshold requiring hearing protection in most jurisdictions. However, multiple machines in an enclosed space may combine to exceed this level -- conduct a noise survey after installation and provide hearing protection if the 8-hour time-weighted average exceeds local limits. Lighting: 500 lux minimum at the mold area and operator panel for quality inspection and parameter reading.
