White goods are among the most important technical acquisitions for private households. While initially the term was only used for large white goods such as washing machines, refrigerators and dishwashers, today it also includes small electrical appliances such as coffee machines, mixers or hair dryers. This means that the range of components for large and small household appliances is extremely wide, from the large-format appliance front panel to a small gear wheel the size of a coin. The more different the individual components are, the more unique the requirements for appearance and material quality.
What they all have in common is the high stress of daily use. This requires high functionality and very robust quality and, with regard to visible parts, also high-quality surfaces.
Haitian International offers injection moulding machines that meet both requirements with the desired quality and in a highly efficient manner. Both servo-hydraulic machines and electrical solutions make a significant contribution to the life cycle cost (LCC) thanks to exceptionally high availability, reliable performance and consistent part quality, giving the supplier tangible competitive and cost advantages.
Intense and increasing competition in this market requires extremely economical solutions in parts production. Combining it with efficient automation is more than reasonable. Internationally, saturated markets prevail, where consumers replace their equipment as needed or replace it with higher-value models of next-generation equipment. However, in parallel with industrialised countries, growing markets are emerging around the world, where more and more consumers are buying white goods for their homes for the first time.
The further development of white goods offers additional growth potential, but also poses new challenges for the supplier industry, for example in terms of new material developments and the increased use of recycled materials. The growing demand for easier use of household appliances is fuelling the trend towards smart home technologies, at least in saturated markets: e.g. digitally networked appliance technology that can be controlled remotely via smartphone and can communicate with each other via WLAN. This will create numerous new tasks in plastics processing, so that not only the efficiency but also the flexibility of an injection moulding machine will become increasingly important.
