Transcript – Optimizing Plastic Mold Design – Hydraulic Cylinders Plate Control and Lifters for Enhanced Efficiency

For over 80 years, DME has pioneered injection molding technology by partnering with industry innovators to solve real engineering challenges. AHP Merkle’s four-year partnership with DME (since 2021) reflects this philosophy—bringing European and global expertise to North American molders requiring solutions beyond commodity offerings.

All AHP Merkle hydraulic cylinders, locking cylinders, chain lifters, and plate synchronization systems are available exclusively through DME for North America. Complete product specifications, technical documentation, and the online configurator are accessible through DME.net and the DME eSTORE (store.dme.net).​

For complex mold design challenges, specifications requiring custom engineering, or technical consultation on cylinderselection:

• Access AHP’s online configurator for instant CAD geometry and customization
• Contact DME’s Mechanical Engineering team for complex application support​
• Request technical consultation through DME sales representatives across North America
• Utilize DME customer service chat on the eSTORE for rapid response

The message is clear: modern mold design demands precision engineering. Block cylinder technology, locking mechanisms, chain lifters, and synchronized plate systems represent solutions impossible with traditional tie-rod designs.

Whether your application requires extreme pressure holding, complex undercut management, multi-stage plate sequencing, or space optimization, AHP Merkle systems—available exclusively through DME—provide proven engineering solutions. ​

Your next complex mold deserves engineering expertise accumulated across 54 years of hydraulic innovation. Contact DME today.
