Europe is enduring brutal extreme heatwaves this summer.
Temperatures in multiple countries soar above 40°C. The once-overlooked small handheld fans have now become essential cooling goods on European streets.

Amid this global boom of the cooling economy, every handheld fan delivering cool breeze on the streets of Paris and in Berlin’s subway relies on one critical component — fan blades.




Recently, the team from TUP visited a client factory specializing in the production of various fan blades. The company manufactures blades for handheld fans, cooling fans and other products, exported to numerous countries and regions worldwide.
On-site, 25 units of TUP UN hydraulic injection molding machines are neatly arranged and running at high speed, presenting a bustling production scene.
“After switching to injection molding machines from TUP, the production stability is excellent. Under the same clamping tonnage, TUP machines support heavier molds with larger injection volume and higher precision. Even complex structural components can be produced consistently.”
1、Build a Closed-loop One-stop Workshop Production Model to Stabilize Mass Production for Insert Molding
The whole workflow is completed in-house: automatic placement and positioning of metal inserts, plastic overmolding, part ejection, inspection and packaging.
No cross-factory outsourcing and transportation are required, cutting logistics costs and greatly shortening overall production lead time.
2、High Speed & High Precision to Solve Core Challenges of Fan Blade Molding
Fan blades feature merely 0.6~1.2mm wall thickness and complex twisted curved surfaces.
Equipped with a high-response servo system and dedicated high-efficiency plasticating screw, TUP UN hydraulic injection molding machines enhance plasticating capacity, eliminate molding defects such as short shots and flow marks. The finished fan blades achieve both lightweight design and structural toughness.
3、High Rigidity for High-volume Production with Multi-cavity Molds
High-rigidity platens, extended slide bases and linear guide rails ensure positioning accuracy <1 mm and parallelism ≤0.2 mm.
The machine runs at high speed without unbalanced load, delivering consistent product quality and steadily raising yield rates for multi-cavity molds.
4、Modular Configurations Cover Full Application Scenarios
From tiny impellers and large fan blades to precision cooling blades, the modular design provides flexible combinations of injection capacity, clamping force and screws.
Machines are precisely matched to different products, dry cycle time is optimized to the minimum, maximizing unit output.
5、Energy Saving & Cost Reduction with Outstanding Cost Performance
Servo control greatly reduces power consumption and production energy costs.
Combined with optimized temperature control and hydraulic systems, the machines support long-term non-stop production. The qualified product rate remains stably above 99%, realizing three major goals: cost reduction, quality improvement and efficiency enhancement.
With robust equipment featuring precision, stability, high efficiency and energy conservation, TUP empowers clients to forge ahead and double benefits amid the global boom of the cooling economy.
