DaveMc1 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Do you want a hand injection pot system, or do you want an injection machine? For what it's worth an injection machine will run you $20,000 + and the molds will run $5,000 and up each depending on complexity and design. They DO NOT operate with our small hand molds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraskalure Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Injection pot if it holds at least 2 quarts or prefer an injection machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Ultra Molds Mini Shooting Star has 2 aluminum pots at 2 quarts each. Their large Shooting Star has 2 stainless pots at 2.5 gallons each. If you want an actual injection machine (remember you have to buy all new "production" molds for it) get in touch with Leonard at BaitJunkys, he has a friend selling several used production machines.

zx250 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not to hijack this thread, but with the mini shooting star do you just dip in your hand injector and shoot your molds? How many baits can you make on average with a 6 oz injector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, the Shooting Star setups use their own injector designed to operate the manual valves that allow you to draw plastic directly from the bottom of the pots and draw plastic from 2 separate pots simultaneously to inject laminates.

Production wise, you are looking at the same type of equipment that your major mass produced baits are made on (strike king, zoom, berkley etc) This is not hobby or small business type equipment, it's a production machine made to run production molds. FYI, a brand new machine built for you will run between $30k and $45k depending on options. Edited March 23, 2017 by DaveMc1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraskalure Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I am not there yet but if this pace continues I will be in the next two years, I hope this opportunity is still around then. Thank You for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 2000 stick baits per hour on avg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have one running in my shop now, They have made millions of baits, they were built to produce, not to look good. That being said the rebuild is definitely dressing them up. Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
