Used Universal Multishot (UMS) Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Universal Multishot Systems (UMS) began operations in 1998 as the machinery manufacturing division of MGS Mfg. Group, a Germantown, Wisconsin company founded in 1982. MGS engineers created UMS after finding that traditional machine suppliers could not respond quickly enough to the company's growing multi-material tooling and sampling requirements. What started as an internal solution for MGS's own molding facilities grew into a commercially sold line of injection molding equipment offered to plastics processors around the world.

The UMS product line centers on modular, add-on injection units engineered to convert standard single-shot presses into full multishot systems. Units are available in hydraulic and servo-electric drive configurations and can be mounted horizontally, vertically, or directly to the mold. The vertical injection molding machine format — represented by models such as the H400-100M and H600-150M — is a core offering, well suited to insert molding and two-component applications where gravity aids part positioning. Rotary platen assemblies, Econoline platens, and the compact UMS Micro-Molder round out the equipment range, with models covering a wide spectrum of shot sizes and press tonnages.

UMS vertical injection molding machines and portable units serve end markets that demand tight process control over multi-material interfaces. Healthcare and medical device manufacturers rely on UMS equipment for overmolding of surgical instruments, drug-delivery components, and diagnostic housings. Automotive suppliers use the systems for two-shot lens assemblies, soft-touch interior trim, and sealing components. Electronics and consumer goods producers also depend on UMS technology for color-separated and functionally layered plastic parts.

Buyers seeking used Universal Multishot (UMS) injection molding machines are drawn to the brand's reputation for robust, repeatable performance across long production runs. Because UMS equipment was originally engineered to meet MGS's own exacting internal standards, the machines are built to industrial-grade tolerances with in-house hydraulics and electronics that remain serviceable well into a machine's second decade. The modular architecture means individual components can be replaced or reconfigured without retiring the entire unit, keeping total cost of ownership low and making pre-owned UMS vertical injection molding machines a practical choice for processors looking to add multishot capability without the capital outlay of new equipment.
