24 caps in 2.7 seconds
Drinktec Arburg, Hall A4 – Stand 323
Arburg will demonstrate at Drinktec its injection moulding technology which has been specially optimised for the packaging industry, particularly for fast sequence and high-cavity moulds. The exhibit, a packaging version of the hybrid Allrounder 570 H, has a clamping force of 1,800 kN and a size 800 injection unit. Twenty-four drink bottle caps will be produced in a cycle time of only 2.7 seconds on a high-performance mould from Z-moulds. The weight of the HDPE moulded parts is 1.25 grams. A vacuum conveyor and a direct colouring device ensure a correspondingly high throughput. Quality monitoring is carried out in-line using an optical system.
The hybrid Allrounders of the Hidrive series are intended to work cost-effectively and remain productive and energy-efficient. This is ensured in particular by the combination of high-speed servo-electric toggle, electric dosing and hydraulic accumulator technology. This facilitates accurate, dynamic injection at a high performance level. Simultaneous machine movements ensure reduced cycle times.
The special combination of “distance between tie bars, clamping force and opening stroke” in the Packaging version is tailored to the efficient mass production of packaging articles. An important feature for high-speed operation is powerful ejection, which is synchronised with the mould movement and ensures the particularly precise and reproducible falling of moulded parts.
Special features are available for the production of thin-walled parts and screw caps, enabling the machines to be individually tailored to the relevant application.
