Sustainable packaging with the KMD 78.2 Speed
Kiefel, hall 3 – booth E90
Kiefel’s packaging specialists will be demonstrating a Speedformer KMD 78.2 speed producing a tray made from an rPET film with a thickness of 0.35 mm – light, stable and sustainable. The steel rule machine is just as at home in large volume production as it is with smaller quantities.
The interaction of servo motor drives, an optimised symmetrical toggle lever system and particularly robust cast steel tables offer high efficiency along the entire service life. With the Kiss-Cut system the machine guarantees maximum uptime and precision with its high punching quality and reliability, says Brückner. The separately driven plug assist provides material savings, high levels of process control and product quality. During machine development, the focus was on energy efficiency, for example of the heating elements or the drives, which all have an energy recovery system.
The new KMD generation saves material. The film feed table with rollers prevents scratches and particle contamination. It enables reliable and safe film transport. The forming area of the machines uses the entire width of the film. The servo motor-driven components, the forming air speed and the cutting force are responsible for speed and accuracy. Ergonomic tool changing systems make tool changes quick and easy.
Operation of the machines can be grasped quickly – thanks to the machine visualisation, the human-machine interface (HMI). The production process is clearly visualised on a dashboard on a screen attached to the machine. Machine operators can thus monitor the machine status and forming process at a glance. Settings, adjustments and test runs are carried out intuitively via the HMI. Supported by clear diagrams and animations as well as step-by-step instructions, machine training time and adjustment processes are reduced to a minimum.
