Amut Group boosts technical service in Vietnam and Indonesia
In August 2015 Amut confirms the establishment of new technical service points in Vietnam and Indonesia boosting and consolidating an onsite support to the existing and potential customers. This strategy has been followed because of the good results achieved in the extrusion and thermoforming field in the South-Eastern Asian area. Amut has a good reputation in these countries and the last model of thermoforming machine has hit the mark: the AMP 850 GP delivers particular light AQUA CUPS ideal to comply the specific exigencies of these markets, such as a volume of 220ml and a weight of barely 2.5gr. Amut Group secured two important projects in Indonesia with the in-line version of this model, fitting the standard tests for filling and sealing water cups and with an output of 96.000 pcs/hour. Reduction of power and compressed air consumptions is proven.
The main facts of the in-line system are:
- Single screw extruder EA130 40 L/D, equipped with a new screw design reducing the mechanical stress on the PP during the melting process and granting good results on the cup’s impact test and keeping the max output at 800kg/h processing till 50% of recycled material;
- Calender roll equipped with three independent hard chromed polished rolls, with diameter 600mm with a new concept of internal cooling to guarantee the best heating exchange between polymer and water;
- The AMP850 GP thermoforming machine with a mould area of 850 x 550mm and cutting force up to 70t, equipped with 50-cavity mould off set configuration to reduce the recycled material at only 40%;
- Pick up stacker capable to reach a production efficiency up to 92%;
- In-line grinder composed of a rotor diameter 400mm and 5+5 blades to increase the cutting frequency and to decrease the power consumption;
- Software supervisor for an easy and friendly handling of the machine.
This met with an excellent response from the Vietnam area too. After only two months from the presentation of the VPK-C84 3-stations thermoforming machine during the last Chinaplas show, Amut has finalised two contracts in Vietnam: one for a AMP630 thermoforming machine for the production of PP cups (Ø 85 mm) and the other for a VPK-C84 delivering PP and PET lids with diameter 85 mm and 95 mm.
