PETpla.net Insider 10 / 2018

37 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 19 No. 10/18 www.petpla.net IML technology Sumitomo will be exhibiting their ElExis SP 200 with high- speed IML application. “The fourth generation El-Exis SP is still the fastest injection moulding machine in the world,“ states Arnaud Nomblot, Director Business Development Packag- ing at Sumitomo (SHI) Demag. Two years after its launch, he is still happy with the machine’s performance. From the very beginning, the machine concept has been designed to guarantee high performance in conjunction with availability and reliability, says Nomblot. Thanks to its dynamic hybrid drive and intelligent accumulation control, the El-Exis SP is claimed not only to deliver a good performance in terms of acceleration, mould movement and deceleration but also process constancy and precision paired with an energy effi- cient production. The live demonstration at Fakuma will highlight the complex packaging processes: a production unit with a high-volume output, low part weight, in-mould labelling and cycle times below 3 s. In a four-cavity mould (Simon), this system pro- duces decorated food cups from polypropylene (Borealis). It also comes equipped with an automation solution (Beck Automation). A high-speed side-entry robot places the labels (Verstraete) into the fixed mould half, while removing the fin- ished cups from the moving mould half and stacking them. www.sumitomo-shi-demag.eu Processing solutions Piovan Group will feature its Piovan, Aquatech and Fdm brands. While Piovan and Fdm are both specialised in mate- rial handling systems and advanced solutions for plastics processing, Fdm are more focused on the extrusion process. Aquatech specialises in industrial cooling and temperature control technology. The Friedrichshafen’s exhibition will be the platform to present Easytherm by Aquatech. This is the new tempera- ture control line, “Industry 4.0 ready” thanks to the integrated OPC-UA protocol, which includes a range of versatile units allowing smart energy use management. Another solution from Aquatech is Flexcool, a system which allows utmost efficiency and flexibility predominantly in the thermochiller application, DigitempEvo. Piovan will show its Winenergy and Winfactory 4.0 supervision software which will be featured on touchscreens. Winenergy is the energy use monitoring and analysis system comprising proprietary software that is connected to a series of measuring devices. These devices acquire data about a variety of physical parameters including power, electricity, thermal energy and temperature. It can be installed on its own or in combination with Winfactory 4.0, to maximise system control and efficiency. Also by Piovan is the ideal solution for the fully automatic material supply to the processing machines. Featured at the fair will be the model EL20 of the Easylink+ line, character- ised by a state-of-the-art pipe cleaning procedure, which guarantees the absence of cross-material contamination. Easylink+ will be in operation together with the Modula series auto-adaptive dryer and the Pureflo filterless granule receivers. For the first time at Fakuma, the Piovan Quantum E gravimetric batch blender with continuous extrusion control will be exhibited, equipped with its 15” touch-screen panel control. A big-size granulator will complete the product display under the Piovan brand. Fdm will showcase a gravimetric dosing system from their GDS series, featuring a Siemens control unit, designed for the needs of pellet, flakes, regrind, additives and powder treatment. www.piovan.com YOUR PARTNER FOR TECHNOLOGY MACHINERY AND MANAGEMENT www.sorema.it FOR INTERNATIONAL SALES: ³Î™‡äΣ‡ÈÎ{™£ÓxäÊUÊÃ>iÃJÜÀi“>°ˆÌ RESEARCH - ANALYSIS OF PROCESS CONDITIONS ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE MANUFACTURING AND PRE-ASSEMBLING INSTALLATION AND START-UP AFTER SALES SERVICE AND PRODUCTION SUPPORT Hall B1, booth 1105 Hall A7, booth 7201
