Presenting five machines, the company is continuing its staunch focus on delivering precision, power and productivity to plastic mould- ers globally. Consuming up to 20% less energy than its predecessors, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag is bringing two energy-enhanced El- Exis SP machines to K 2019, a large and a smaller version. Catering specifically to the packaging moulding markets, the ultra-high speed range ensures manufacturers no compro- mise on quality, production efficiency or sustainability, says Sumitomo. Central to the machine’s fast cycle time is the hydraulic accumulator, which achieves injection speeds of up to 1,000mm/s. This enables moulders to produce even thinner packaging items. The range is also one of the fastest machines in the market for injection dynamic, “The combina- tion of speed with high quality moulding repeatability helps to minimise packaging production waste,” explains Arnaud Nomblot, Director Business Development Packaging at Sumitomo (SHI) Demag. www.sumitomo-shi-demag.eu Hall 15 Sumitomo Demag Booth D22
