The optimised fastening system makes it possible to change a mould in just 30 minutes,” Mr Wanasoontornkul is happy to report. Operating the system is simple and user-oriented. “We benefit from the frugal principle when teaching the machine: You only need to enter a few tool data to start production,” the Pow- erpack managing director continues. Operating conditions are kept simply MHT says that the demands that the frugal mould places on the cus- tomer’s injection moulding system are reduced. All that’s needed is a standard injection moulding machine. The set-up of the peripherals includes machines and components that are common for PET-processing opera- tions. From the chiller to the dryer to the dehumidifier, users can draw on existing components from their own inventory. For the best preform qual- ity, the injection moulders at Power- pack make use of an HPS auger. This ensures gentle processing of the PET, contributes to uniform melting and protects the machine from excessive wear. The reduced demands regard- ing the customer’s peripherals enable the frugal mould to be used anywhere in the world. In configuring the overall system, the customer was able to rely on the expert support of Mr Prawit Yodprechavigit / KraussMaffei Group SEA. The improved offer made pos- sible by a frugal design also offers cost-conscious customers a possibility to take advantage of the benefits of MHT’s moulds, states the company. This new mould has been designed to offer reliability and an optimal preform quality. www.mht-ag.com Frugal mould
