Engel - hall A5 booth 5204 Thin-wall injection compression moulding for stack mould technology Engel’s stand will put the spotlight on sustainability. The production of decorated mono-material food packag- ing and the processing of regrind from labelling waste is supporting the circular economy by creating a process chain. At the same time, the company is celebrat- ing the world première of the 4,200 kN version of the Engel e-speed injection moulding machine. The sophisticated packaging application combines extreme thin-wall injection compression moulding with stack mould technology. Over the fi ve days of the trade event, an e-speed 420/90 injection moulding machine with integrated in-mould labelling (IML) will be used to produce ready-to-use mar- garine tubs from polypropylene in a fully automated injection compression process. The containers, which have a wall thickness of 0.4mm (including the label), will be removed from the 4+4-cavity stack mould via high-speed, side-entry automation and stacked on a discharge conveyor following camera-based quality control. Corporate partners at the trade show will be MCC Verstraete, Plastisud, Campetella, Mevisco and Borealis. Intelligent labelling technology The labels of MCC Verstraete, which will be used for the production of the mar- garine tubs at Fakuma, are interactive. These labels are based on technology by Digimarc and, much like a QR code, Digimarc codes can be scanned with any smartphone camera. The main advantage of these is that they extend invisibly over the entire label surface. The camera can scan any point. Moreover, the codes do not interfere with the packaging design. From production through retail and recy- cling, the interactive labels offer added value. Consumers can discover the details of the ingredients and manufacture for both the product and the packaging while shopping. And when the packaging has reached the end of its useful life, the label provides information on the recycling process. Where the containers and labels are made of the same material, interactive IML packaging becomes fully recyclable. www.engelglobal.com Erema - hall A6 booth 6314 Shredder-extruder combination Pure Loop, an Erema Group com- pany, will present its Isec evo series. This shredder-extruder combination is rapidly becoming established as an ef fi cient recycling solution in injection moulding production thanks to its high fl exibility in processing different materials, simple operation and low maintenance requirements. Re-injection instead of rejection Isec evo is a high-performance mate- rial all-rounder that has been specially designed for recycling different types and shapes of material, regardless of whether solid parts or hollow bodies, roll stock or punched waste or waste from injection moulding production such as sprues, sprue patties and regrind. This is made possible by the unique input technology that features a combination of a double feed ram system and single shaft shred- der. The wide range of applications for this technology is con fi rmed by consulting the list of Pure Loop customers. In a series of tests carried out together with Engel, an injection moulding machine manufacturer, and Profol, a cast film manufacturer, Pure Loop recently proved that recycled pellets produced from glass fi bre reinforced organo sheets can be pro- cessed in the injection moulding process just as well as virgin material. www.erema-group.com The Isec evo shredder-extruder combination is an ef fi cient material all-rounder
