34 EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 04/24 www.petpla.net Injection moulds in action Z-Moulds will showcase two of their injection moulds in action, each paired with a partner’s injection moulding machine. Firstly, the 72-cavity mould designed for a lightweight 1.00g 26/22mm closure will be running on Sumitomo Demag’s newest electric Pac-E machine (booth W3343). Of particular note on this machine is the collaboration between Z-Moulds and their partner MHT, a member of the Krones Group, in developing a hot runner system - a successful collaboration the company is eager to highlight. The highlight, at least in terms of moulds, will be the latest innovation, a mould featuring 128 cavities, which will be demonstrated on Netstal’s Elios 4500 machine (booth W223). This system is claimed to offer unmatched capacity and boasts a cycle time of 1.85 seconds and to set a new standard for high performance. This combination of machine and mould is expected to yield an output of around 2 billion 26mm still water closures, each weighing just 0.74 g. www.z-moulds.com South Hall, Level 1 Booth S12107 Bottle Zone Z-Moulds West Building, Level 2 Booth W7443C Expo Hall Let’s meet at the Bottle Zone - Join us live on stage in Orlando for the special three-day PETinar edition!
