45 EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 09/24 www.petpla.net Netstal Hall B3 – Booth 3119 Medical technology application Netstal will demonstrate the production of 10 ml syringe barrels with Luer-Lock adapters using its all-electric Elion MED injection moulding machine with a 1,750kN clamping force. The process uses a precision eight cavity mould from Fostag and COC material from Topas, with a cycle time of approximately 20s. Integrated systems from Mouldflo, Motan Colortronic, and HB-Therm are claimed to ensure precise thermal control, material preparation, and temperature regulation. Automation is managed by SKA, featuring high-speed part removal, thermal imaging, and process data tracking, all linked to a unique identifier via QR code. The Elion MED machine operates with advanced control technology, including Axos9 and Responsive Filling Control (RFC), to ensure exact shot weight within validated tolerances. Additionally, cooling processes are monitored using Mouldflo’s thermal control system to maintain strict component quality. The SKA handling system removes the finished syringes and places them on a conveyor belt. The system communicates with the machine via Euromap 77 interface, providing real-time process data for consistent medical-grade production quality. www.netstal.com Cold Jet, Hall B3 – Booth 3110 New performance standards in dry ice blasting technology Cold Jet, well known for dry ice technology, will be presenting its new Aero 2 Ultra Series. This new product line has been designed to support the plastics industry in mastering the challenges of increasing efficiency. The Aero 2 Ultra machines are characterised by moisture-resistant mechanics and an advanced ultra-cold performing motor. The all-metal gearboxes improve durability, reliability and efficiency. The machine stability has also been upgraded with completely new proprietary control firmware and motor drivers, said Cold Jet. The Aero2 Ultra Series was developed to meet diverse needs: a plastics processor can clean many types of surfaces with one machine, such as the surface of injection moulds, deburring as well as injection screws. Cold Jet’s environmentally friendly dry ice is also used in the industry for deburring and de-flashing plastic parts. Duroplast parts (sometimes also thermoplastic parts) and the part geometries are not always suitable for tumbling. Cold Jet’s solutions for this are often fully automated. In a live demo, Cold Jet will show deeper insights into the processes. www.coldjet.com
