EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 07+08/25 www.petpla.net 49 Injection moulding for lightweight closures Z-Moulds Hall C6 – Booth 419 Z-Moulds Hall 10 Booth G32 A benchmark in high-performance closure manufacturing will be on display at this year’s Drinktec and K-Show. The injection mould for 26/22mm HDPE closures, developed by Z-MOULDS will be presented. The 72-cavity mould achieves a cycle time of below 2 s; at Drinktec, it will be running on Sumitomo Demag’s allelectric PAC-E machine. Each closure produced weighs 0.74 g, enabling an annual output of more than one billion closures. This productivity highlights the efficiency and repeatability possible with the patented mould technology, says Z-MOULDS. Visitors to Drinktec can see the system live in action at the Sumitomo Demag booth (Hall C6, Booth C6-160). Z-MOULDS will also be available for in-depth discussions at its own booth in the same hall (C6-419). The same high-performance system will be shown at K’ show in Hall 15 (Booth D22), with Z-MOULDS presenting at Hall 10 (Stand G32). These demonstrations are intended to highlight the next step in lightweight, high-throughput closure manufacturing - showcasing how state-of-the-art mould making can advance production efficiency and sustainability across the packaging sector. www.z-moulds.com
