Chinaplas 2012 | show preview
such as “decoration in motion”, ceramic coated roller, integrated vacuum cap-holding syst, and magnetic plate holding cylinders. It can print up to four colours. Netstal’s focus for Chinaplas is on its PET preform
systems, with the company demonstrating a 350 tonne PETline production system. This model is suitable for moulds with between 48 and 128 cavities. At the show it will be running a 128-cavity mould from Hofstetter of Switzerland. The machine will be equipped with Eisbar’s Drypack material handling and drying system, which the Austrian company has developed specifically for Netstal’s PETline machine range. Italian ancillary equipment maker Piovan will be
monitoring system. The company will also show a tie bar-less Victory
330/120 machine with Viper 12 robot producing mobile phone cases on a Nolato mould and a full-electric E- max 310/100 machine moulding medical syringe caps on a 48-cavity mould by Kebo of Switzerland. German TPE producer Kraiburg will feature its latest
newly introduced Polar Alloy blends materials, which are claimed to offer a silkier, smoother surface feel along with better resistance to abrasion and creep. The materials are said to be easier to colour than silicone and TPV products. The company will also display examples from its
OBC product line, which has been developed to provide an improved bond to engineering plastics such as glass-reinforced polyamide, and the latest Thermolast W products with enhanced wet grip. Wuxi K-Tron Colormax will present is latest loss-in-
weight feeding technology, including its single and twin screw, liquid and vibratory feeder systems. The company will also show the Micro feeder, which is designed to handle pellets, granules and free-flowing powders and provides an accuracy of less than 2%. Austrian mould components maker Meusburger will
present its new Change Mould system, designed to enable cost effective production of prototype or short series parts. The arrangement uses a wedge system to locate the interchangeable inserts, which can be replaced without removing the mould base from the moulding machine. Italian printing machinery maker Moss will
introduce its latest high speed cap printing system at Chinaplas. The MO2062 is a rotary dry- offset printing machine capable of handling through- puts of more than 300,000 caps/h. It offers features

promoting its Modula drying system in Shanghai. According to the company, this automatically adjusts all operational parameters for each individual hopper on its centralised drying systems, allowing energy usage to be optimised for most efficient operation. Modula uses a patented measuring unit located in the air supply line under each hopper together with a series of sensors and specific control software that determines the required airflow. The system will be demonstrated at the show as part of a DP644 dryer system with PTU600, 1000 and 1500 hoppers. Taiwanese quick mould change specialist Sandsun will display its QMCS mould clamping system at the show, which uses compressed air to drive the hydraulic clamping units. Features include automatic monitoring and adjustment of circuit pressure, interlock function and electronic control system. Hydraulic pressure is maintained in the system in the event of loss of air suppy, says the company. TheWittmann Battenfeld stand at Chinaplas will
provide an opportunity to see some of Wittmann Group’s latest injection moulding and ancillary equipment in action in insert-moulding and micro- moulding applications.
Insert moulding will be demonstrated on a VMR 110/350V vertical machine with a 1,280mm diameter rotary table and a full Wittmann automation pack. Steel blades are inserted and finshed parts removed
