will be demonstrated producing a TPE face protection mask. The second TPE system is a 40 tonne MTTF100P/40C model, a special C-frame design configured for overmoulding of TPE corner sections for automotive window seals. A 200 tonne horizontal MHF400/200edition machine
completes the line-up. Equipped with a high precision SILjector injection unit from Elmet with active backflow barrier and hydraulic needle nozzle shut-off, the machine is said to provide very precise dosing accuracy. It will be producing bracelets in a two-cavity mould on an automated production cell including a Wittmann W818 robot. Materials handling systems maker Motan-Color-
tronic (Hall B1, Stand 1111) will show examples from its latest range of blending, dosing and crystallising equipment. The display will include the Gravicolor batch gravimetric dosing and blending systems, which range from the 30MD microdosing units up to models able to handle throughputs of 2,200kg/h. The units feature a modular construction and can be configured to handle up to six ingredients. HDC series crystallisers are designed for enhancing PET prior to processing. Offering throughputs from 80 to 900 kg/h, the modular units are designed with frequency-controlled blower drives to help minimise energy usage. Negri Bossi (Hall A5, Stand 5115) will show two
examples from its current range of injection machinery at the show, both focused on energy efficient manufac- turing.
An Eleos small two-platen machine will be demon-
strated in a clean room configuration. Developed from the hydraulic Eos range, Eleos machines are available from 50 to 120 tonnes and feature electric clamp and injection drive, with a small hydraulic unit providing ejector and core movement. The model at the show is an 80 tonne variant equipped with a fully-electric injection unit for processing LSR. It will be equipped with a Sytrama beam robot and will be producing baby bottle teats. Sytrama was acquired by Negri Bossi last year. A 220 tonne Janus hybrid machine will be running an IML packaging application using a special side-entry robot from Sytrama. Janus machines cover the range from 130 to 800 tonnes and use a hybrid drive system to achieve high performance along with low energy consumption. The company claims that the SmartEn- ergy accumulator-backed version of the machine achieves energy efficiency levels close to all-electric designs. KraussMaffei Group company Netstal (Hall A7, Stand 7303) will demonstrate a new 320 tonne addition to its

Elion hybrid machine line. The Elion 320 is the largest model in the Elion line and will be configured for production of IML cream cheese packaging lids in PP using a 4+4 cavity stack mould and IML automation from Müller Fabriques des Moules. With a cycle time of less than 3.5s, the system is capable of producing up to 8,230 lids each hour. The Elion machine range now includes five models
ranging from 50 to 320 tonnes. All feature a high speed five-point toggle clamp with crank drive that runs on linear guides for maximum speed and precision. Together with the Eco-Powerunit drive system, the design is said to provide an energy saving of up to 40% over traditional hydraulic toggle designs. Elion machines use the same hydraulic injection units as the company’s EVOS line. These use dual-valve technology to achieve injection speeds of up to 2,000 mm/min and fill times in thin wall packaging applica- tions of less than 0.1s.
