Right: Borouge launches its latest cap- grade HDPE at Chinaplas
Assembled around an Allrounder 57H Hidrive hybrid machine in packaging specification, the IML cell will produce four decorated tubs in a 4s cycle. The 180 tonne machine will be equipped with an IML system from French automation and in-mould labelling specialists Sepro Robotique and Machines Pagès. The 4-cavity mould is from Swiss manufacturer Kebo and labels from Verstraete of Belgium. Hotmelt overmoulding of electronic components will be demonstrated on an Allrounder 275V vertical machine. Hotmelt adhesives provide excellent adhesion to electronic components while the low melt viscosity minimises risk of damage, says Arburg. The machine will feature a special 35mm screw optimised for hotmelt processing. It will produce an LED carrier comprising an LED circuit board insert and two connector cables on a cycle time of 110s using a 1+1 cavity mould and a manual loading process.

Below: Dr Boy will demonstrate its integrated automation options
Borouge sister company Borealis in the first quarter of this year, is said to offer the ability to further down- gauge closure designs without compromising on ESCR or organoleptics. ESCR performance is said to be 50% improved on the previous BorPure MB 6561 grade. The multimodal BorPure MB5568 grade is also easy
to process in thin wall closure applications. The polymer has a flow equal to that of benchmark monomodal MFR 2 HDPE, according to the company. “Cost reduction in bottle production is a key factor in competitiveness for the beverage industry and lowering
the volume of material used in caps is a focus element of that initiative,” says Russell Tew, Borealis marketing manager advanced packaging and fibre.
Dr Boy ❙
www.dr-boy.de German machinery maker Dr Boy will show two moulding machines in Shanghai, including an XS model equipped with its own integrated sprue picker. With a 10 tonne clamp, the XS is the smallest machine from Dr Boy and occupies just 0.74m2
of
floorspace. Its size 14 plasticising unit can be equipped with 12, 14 or 16mm diameter screws and can deliver shot volumes from 0.1cm3 to 8.0cm3
. The machine at the show will be fitted with a pneu-
matically-operated spruepicker that fits within the safety gate. “As we demonstrated during K 2013, we also offer complex automation equipment for our Boy injection moulding machines as per customer requirements. We are now able to respond even better to customer requirements through the addition of these devices,” says Dr Boy export manager Wolfgang Schmidt. The company will also show a Boy 35E machine. All
E-Series machines ordered with a 24 mm diameter screw diameter and larger can now be fitted with the EconPlast system that was launched at K2013. This is claimed to deliver an energy saving of 50 % during the melting phase, along with more precise and faster barrel heating and shorter startup and heating times.
