Right: Frigel displays its Ecodry closed-loop cooling technology
and are designed to allow the customer to select the drive confi guration that best suits the application. Plasticising and mould movement is electric on all models; ejector and injection movements can be specifi ed electric, hydraulic or accumulator-backed hydraulic. The F-160 model at Chinaplas will be fi tted with an AP series injection unit with 40mm screw that com- bines electric plasticising with hydraulic injection. The machine will be producing 110mm diameter PP lids weighing 7g on a 2.7s cycle time. The machine will be equipped with a hot runner system from Milacron group company Mold-Masters.
The F-Series machine will be running alongside 30
tonne and 350 tonne examples from Milacron’s Elektron all-electric moulding machine range. Both machines will be supplied from the company’s Chinese plant at Jiangyin.
Frigel
www.frigel.com Italian cooling equipment producer Frigel will be showing its new Microgel 3RC prototype portable chiller and temperature controller. According to the company, this new system incorpo-
rates a number of energy-saving features and rede- signed internal circuitry that improves accuracy and reduces operating costs. It also incorporates an improved self-diagnostics function and can be con- trolled either by its integral touch screen or via a wireless web connection. The company will also show its Ecodry 3DK closed

Huntsman will launch two new injection moulding grade TPUs at the show, targeting applications in sporting footwear.
The introductions come just weeks after the company offi cially inaugurated its new TPU production plant near Shanghai. “China is the biggest market for TPU and we have an exciting few years ahead of us. We have a new state-of-
the art production plant at our disposal and a robust R&D programme in motion that will see new solutions for core markets coming through steadily,” says Huntsman global business development manager Stephane Peysson. Avalon 95 ABU is a UV protected high performance
polyester-based TPU offering very good abrasion resistance and good fl ex performance. The material is also claimed to process on short cycle times. Avalon 95 AHT is a high transparency polyester TPU offering good UV stability and aimed at applications such as logo windows and other see-through footwear parts.
