closure body is made in parting line one and the valve and lid in parting line two. A 90˚ rotation of the cube mould takes the parts to an assembly position. KraussMaffei says this arrangement is simpler than
traditional cube mould systems and is more flexible in production. If the application changes, it claims the machine can be quickly retrofitted thanks to the cantile- vered spin unit and easy-to-replace cavity plates. “In particular, this type of flexible production concept is specially tailored to the requirements of manufacturers of packaging and medical technology products in Asia,” says Frank Peters, vice president of sales at KraussMaffei. The machine at Chinaplas will be equipped with the
company’s BluePower servomotor and actuator, which uses electric drives on the sliding table and spin unit to save energy while also providing parallel movement.
MHT ❙
www.mht-ag.de MHT Mold & Hotrunner Technology will be showing its extended range of upgrade sets for operators of Husky HyPET preform injection moulding machines. The company can now supply upgrade sets for
HyPET 120 and 225 machines, as well as the 300, 400, 500 and GL600 models. It claims its upgrades allow producers to lift output by up to 50% without the need for major machine modifications, which it says it achieves by tightening up cavity spacing to allow an additional row of cavities on each side of the mould. The upgrades, which are available for maximum

water thread diameters up to 30/25, also include MHT’s own three-stage post mould cooling unit.
Moss ❙
www.moss.it Moss will demonstrate its MO 3062 entry-level four- colour rotary dry offset printer for decorating the flat face of plastic closures. The MO 3062 can print 1,250 parts each minute.
Features include orientation into the loading device, automatic loading onto the continuously rotating cap-holder wheel, removal of dust and static charge, flame treatment, printing and UV-curing, camera inspection, and counting into boxes.
Motan-Colortronic ❙
www.motan-colortronic.com New from Motan Colortronic for the Chinaplas show is the Ultrabend 95, a gravimetric dosing and blending unit designed for medical applications. The company, which has operated its own Chinese
production and service subsidiary Taicang Motan-Color- tronic Machinery since 2006, will be showing its full range

of plastics ancillary equipment at the Chinaplas show, including compressed air and dry air dryers, conveying systems and material distribution control systems.
Nordson Xaloy ❙
www.nordsonpolymerprocessing.com Nordson Xaloy will be showing its new SmartHeat system for heating injection barrels and nozzles. The SmartHeat system replaces traditional heater bands with a two-layer plasma-sprayed metallized ceramic coating which sandwiches a nichrome wire wrap and is fully enclosed in a thermal insulation cover. It is claimed to offer faster response and more uniform temperature distribution than traditional systems, together with a 30-60% improvement in energy efficiency. According to Xaloy, the system is also more durable
than electrical heater bands, eliminating the need for heater maintenance and replacement.
Piovan ❙
www.piovan.com Italian ancillaries maker Piovan will show its EasyCool chiller range in Shanghai, focusing on the performance and energy saving features. EasyCool chillers are available in air cooled (CA) and
water cooled (WA) versions and in cooling capacities from 50 to 280kW. The units use scroll compressors mounted in tandem to allow cost effective operation at partial loadings, which the company says is 95% of the time for most processing applications. The evaporator
