Schottli ❙
www.schoettli.com Swiss mould maker Schöttli, the latest addition to the Husky Injection Molding Systems business, will be promoting its solutions for special medical and specialty closure applicatons. “Asia Pacific is a growing market, particularly for
medical moulds, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to connect with our customers in this region and demonstrate the combined capabili- ties of Schöttli and Husky,” says Thomas Anderegg, President of the Schöttli Group. Exhibits include Schöttli’s latest mould
technologies for medical parts such as syringes, infusion/transfusion products, diagnostic systems and feminine care items. The company will also display Husky’s EASYcube mould technology for multi-material closure production.
Sumitomo Demag ❙
www.sumitomo-shi-demag.eu The centrepiece of the Sumitomo SHI Demag display at Chinaplas will be an El-Exis SP packaging machine pro- ducing 1.2g screw caps on a 96-cavity mould on a 1.8s production cycle.
The El-Exis SP 420-3000 machine will be running a
96-cavity hot runner mould and will be equipped with a 25:1 L/D ratio barrier screw with a special backflow barrier designed to improve reproducibility. The company says the fast cycle time results in part from the activeAd- just system within the hybrid machine’s NC5 controller, which allows movement of all axes to be optimised to achieve the shortest possible process times. The company will also be running a hydraulic Systec 120-200 C machine at the show producing medical rack components in POM on a 16-cavity mould by Kebo of Switzerland. The machine is fitted with a servo pump system to reduce energy consumption and runs a 12s cycle. Part removal is achieved using a Success 11 robot by Sepro of France and a quality inspection system by US-based Avalon Vision Systems completes the package. Sumitomo Demag manufactures Systec C series machines for the Asian region at its Demag Plastics Machinery unit at Ningbo in China. Last year it an- nounced it is expanding capacity at the Ningbo plant, aiming to take annual production from 650 to around 1,000 machines by 2015.

of ancillary and automation units. A 240 tonne EcoPower machine will be producing a
structural foam part with a high quality surface finish using a technology developed with German company Schaumform. This uses Wittman Battenfeld’s Cellmould physical foaming technique, BF-Mold variotherm mould temperature control and Hi-Q mould position control. The company will also be demonstrating a MicroPo-
wer machine producing a medical filter with an 80-micron mesh on a two-cavity mould with three- platen injection. The 1.1mg component is intended for use in micro pumps and inhalers. A 110 tonne HM ServoPower machine will be
producing a medical insulin pen component in PP on a 48-cavity mould supplied by Hasco. The company’s automation display includes W808, W818 and W818TS robots (the latter with a telescopic axis) as well as long stroke W828 robots. All the units on display will have been manufactured at Wittmann’s plant at Kunshan in China. Ancillary items on display include a Drymax Aton F30 segmented wheel dryer, Tempro C90, C120 and C140 temperature controllers, MAS granulators and Minor 2, Junior 2 Compact and Junior 3 screenless beside the press granulators.
