to facilitate the fastest cycle times with maximum machine stability. Package 2 comprises a hydraulic package that replaces the standard electric ejector with a hydraulic ejector drive. This is operated by an integrated hydraulic unit, which also controls the nozzle movement automatically.” Sumitomo (SHI) Demag said it was utilising the
Fakuma show to support fast-cycle packaging manufacturers in optimising productivity, boosting profitability and achieving their sustainability targets.
