Amaplast’s Italian pavilion at Chinaplas will include about 50 Italian businesses and occupy an area of 1,400 m² on the show floor. The Italian collective at Chinaplas 2019 includes a number of Amaplast members such as: Frigosystem, Gefran, Moretto, Piovan, Sacmi Imola and Tria. “The massive Italian presence at the specialised fair in China confirms the strategic importance of this market,” said Alessandro Grassi, Amaplast President, “which imported some €117m worth of Italian-made plastics and rubber processing technology in 2018.”
He said: “Italian manufacturers, who are able to
leverage the flexibility and ability to provide technologically advanced, custom-built machinery and auxiliary equipment that has always earned them worldwide acclaim, see China as a market whose potential has yet to be fully exploited.” �

Arburg says it will be presenting the digital future of plastics processing at Chinaplas 2019 by highlighting its new customer portal, the potential of augmented reality for service purposes and digital injection moulding assistance systems. The new customer portal, presented in Guang- zhou for the first time in a Chinese version, has central apps that include: the “Machine Center”, which contains important information and docu- ments for each machine; the “Shop” for ordering spare parts; and the “Service Center”. Visitors can also find out about the six digital Arburg assistance packages for starting, setting up, optimising, producing, monitoring and servicing Allrounder injection moulding machines. The application highlight of the Arburg stand is a complex turnkey system that produces ready-to- use LSR/LSR wristwatches within the injection moulding cycle. Other exhibits are an electric Allrounder from the Golden Electric series for a medical application and a Freeformer 200-3X for industrial additive manufacturing. The three

Boy is showing its 35 E injection moulding machine in a demonstration which the company says underlines its versatility. It is equipped with the Boy LR 5 robot and an integrated packaging machine. The application is a delicatessen tray which is moulded and shrink-wrapped directly in a foil. The highlight of this complete production cell, says Boy, is the new telescopic axle of the LR 5 part removal robot, which has a much lower overall height. Boy’s other demonstration features a 22 A machine manufacturing hygienic LSR baby bottle nipples in a six-cavity mould from EMDE MouldTec. The machine has clamping force of 220 kN, a footprint of 2.1 m² and a free-standing cantilevered two-platen clamping unit for easy accessibility and individual extensions or automation equipment. Both exhibits are equipped with Boy’s Procan Alpha machine control system. The integrated help function is being shown in the local language. �

Engel is showcasing LSR injection moulding at Chinaplas. On a tie-bar-less E-victory 310/120 machine it is moulding LED headlamp lenses in an automated cell to demonstrate how geometrically highly complex LSR products can be manufactured economically in large quantities. Engel says tie-bar-less machines offer advan- tages for processing LSR. As the robot can reach the cavities directly from the side without having to circumvent any obstacles reduces the handling time, and therefore the mould opening time. Also the tie-bar-less technology allows for compact
