A highlight at the Arburg stand at Plast this year is a demonstration of production with solid silicone. In the 100th
anniversary year of the Hehl family
business, Arburg is launching a new generation of machines with the Allrounder 470 H, which combines an electric clamping unit and hydraulic injection unit. The machine presented in Milan has a special configuration and will produce parts from solid silicone for the first time. On the stand of Arburg partner Sverital there is an LSR moulding demonstration with an electric Allrounder 470 A and a special pump system. In the cooperation between Arburg’s Italian team and Sverital, Arburg machines are offered to customers with all the accessories needed to operate an injection moulding system of this type. For packaging moulders, Arburg is showing an

electric Allrounder 570 A Comfort producing PP flip-top closures for bottles in the beauty care sector. Partners include Exxon Mobil as material supplier and Italian mould manufacturer Giurgola Stampi. The Gestica control system has various assistance functions for cycle times and filling and the process is managed via OPC UA interfaces to hot runners and the cooling system. An electric Allrounder 720 A Ultimate will have its Italian premiere at the show. The machine, complete with size 1300 injection unit, will be using injection compression moulding to produce environmentally friendly, thin-walled IML cups made from biomass balanced PP mono-material. A 4-cavity mould from Brink will be used to demon- strate the ICM process. Integrated into the produc- tion cell is a side-entry robot from Brink that inserts the labels, removes the finished cups and stacks them on a conveyor belt. A chemically recycled mass balanced PP is used in another demonstration which shows how the use of a second mould and thus an additional assem- bly line can be eliminated. An Allrounder More
54 INJECTION WORLD | September 2023
Boy is showing two injection moulding machines at Plast which it calls “a small giant and a big dwarf”. Being shown on the stand of its Italian representa- tive STATE Technologies, the Boy XS E and Boy 100 E hybrid are the smallest and one of the largest models in Boy’s product portfolio. The Boy 100 E hybrid is producing PP gift boxes in combination with the Boy-Handling LR 5. In the specially developed servo-electric injection unit with the international size SP170, the injection and metering movements are driven electro-mechani- cally via two servo motors, which are completely detached from the machine hydraulics. In combina- tion with the protective housing, the fully automat- ed production unit has a footprint of only 9 m². The new Boy XS E, which is the successor to the highly successful Boy XS, has the proven servo drive of the Boy E series. Energy efficiency, high dynamics and extremely smooth running characterise the compact injection moulding machine with 100 kN clamping force, says Boy. The machine demonstrates its strengths mainly in micro injection moulding and sprueless production in single-cavity moulds. The new machine is optionally available with two
different clamping platen configurations. In the standard version for conventional mould sizes up to 160 mm (diagonally up to 205 mm clear width between the tie bars) as well as with a special mould holder (75 x 75 mm for micro moulds). Even in the standard version, the Boy XS E offers the advantage of an injection unit that can be adjusted in height by up to 25 mm, thus enabling decentralised gating. �
