SHOW PREVIEW | FAKUMA
in materials handling, X Comb 12 is a new dryer – which Moretto claims is the smallest on the market – with a -50°C Dew Point and low energy consump- tion. Moretto offers this with OTX (Original Thermal eXchanger) hopper and X Max – a large dryer capable of 20,000 kg per hour. Meanwhile, its GR 6050 Hyper Cut is a low-speed grinder that is new to the market. The starve feeding granulator is suitable for grinding waste pieces, sprues and blown parts with 15 movable blades. The engine power is transferred on a single mobile blade and three standard fixed blades. The 160-degree grid increases productivity while reducing consumptions. �

At Fakuma, Netstal will produce 10ml syringe barrels on an all-electric Elion MED with a clamping force of 1750 kN. The part weight is 7.8g and the cycle time is
around 20 seconds. It is made from COC material from Topas using an 8-cavity mould from Fostag. During moulding, a lot of data is generated that

provides information about production quality. A large number of process parameters are available in the control system, which can be evaluated, displayed and monitored. The main focus is on the shaping phase. The quality of the moulded part is largely determined during this phase. Continuous monitoring of relevant parameters ensures compliance with tolerances. Histograms are used to detect a possible deviation trend at an early stage and issue a warning. Manufacturing processes in medical technology must be kept within the specified tolerance limits. Netstal avoids software-based adaptation of setpoint specifications, as this can lead to the validated process window being exceeded or undershot. Netstal’s solution, called Responsive Filling Control (RFC), is

Sumitomo (SHI) Demag will exhibit eight all-elec- tric IntElect machines at Fakuma this year, showing them in a range of potential applications. All eight machine have relatively small footprints – with four on the main booth and four on the stands of partner companies.
With automotive accounting for the largest
share of multi-moulding components, one main stand exhibit features the IntElect 130 Multi machine with a flexible 6-axis articulated robot from Sepro. The smaller footprint IntElect Multi fills an important gap in the market – by increasing mould space in a compact cell that can easily accommodate multi-cavity tools. It will make 2K injection moulding components – using PC and ABS – on a tool from BIA Kunststoff. The tool is rotated by an integrated turntable from Polarform, equipped with its own inverter and a drive system from Sumitomo. Total cycle time for the part is 25 seconds.
In addition, the company will showcase its new 910 injection unit on a 180-tonne machine for a medical moulding. To demonstrate the combination and fine
processing control, it will mould syringe plungers from a non-porous HDPE using a 32-cavity tool. The part has a shot weight of
29g. The application is realised in cooperation with Elm Plastic, which also provides the tool and peripherals. Processors can also add a 50mm screw, allowing them to mould larger parts. Having the option to switch between three screw sizes (45, 50, and 60mm, with an option to add 55mm), ensures that
