At Fakuma, Oerlikon will be showcasing solutions for the packaging industry that are designed to increase efficiency in the injection moulding of thermoplastics. Short cycle times, fast colour changes and large production volumes are among the advantages.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A new stack mould developed for the time-, material- and energy-saving injection moulding of thin-walled, ecologically optimised packaging could become a visitor magnet there. The patent-pending solution, which will soon be available on the market, is equipped with nozzles from the new Xd series from Oerlikon<\/a> HRSflow equipped. This enables hhigh filling pressures for cost-efficient production with consistently high quality<\/strong>, The stack principle supports the use of smaller injection moulding machines.<\/p>

Thanks to plug-and-play installation, assembly and maintenance are simplified and highly efficient. This helps to avoid long and costly downtimes. The new solution is also suitable for Processing of PCR plastics and sustainable compounds that meet the requirements of the circular economy<\/strong> correspond. The demo tool equipped with this is available to customers to demonstrate the use of demanding polymers for thin-walled packaging<\/strong> to test. Also available in the Oerlikon HRSflow test laboratory is a hybrid, high-speed e-Speed 280 injection moulding machine from ENGEL, primarily for the Processing of R-PET, bio-based and compostable polymers<\/strong> in accordance with the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).<\/p>

The presentation of a multi-cavity system for the simultaneous, productive manufacture of 72 closures underlines Oerlikon HRSflow's expertise and know-how in the field of caps & closures. Equipped with the new Vf nozzle series, this system enables Short cycle times of 2.2 s to 3.5 s with simultaneously optimised process reliability<\/strong> through precise control and optimum balancing of the filling process.<\/p>

This technical solution is for Closures for bottles with carbonated and non-carbonated beverages and for liquid and powdered concentrates<\/strong> equally suitable. It makes it possible to meet the requirements of the new European Single-Use Plastics Directive, which stipulates the use of tethered closures for all beverage containers with a capacity of up to three litres.<\/p>

Specially developed for HDPE caps, the Vf nozzles of the new multi-cavity line from Oerlikon HRSflow are suitable for part weights from 0.5 g to 8 g. They stand for reliably consistent product quality, fast colour changes and system restarts. A special nozzle tip enables Control in the gate area and improves the cycle time<\/strong>. The separate interchangeability of the nozzle tip makes maintenance particularly quick and cost-effective. Rheologically optimised hot runner geometries ensure Increased reactivity and therefore effectiveness of the system<\/strong>. Special inserts minimise the time required for colour changes while keeping the reject rate low, which contributes to the sustainability of production even with particularly critical colours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Oerlikon HRSflow becomes the Fakuma<\/a> 2023 will present FLEXflow technology as a sought-after solution for demanding injection moulding tasks. The servo-driven valve gate system is combined with a flexibly programmable control unit<\/strong>. This configuration enables precise and independent adjustment of the stroke and force in the needle positioning of each individual nozzle during the opening and closing phases of cascading injection processes. Its potential is evident in future trends such as the back injection moulding of films, intelligent automotive surfaces and lighting applications. In particular, their use in family moulds enables significant cost savings compared to the separate injection of individual parts, even if these are produced in cavities of very different sizes.<\/p>
