Plastics & Rubber Vietnam 2016: Arburg

to exhibit high-end packaging machine

In focus: efficient packaging technology

Specific: hybrid, high-performance machines in

Packaging version

Challenging: 24 screw caps in three seconds

Lossburg. At the Plastics & Rubber Vietnam, which

takes place in Ho Chi Minh City from 1 to 3 March
2016, Arburg will present an efficient production
solution based on a hybrid Allrounder from the highperformance Hidrive series, thus placing the focus on
the packaging industry. The high-speed Allrounder
570 H in the Packaging version will demonstrate the
cost-effective production of drinks bottle closures at
exhibition stand G 19 in Hall A1, A2.
"With a hybrid Allrounder 570 H in the Packaging
version, we will be presenting an injection moulding
application designed for high volume production in the
packaging industry at the Plastics & Rubber Vietnam
2016. This efficient high-speed machine produces 24
water bottle closures in only three seconds," explains
David Chan, Managing Director of Arburg Singapore and
responsible for the entire ASEAN region.

Packaging technology: Allrounder Packaging

In the packaging industry, fast, high-quality volume
production using reliable and efficient technology is
required. Specially for the production of screw caps,
Arburg will present a hybrid Allrounder 570 H in the
"Packaging" version at the exhibition. Its high performance
capabilities will be impressively demonstrated, using the
example of size 29/25 standard drink bottle caps for still
mineral water. The exhibit, which features a clamping
force of 1,800 kN and a size 800 injection unit, operates
with a 24 cavity mould from Z-moulds. The high-quality
screw caps weighing 1.25 grams are produced in a cycle
time of around three seconds.
"Packaging" version: high performance and fast
Arburg offers a Packaging (P) version of the highperformance hybrid and electric Hidrive and Alldrive
machines. These efficient high-speed machines offer high
productivity and reduced energy requirements for
applications in the beverage industry and are
characterised by a well-balanced combination of distance
between tie-bars, clamping force and opening stroke.
Moreover, it provides fast, precise, energy-saving mould
movements through servo-electric toggle-type clamping
units, high plasticising flow rate through barrier screws and
servo-electric dosage drives, dynamic position-regulated
screws and effective injection flows volumes.
Special features for screw cap production

In addition to the basic equipment in the Packaging

version, special features are available that enable the
machines to be adapted to particular applications for the
production of thin-walled items and screw caps. Fast,
reliable ejection of mass-produced parts is what counts in
screw cap production. A servo-electric ejector with a
hydraulic boost function, i.e. an increased ejector force of
250 kN, is available for this purpose. This ensures
problem-free demoulding, even in the case of shrunk-on
closures. The eject and open mould steps can be
synchronised. The dropping of the moulded parts can be
precisely adjusted to keep the mould open times short.
Higher screw circumferential speeds enable
correspondingly short dosing times. This enables very
short cycle times to be achieved.
