MACHINERY [ Injection Moulding ] eKW28Pi / 1300 2800 kN Full Electric press

As always , the mould plays a key role in the application , and in this case too , the partner Muller certainly did not disappoint expectations .
PACKAGING APPLICATION The partner Enelkon will present a packaging application with a 4-cavity mould of a 150 ml circular container , weighing 10 g , at stand A7 / 7406 . Here too , the hourly output of over 3600 pieces per hour , labelled and controlled by vision systems , will be highlighted . The machine on display is a Full Electric 2800 kN , model eKW28Pi / 1300 , which stands out for its precision , speed and above all low energy consumption . The choice of an electric press stems from the fact that the product container , although very thin-walled ( approx . 0.4 mm ), has a very low height and therefore the injection speed of 450 mm / s is sufficient for correct filling . This application is perhaps the best example of the relationship between productivity and energy consumption , thanks both to the machine ‘ s allelectric drives and the high speed handling of the moulded product , guaranteed by Enelkon in the extraction time , IML and quality control activities with single rejection in the event of an anomaly . It is also important to emphasise here the reduced footprint of the system , thanks mainly to Enelkon ‘ s automation system , which optimised the space with experience and great capacity .
