PRESS RELEASE PRIOR TO ELMIA POLYMER THE FOLLOWING SUPPLIERS WILL BE REPRESENTED AND PRESENT IN OUR STAND 2015 Barwell Preformers Barwell is currently the leading manufacturer of performers for the rubber and silicone industry. Their program extends far beyond the traditional hot-fed machines. Now they also offer continuous gear pumps, cold-fed preformers, high-tech precision machinery for exclusive types of rubber and compact spiral-shaped vibrating cooling tunnels for the hot materials. Barwell SpinTrim A simple and cost-efficient machine for deflashing rubber parts such as O-rings and gaskets. The solution works like a centrifuge and is well suited for those of you who do small to medium sized rubber parts and want to minimize the manual work and save time. Depending on the end quality requirements, the SpinTrim can act as the only method for deflashing or as a preparatory step before cryogenic deflashing to reduce both the time and costs. 1
Dr. BOY Injection Molding Machines for Plastic, Rubber, LSR & MIM STAND A01:15 Here we represent the typical German quality injection molding machine with modern techniques which are in the forefront when it comes to energy savings. A compact machine range which covers clamping forces from 10 to 100 tons! Simple changes of the plasticizing unit All BOY machines from 25 tons and up, are now equipped with a universal injection unit that allows easy replacement of the plasticizing unit. This means that you can run a significantly larger range of products / shot weights in one machine. To change the plasticizing unit to a larger/smaller version, does not take much longer than a normal mold switch. Econplast Econplast is a new design of the melt process that reduces energy consumption for this step by 40-50%. This through improved insulation, running of the screw and the optimized design of the screw and the feed zone. I OUR BOOTH we will exhibit a BOY 35E with clamping force of 35 tons. The machine will be equipped with a clean room cap which is specially designed for a sterile process. The machine will also be equipped with auto loader. We will be producing covers for insulin pens in a sprue less mold with hot runner and 16 cavities. The machine, which is intended for production of sterile products, is coated with a specially designed anti-static paint, has ionized air filtration in the mold area and all critical parts are made of stainless steel. An affordable option instead of building an entire clean room! HF Mixing Group Compounding & Mixing HF Mixing Group is since 2010 the generic term for the manufacturers that previously existed in the independent firms Harburg Freudenberg, Farrel & Pomini. HF is a global leader in terms of research, design, and manufacture of high quality compounding and mixing of rubber and plastics. They have time and again proven able to handle even the toughest of mixtures that require high intensity mixing, high dispersion, but at the same time a low process temperature. Advise System A new control system which enables full automation of an entire mixing plant: storage of the raw material, automatic weighing of fillers, plasticizers, etc. 2
Labtech Small-scale equipment for laboratories, development and production STAND A01:15 Labtech is a Swedish owned company based in Thailand that produces machines for lab, development and small scale production. The range includes everything from two roll mills to complex lines for co-extrusion of film/foil. Everything to very competitive prices! AWI Maskin has represented Labtech for over 15 years, with very good results and satisfied customers! IN OUR BOOTH we will show three different machine models from Labtech. Two roll mill, press and a line for cast film. 9-layer film blowing line Labtech breaks new ground and are expanding their range with this new line for blown film with 9 layers. The line consists of 9 extruders of 25-30 mm, pancake die, film tower with rotating nip and wind-up station. Not so smale-scale anymore! 3
Rivi Magnetics Magnetic platens for mold fixation For both the plastics and rubber industry, the cycles/series are getting shorter and the mold changes more frequent. This is increasing the non-productive time in presses and injection molding machines. The plastic industry has since long used the magnetic platens for mold fixation to reduce this problem, but in the rubber industry this has not been possible due to a technology that has not worked with hot molds. This problem has RIVI Magnetics solved with their GEMINI system. The corresponding systems for the plastics industry is called LION and has the same basic technique but for lower temperatures. No loose parts, no energy consumption during production. Easy and safe. IN OUR BOOTH we will demonstrate a set of platens from RIVI. UTP Vision Vision systems Non-contact measurement and surface control of different products by artificial vision systems. IN OUR BOOTH we will have a Kalix machine for demonstration. UTP's most simple vision cabinet for high-precision quality control and measurement of for example o-rings. Friul Filiere Extrusion lines for pipes and profiles Friul Filiere SpA is one of Europe's largest manufacturers of extruder equipment. Their strength is that they can undertake the complete development projects according to customer requirements. The more complicated the better! Friul Filiere has their own tool making and can thus deliver turnkey lines solutions. The program includes single and twin screw extruders in sizes 30-160 mm, cooling lines, calibration, draw works, cutting equipment, UV printing equipment, etc. Welcome to challenge us! 4
Prodicon International Batch off and cooling lines etc. One of the world s largest manufacturers of Batch-Off s for the rubber industry. Their range includes for example - Batch off s - Cooling lines - Stackers - Cutters to feed mixers and open mills. - Slabs cutting (off-line and on-line) Rep International Rubber injection molding machines and presses G10 Rep is currently working hard to expand its new series "Generation 10", which was presented for the first time during the K-2013, which is the result of many years of development. It combines improved ergonomics with robust design and re-design of the injection unit for optimal efficiency and productivity. Low and constant working height The rubber in-feed can be accessed from floor level without platform or ladder. This, thanks to the L-shaped injection unit. Optimized insolation and servo driven pump for energy savings. Windows on both the side and rear side of the machine for better overview of the process. 3G modem. Remote access with built-in phone connection. Auto tuning, which means automatic setting of speed, calculated by movements in the machine. Preventative maintenance. The machine automatically recognizes when it is time for service. (A technology that is commonly occurring in modern cars). 21 standing touch screen with the possibility to overview and operate several pages at the same time. Rep will also give a lecture about de-vulcanization of rubber on SGF's Annual Conference! A breakthrough, patented method to thermo-mechanically break down the crosslinks in the cured rubber. A process where no additional chemicals are added. Recycle waste and save money! 5
