Acmeplas On Show IML Solutions with Microcellular Technology at Chinaplass

Turn-key IML Solutions

Cooperating with Sumitomo Demag, acmeplas on show turn-key IML solutions of cups with Microcellular injection molding, the technology to produce a weight reduced thick-wall IML cups with enhanced strength.

The microcellular injection technology is a technology of injection molding by injecting Co² during plastic injection to produce a cellular structure to reduce the weight of the parts but maintence or even enhance the strength of the parts. It's originally introduced into the production of the automotive parts to reduce the use of the material and increace capability of shork absorption. By introduce this technology to the production of the cups it'll help to reduce the heat transmission of the hot drinks.

Established in 1997, acmeplas is one of the earliest distributors of injection molding machinery in China and started the manufacturing of IML robot around 2013 designated to provide customers with a turn-key solutions of injection molding. Other than IML solutions, acmeplas will also provide turn-key solutions of cutlery packing and automation solutions of other thin-wall containers.

Systec 210/580-800C, the injection molding machine of the system on show, is a star high speed injection molding machine manufactured by Sumitomo Demag for the thin-wall containers production. Demag injection molding machine is also one of the representatives of the cutting edge injection molding technology in the world.

Injection Automation Application -- Side Entry Petri Dishs Injection Molding Automation Solution

SIDE ENTRY PETRI DISH PACKING SOLUTION

Introduction of SWITEK Side Entry Petri Dish Packing System

The SWITEK side entry petri dish packing system is a custom made automation system for the stable production of laboratory consumable plastic petri dish with the picking robot, the petri dish assembly, stacking, packing unit etc. integrated as auniformed system for the efficient and stable production of the petri dish. The system can be custome made for a petri dish mold layout design of 2+2, 4+4, 6+6, 8+8 etc.

Functional Units of SWITEK Top Entry Petri Dish Packing System

(1) -- Side Entry Robotic Arm: The picking arm of the packing system in handling the picking of the petri dish from the injection molding machine and place them on the assembly unit.
(2) -- Injection Mold: The core injection unit to shape the petri dish, it can be 2+2, 4+4, 6+6, 8+8 configuragion of the petri covers and bottoms.
(3) -- Petri Dish Assembly Unit: Have the cover and bottom of the petri dish assembled and drop it on the conveyor.
(4) -- Sorting Conveyor: Lined the assembled petri dish sets for stacking before packing.
(5) -- Stacking Station: Have the well assembled petri dishes stacked up as requested (5/10/15/20/25 sets etc.).
(6) -- Petri Dish Packing Unit: Have the well stacked petri dish packed and sealed with optional function of vacuume the bag.
(7) -- Petri Dish Transfer Robot: Catch the well sealed petri dish bag and drop it to the conveyor.
(8) -- Petri Dish Dropping Conveyor: Deliver the well packed petri dish.
(9) -- Injection Molding Machine: The injection unit of the whole syste.
