Acmeplas on Show IML Solutions of 16 Cavities Yogurt Cups at Chinaplas 2025

Turn-key IML Solutions

From IML to packing, acmeplas automation on show turn-key solutions of 16 cavities IML cups injection molding at Chinaplas 2025 with Systec 420, the high speed injection molding machine produced by Sumitomo Demag.

With the popularity of Yogurt in China, the producers of IML containers for Yogurt are pursuming solutions of IML with more cavities for a higher productivities to win out in this mostly competitive market in China. An IML system of 16 cavities would be a challenge to both the hotrunners balance of the mould and the labeling stablity of the IML robot but would be an economic configuration for an IML system with vision control and packing system, which will help to maximize the production capacity of the two units.

With System 420, the high speed injection molding machine produced by Sumitomo Demag, it'll provide a stable injection molding with a minimal cycle of around 6s to ensure the productivities of the IML system.

Any way, an IML system of 16 cavities with vision control and packing will only be suitable for the none stopping production of the IML containers with single size and style. For small and medium sized producers of IML containers, an IML robot with a fast changeable magazine and EOAT would be a better solutions for the fast changing marketing.

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.
