Possibilities of hybrid technology in decoration inside the mould
The application that was shown during the Conference has been developed by the company specializing in systems integration IML Robotics - Demag and Wittmann - owned in turn by the company Creaprint, manufacturer of labels, both based in Ibi (Alicante) whatAccording to sources at the company, "offers the user a guarantee of stability, both in the quality of supplies and prices". This system of decoration inside the mould is a finished product which does not require subsequent manipulations. Label is fused with the injected piece, the finish is waterproof and not rockets. The mould has been prepared by the firm ITC Indumat, also based in Ibi, which, according to the Demag firm, "goes to show that access to a high-tech is possible when choosing the appropriate partners and, most importantly"", at a reasonable cost".
'Electrical' presentation
Ordejón also explained the priorities of the multinational Demag for years, passing through "enhance the electrical machine", on the one hand, and by specialization, on the other. In the opinion of the director Manager of Demag, the purely electric machine adapts well to all those technical applications for specific products that require a very fast cycle.
The hybrid machine, such as the exposed at the Conference, has its strengths in the speed, energy savings and the ability to inject very thin-walled.
Currently, the use of electric injection moulding machines follows trends opposite in European and Asian markets. According to information provided by Demag, in Europe they currently represent between 10 and 12 per cent, although the trend is increasing. In Asia, on the other hand, the percentage reaches 90 per cent, while it's electrical machinery "of low-priced and less accuracy".

Demag Spain has sold five hybrid machines this year, so, according to Peter Ordejón, probably it will exceed the six machines sold last year
Production of vases, screw caps and boxes for CDs
More than 200 manufacturers of packaging of Germany plastics and other countries approached the headquarters of Demag Ergotech in Schwaig (Germany) during the Packaging Days organized by this company, where you could see the latest advances in the molding by injection of packaging.
Its six injectors in operation focused especially on application techniques of thin-walled. Together with experts in the construction of moulds and automations, presented complete systems for the production of vessels, CD boxes, screw caps, shells of mobile phones and lids decorated using IML. Fuel the transfer large to exhibit, an Al-Exis S 300/720-2300, produced plugs threaded into a mold of 48 cavities of AWM Mould Tech, with cycles of 6.2 seconds.
An Ergotech-Exis S 100/420-310 pumping platform in PP, a cast of two cavities and a cycle of 2.6 seconds, as well as an Ergotech-Exis S 250/630-2300 equipped with a 4 + 4 - story cast and manufactured boxes for CDs in PS in a cycle of 4.9 seconds could also be seen in operation.
