Netstal cuida el entorno en la fabricación de envasesPresented at Interpack an Elion which saves energy and skills to produce packaging of PLA
Netstal takes care of the environment in the manufacturing of packaging
April 28, 2008
With the slogan "low energy, high-performance"
Netstal exposes for the first time at Interpack, Düsseldorf, 24 to 30 April fair. At its stand exposed an Elion already entrenched in the market and the application that you can see is a piece of thin walls which demonstrates the benefits of this series of electric machines.
An application for the sector of the container and packaging, using an Elion 1750, demonstrates the high efficiency of the series of fully electric machines of this Swiss constructor of machines. This is a package of 500 g, molded into a cycle of less than 4 seconds in a cast of two cavities of the German company Steiert. The article in question is carried out with a polypropylene of Basell and incorporates an IML (In-Mould-Labelling) process during the fair. Insert tags and the removal of the mold products is carried out by means of a device for manipulation of Messrs Ilsemann, Germany, while the food is done with a team of Motan, Germany.
Electrical machines for the Elion series injection moulding takes into account environmental aspects, such as noise, emissions and energy savings. Allow the process of braking energy recovery through an intermediate loop, to provide it to other axis. An example: at the opening of the mold, the slowdown of the plate from the mobile phone mold before the final position creates an energy of braking. Thanks to the recovery, this energy can be used to trigger the spindle of plasticizing for the dosed. Thus, most of the energy required to power the machine is obtained from the single axle braking processes. You can save up to 50 per cent of the total costs of energy, finally resulting in lower costs of production.
The absence of emissions is achieved through a system of closed greasing of the unit's closure of the mold and cast resin and water-cooled electric motors. Therefore, the Elion is suitable for use in cleanroom.
Processing plastics generated from renewable resources
Netstal is currently emphasising its capabilities in the area of the processing of plastics generated from renewable resources. In the fair has a specific area to report on this issue that already has a very valuable experience and show products injected with PLA.
