A Polish pharmaceutical company is developing inhalation therapy for the treatment of lung disease and the appropriate drug delivery drug. The inhaler has a complex interior and consists of 14 components. In order to be able to produce these with the required precision, Celon Pharma has formed a partnership with the mold making company Glittenberg and its hot runner sister Witosa.

Pipette tips feature a challenging wall thickness/length ratio, an inner geometry that is key for analysis results, and a tip opening just a few tenths of a millimeter wide. They have been in extremely high demand during the coronavirus pandemic, which is why the mold construction and hot runner specialist Männer has developed a mold with an innovative cluster concept.

Maintenance During (Nearly)  Uninterrupted Production

The new Reverse Cube developed by Foboha manufactures various components or multi-component parts from varying materials in one step and assembles individual parts into finished products independently from the cycle time using an integrated handling robot. The automated process improves quality, accelerates cycle times by up to 40 % compared to separate injection molding and assembly processes, and thus enables substantial productivity gains at lower costs.

The Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) at RWTH Aachen University is investigating a new control approach for injection molding in which the cavity pressure is controlled by different positions of the hot runner valve pin. The influence on the cavity pressure of different strokes in the holding pressure phase is investigated.

In plastics processing, efficient production methods are required, especially for articles with high volumes and exacting quality requirements, and these must be constantly optimized. The container specialist Walther Faltsysteme has been successfully working together with the Austrian moldmaker Haidlmair for many years.

Well-Balanced Hot Runner Technology for LCP Processing

Products intended for use in building services must meet very high quality requirements in terms of both their constituent materials and functionality. A single-cavity mold for a floor grate made by Barku, which appears to be a simple part at first glance, called for a certain level of technical sophistication. This was provided by a moldmaker with the necessary technical understanding and hot-runner manufacturer Witosa who, between them, devised the right solution for what proved nevertheless to be a complex mold.

Starting with the systematic design of manufacturing processes and the precise simulation of part manufacture, through smart tooling technology and sophisticated melt guidance, to efficient mold temperature control, numerous exhibitors have many innovations in the field of tooling technology on offer at K 2019.The current debates concerning marine pollution as well as anthropogenic climate change and its consequences seem to be having an effect at this world-leading trade show for plastics processing in Düsseldorf, Germany. A number of companies are noting the growing customer interest in sustainable, carbon-neutral and resource-efficient modes of production, and offering products and services intended to satisfy this interest.

Disruptive Technology Announced

The ongoing miniaturization of medical applications is yielding parts of ever smaller geometries and weights that are characterized by critical tolerances and high complexity. Generally, after molding, most parts are routed to assembly lines, where they are assembled into modules. This multiplies the risk of potential defects in the end product. Kebo has developed a new needle valve system called MultiValve to specifically address the needs of medical customers.

Kebo has developed a new needle valve system called MultiValve to specifically address the needs of medical customers.

Kebo implemented the new system by deploying its tried-and-true cluster concept. This enabled the development team to utilize the space required by the existing open, compact cluster arrangement for the needle valve. The highly compact cavity spacing maximizes the number of parts produced per mold surface area. Other advantages of the MultiValve system are high gate quality, ease of maintenance, and long service life. The maximum configuration of eight cavities per cluster will be on show at Fakuma – clusters of four and six cavities are also possible, with the exact number depending on the part geometry and the gate position. Another unique feature is the option to shut off individual cavities easily and safely.

All-electric solutions are preferred by the medical market, especially for cleanrooms. MultiValve therefore uses an electric platen to actuate the needle shut-off nozzles. Aside from cleanroom capability, this provides benefits in terms of high precision and repeatability, as well as low wear and high process reliability. What is more, the needle speed can be individually controlled. Alternatively, the drive can be actuated pneumatically.
