Many so-called “low carbon footprint technologies” are already available and could be utilized immediately in plastics processing. But what carbon reduction measures are not only environmentally effective? Using practical examples, gwk shows how the use of efficient temperature-control technology rapidly pays off economically, too.

Even in Difficult Economic Times, It Is Worthwhile Investing in Energy-Efficient Temperature Control

Advantages through Sustainable Temperature-Control Technology

New polymer composites for the production of multi-layer small tubes are being developed to give products specific functions. With suitable co-extrusion dies and a thermal barrier option, even complex layer composites with melt temperature differences of more than 50 °C can be processed reliably and in high quality.

Refining a Proven Platform

In addition to excellent mechanical characteristics and suitability for recycling, the key feature of hybrid lightweight structures made of fiber-reinforced thermoplastics is that automated, large series production is possible. New mold and process technologies were successfully developed within the scope of the ReLei research project, enabling the production of complex shaped sandwich elements in an efficient combined process.

Making It Big with Small Bubbles

With advanced process integration and a higher degree of automation, the complexity of injection molding processes is cumulative. This trend also increases the demand imposed on control technology. The clearer, more convenient and more intuitive the control system is for the operator, the safer and more efficient it can be to operate even large production plants and manufacturing cells that combine different technologies. Engel now goes one step further with tutorials integrated directly into the control of the injection molding machines.

Single-serve capsules as used, for example, for coffee, are a booming product in the packaging sector. The latest generation of capsules is injection molded and includes an integrated barrier layer to conserve flavor and aroma while saving material compared to alternative manufacturing processes. These complex injection molding parts are produced in high volumes by a Swiss company using Arburg machines.

Certain optical textiles can create a three-dimensional light effect from an LED light source. The textiles are used in interior design and in booth construction and are stretched freely on frames for this purpose. In order to protect the fabric from external influences, it should be back-molded with plastic. Thus a process that do not influence the textile structure must be developed.

As physical foam injection molding reduces the melt viscosity, it can be used for the production of thin-walled components. The material savings are not achieved by foaming the polymer, but rather by realizing lower wall thicknesses. The influence of the gas loading process on viscosity reduction and component quality is investigated using selected polypropylene types and an exemplary container geometry.

Sixth Unit Generation Celebrated Premiere at Fakuma 2021

Comprehensive standard equipment, lifetime warranty on key components – HB-Therm presented at Fakuma 2021 the new Series 6 generation of temperature control units.

Comprehensive standard equipment, lifetime warranty on key components – HB-Therm presented at Fakuma 2021 the new Series 6 generation of temperature control units. With the Thermo-6 temperature control units, the Swiss company has also further developed equipment technology, improved energy efficiency and expanded digital services.

According to HB-Therm CEO Reto Zürcher, insights such as the practicality of the units in daily use and a brilliant touchscreen for convenient operation with modern designs and colors were not only derived from a comprehensive market analysis, but also from collaboration with key customers who brought the needs of injection molders into the evolution phase. “Our thoughts were influenced not only functionally but also visually. In addition, of course, we verified our findings repeatedly in practice for their suitability for everyday use. For us, highest quality has a clear foundation: And that means testing, testing and testing again!”
