Sumitomo (SHI) Demag, the Brazilian subsidiary of the German-Japanese machine builder, is all set to introduce a fully electric SE 280 HSZ with 2,800 kN clamping force for packaging applications.
The injection molding machine will produce 1.5l containers with IML labels in a two-cavity mold. Weighing 41g, the containers are made from polypropylene, have a wall thickness of 0.75mm and are produced with a cycle time of 5.8 seconds.
According to the company, the peripherals consist of a compact two-circuit cooling machine from Mecalor in Brazil, a conveyor belt from Crizaf as well as a material conveyor and ink dosing machine from Moretto in Italy.
The machine has the advantages of an all-electric machine combined with injection speeds of 350mm/sec and an injection pressure up to 2745 bar.
It also consists of a nozzle-touch system with contact force of up to 6.61t and its SM screw permits low-shear plasticizing and thorough mixing at low temperatures.
The system is available with three clamping forces in the range from 2200 kN to 3500 kN and will be introduced at the Feiplastic from 20 to 24 May in So Paulo.
