Show Information and Thematic Booklets

CM64MD Rotary Compression Molding Press For Flat Top Caps Production

SACMI

With a productivity increase of +50% compared to current standards, CCM64MD achieves a production performance never seen before: up to 2,850 capsules per minute, or 171,000 caps per hour, with only 64 molds. With this very high capacity, a single CCM64MD satisfies two of the fastest bottling lines on the market (80,000 bottles/hour)
CCM64MD reduces specific energy consumption by 15% compared to previous generations of CCMs, which were already market leaders in this area. This manufacturer's new benchmark is 0.43 kWh/kg, which, in terms of emissions, corresponds to the saving of 8 tons of CO₂ equivalent every year with the same production. With the advantages of productivity and sustainability, CCM64MD maintains the ease of use that makes SACMI machines the market standard. In fact, the operation of this new CCM is the same as the machines currently on the market. Moreover, the newly designed HMI shortens the operator's learning curve, making process control even easier and more intuitive.

SK73 MT Twin Screw Extruder

NANJING KYMACH TECHNOLOGIES CORP., LTD.

The specific torque density reaches 15 Nm/cm³, with a maximum screw speed of 900 rpm. The compact structure enables low noise levels (≤80 dB(A)), and the transmission efficiency is ≥95%.
The barrel features a nickel-based powder alloy sintered liner, which is wear- and corrosion-resistant and patent-pending. The new spiral cooling channel enhances cooling efficiency and minimizes deformation. For temperature control, it is equipped with an imported CO-AX coaxial valve, while heating is provided by an imported heating rod, ensuring high efficiency and long service life. The screw elements are made of hot isostatic pressed (HIP) material, offering 2-3 times the wear and corrosion resistance compared to domestic materials. The screw shaft is constructed from high-strength, high-toughness imported alloy steel, delivering excellent mechanical properties. With an optimized overall design, the system enhances transmission efficiency and operational stability.

Large Area Thermoforming Machine FLC- 415PC6.1-Q3EX - High-Speed Thermoforming Of Biodegradable Material (Polylactic Acid CPLA) Cup Lids

ASANO LABORATORIES CO., LTD.

With Asano's advanced heat-set technology, the mold temperature can be set to 120°C, ensuring that formed products maintain their shape without deformation. The key advantage is that it enhances the heat resistance of polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable material, allowing it to withstand temperatures of up to 100°C under special conditions.

Low Glossy ABS (High matte and skin-friendly texture ABS Plastic)

LG CHEM

LG Chem's Low Glossy ABS can provide superior matte and skin-friendly texture, and cost reduction and efficiency. It is can be used in the case of high-gloss mold, so that the final injection product has a high-level matte texture, the gloss can be ensured in 10~20º (degree). Low Glossy ABS is mainly used in high-end home appliances and other fields.
At the same time, matte ABS is closer to skin texture than high-gloss ABS, so it is also known as skin-friendly ABS. At present, LG Chem‘s matte ABS has been widely used in the world's leading home appliance companies and has been well received.

Plastic Air Tank

BASF (CHINA) CO., LTD.

A commercial vehicle air tank co-created with WAL Low Carbon Technology (Anhui) Co. Ltd (WAL) and made with BASF's high-performance material solution Ultramid® polyamide. The innovative solution achieves a weight reduction of 10-20% compared to aluminum alternatives and over 50% compared to steel versions. Production of the air tank is also more energy efficient, since it only needs a one-piece injection molding process. This eliminates the need for secondary welding operations that are typically required for metal versions. Combined with its high burst pressure resistance above 50 bar (5MPa), the solution demonstrates consistent product quality and reliability in this demanding application.
