Innovative dosing technology for solid silicone
The new ACH TURNMIX HTV dosing technology offers the possibility to process solid silicone (HTV) in Shore hardnesses between Shore A 20 and Shore A 80. The ACH TURNMIX is designed as a stand-alone system and can communicate with various control systems via existing interfaces. This new automatic dosing system ACH TURNMIX was acknowledged with great interest among Fakuma visitors. In combination with a 4-cavity injection molding tool with ACH cold runner technology, ACH SERVOSHOT® 2G system and needle gate technology, interesting items were manufactured.
Manufacturing luer-lock from plastic instead of glass
At Fakuma 2023, ZAHORANSKY was exhibiting the associated Z.SONIC 16 luer-lock syringe injection mold from the PRIMA Z syringe production system, which can be used to manufacture luer-locks from plastic instead of glass. The advantages of the plastic versions are clear: plastic products are significantly more robust and easier to clean, both in handling and storage, compared to their glass counterparts.
Medical component made with Tritan™ prevents drug mixing
Swedish medical technology company CYTO365 and Eastman worked together to create a new medical component for infusion therapy that lowers patient risk. CYTO365’s founder and CEO Micael Törnblom noticed that, with current infusion treatment, medical professionals could unintentionally mix incompatible drugs during infusion therapy. To help prevent that, the company has developed RondelO™, a turn valve with multiple inlets that stops unintentional mixing. It can connect six drugs, which are given one at a time with flushing fluids in between.
LyondellBasell introduces new plastics made from recycled marine maritime gear
Traditionally, the automotive industry has only utilized recycled maritime plastic in the form of fibers for new vehicle components. However, with the introduction of CirculenRecover PPC TRC 2179N, this recyclate can now be used for the first time in injection molding. This breakthrough opens up new possibilities for the application of recycled plastics. As part of this collaboration, end-of-life fishing nets are collected and meticulously sorted by type. They are then processed to create a high-quality plastic recyclate.
