News 22.11.2018

The food packaging machine cell configured with a Venus VEII/p all-electric, high-speed injection molding machine, was the largest machine display ever at Expoplast

Absolute Haitian showed the largest injection molding machine display at Expoplast 2019 in Montreal, proof of its commitment to the Canadian and packaging markets. An in-mold labeling system from sister company ARI was paired with a Zhafir VE II 2300/430 “p” high-speed packaging machine making food serving cups in a 3-second cycle. The most attractive feature is the price of the system, which is 30% lower than competitive systems.

The food serving cup application featured an in-mold labeling cell consisting of:
•   High-speed, side-entry automation
•   Zhafir VEII 2300/430 “p” high-speed, all-electric molding machine (259 U.S. tons) with configurable IOs, Euromap 67 robot interface, and five 12-mm air valves to interface with the labeling automation
•   Four-cavity yogurt cup mold
•   18-gram (0.63 ounces) shot size
•   Cycle time of 3 seconds
