Arburg will present injection moulding technology for sophisticated packaging applications at the Plastics & Rubber Indonesia trade fair, to be held from 15 to 18 November 2017: a Packaging version of an Allrounder 570 H will produce two thin-walled containers with a capacity of 500 millilitres each in a cycle time of only around six seconds.
"Plastics & Rubber Indonesia is the largest and most important trade fair in our country," emphases Haryadi Mulyono, Managing Director of Arburg Indonesia. "We are using a high-speed packaging application to show that our high-end machines operate very reliable, cost-effectively and with great precision."
Hybrid Allrounder Hidrive
The Arburg exhibit at Plastics & Rubber Indonesia 2017, a Packaging version of a hybrid Allrounder 570 H with a clamping force of 1,800 kN and a size 800 injection unit, features injection moulding technology specially optimised for the packaging industry. Using a 2-cavity mould from Pass Card, two 500 millilitre microwavable food containers are produced in a cycle time of just six seconds. The weight of the PP moulded parts is 17 grams.
The hybrid Allrounders of the Hidrive series impress by combining hydraulic and electric machine components for high performance. They operate very cost-effectively and remain highly productive and energy-efficient. This is ensured in particular by the combination of high-speed servo-electric toggle, electric dosing and hydraulic accumulator technology. This facilitates accurate, dynamic injection at a high performance level. Simultaneous machine movements ensure reduced cycle times.
Special packaging version
The Allrounders in the Packaging version feature a special combination of "distance between tie bars, clamping force and opening stroke" and are tailored to the efficient mass production of packaging items. An important feature for high-speed operation is powerful ejection, which is synchronised with the mould movement and ensures the particularly precise and reproducible falling of moulded parts. Further features include extremely short dry cycle times for the servo-electric toggle-type clamping unit with energy recovery during deceleration and the simultaneous production processes programmable via the Selogica control system, such as dosing across cycles.

The machine base is designed for very high loads, while the FEM-optimised mounting platens combine high rigidity with low weight. The highly wear-resistant cylinder modules are equipped with position-regulated barrier screws.
Special features are available for the production of thin-walled parts and screw caps, enabling the Packaging machines to be individually adapted to the relevant application.
Arburg present in Indonesia since 1993
Arburg has been active in Indonesia since as far back as 1993, initially through a representative office, and with a fully-owned organisation since 2006. The principal applications for customers are high-quality packaging, precision technical parts and LSR processing. The team, which now numbers eleven members, offers an extensive range of services, expert consultation and prompt local support. This includes machine commissioning, as well as fault rectification and preventive maintenance. In the automation sector, the subsidiary closely cooperates with the experts from the German Turnkey Department, for example, as well as local partners to design and implement customised turnkey projects for their customers.
