5 www.smart-molding.com contents “The SmartPower injection molding machines offer extremely precise machine movements together with strong dynamism and high efficiency” says Cássio Luis Saltori, Managing Director of WITTMANN BATTENFELD do Brasil. “With these attributes, the series is predestined for use in the particularly price-sensitive production of upmarket cosmetics packaging.” The drive-on-demand technology combines fast-responding motors with powerful constant displacement pumps to enable extremely fast and simultaneously precise machine movements. Digital light processing machines produce high-quality Big on quality. Small in footprint. The new INTRAVIS’ CapWatcher Compact combines a sorting, feeding and inspection unit for the quality control of plastic closures in a single, compact solution. Based on many talks with the customers, the system addresses one of the largest problems in modern production facilities – the availability of space! The CapWatcher Compact saves up to 50% of the floor space compared to conventional solutions and simultaneously maintains INTRAVIS’ renowned commitment to quality. 16 26 12 Innovative Shadowfree technology as module element eliminates shadow formations in valve gate systems. In conventional injection moulding, undesirable, poorly flowing areas often occur in the hot runner due to roughness around the valve pin. This results in degradation reactions in the plastic melt and exceptionally long colour transitions. The innovative Shadowfree technology as module element eliminates the flow shadows in valve gate systems and enables a significantly faster colour change in the hot runner. To all industries relying on high-performance thermoplastics, BASF is now offering the world’s first biomass-balanced polyethersulfone (PESU). Ultrason® E 2010 BMB contributes to substituting fossil resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing the use of renewable feedstock. This unique PESU enables customers in industries as diverse as household and catering, automotive, electrics and electronics (E&E), healthcare as well as water and sanitary to differentiate their products from the competition. 24
