We offer our customers complete turnkey production facilities with our one-stop-shopping approach. All injection molding, automation, and assembly processes are integrated there. We will be presenting solutions for this at the K Trade Fair." This new gravimetric feeder line is a dependable, high-performance and efficient solution for feeding pellets and other free-flowing bulk materials in plastics applications, offering a good price/ performance ratio as well as short lead times. The ProRate PLUS single screw feeders can be installed as individual units or in groupings of up to six feeders around a single process intake, depending upon the recipe. Its unique design enables very compact, space-saving configuration so that up to six feeders can be grouped together. 30 43 28 Jomar Corporation, the leading global manufacturer of injection blow molding (IBM) machinery, has significantly upgraded its popular 85-S machine and will be exhibiting it in Dusseldorf at the 2022 K Show, October 19-26, 2022. The new 85-S GEN II will be featured by Jomar at its stand. It boasts servo hydraulics, clamp digital controls, variable frequency drive, and the latest machine controller and color HMI. "We looked at everything on the 85-S and made significant, measurable improvements" notes Carlos Castro, President of Jomar. ENGEL extends its series of linear robots for K 2022 with the new viper 4. What is currently the smallest viper model sees the Austrian injection moulding machine manufacturer and automation expert explore a new approach. The use of low-voltage drive technology significantly boosts the energy efficiency. Now available in eight sizes – for nominal load-bearing capacities between 3 and 120 kg, — the robots can be ideally adapted to the given task.
