Noticed that the medical market is growing significantly, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag is upgrading their electric injection moldign system for the challenging of a rapid rise of electric injection molulding machines demand in the market for the next few years, and enhancing trust with customers amid epidemic prevention and control.

Targeted the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality gaoals which are popular concepts around the world and a massive energy transition is underway, Mr. Scattarreggia estimated that the market share of electric injection molding machines and hydraulic machines will reach 50%:50% by 2030.

Mr. Scattareggia think that conpared to the hydraulic injection molding machine, the electric injection molding machine is not only has a much better energey cost, but also higher product stability and better production efficiency, which will enable the customer to achieve higher profitability.

Because of the stability and precise dimensions of their shot weight, the main markets for electric injection moulding system were concentrated to IT or electronic applications, but growing fast in the medical field and automotive industry.

For the new growing market, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag lineup its first all-electric machine PAC-E which is a new all-electric, high - speed injection molding machine engineered specificall for manufacturers of beverage closures and thin-walled packaging applications with a clamping force of 350T at K2022.

PVC pipe fittings are one of the most commonly used connector in the drainage project and a cold runner designed mold is the most economic solutions for the production of the PVC pipe fittings, but the removal of the runner in result is a labour intensive work. Is there any economic way to remove the runners from the PVC pipe fittings automatically?

PVC Pipe Fittings Runner Cutting Solutions

For the producer of PVC pipe fittings the most economic soluton to remove the runner is with an Air Nipper fixed to the picking robot immediately after the PVC pipe fittings picked out from the mould. The robot will drop the seperated pipe fittings and runner to different containers. Below configuration of SWITEK runner cutting solution for 16 cavities PVC pipe fittings for your reference:

• Injection Molding Machine: HaiTian MA4500
• Picking Robot: SWITEK SW6712S 3 Axis Servo Injection Robot
• Mold Design: 16 Cavities
• Air Nipper: 4pcs
• Cycle Time: 60s

The Air Nipper runner cutting system is an easy to start solution for the producers of PVC pipe fittings, which the Air Nipper would be controlled by the picking robot and is the best solution for the small size PVC pipe fittings (with a diameter around φ25mm). Anyway it also must be custom made according to the mold design.
