In ongoing PlastImagen 2025 in Mexico, Demag working with StackTeck automation on show rPET containers side entry IML Solution with vision control by Demag El-Exis SP420-2500 hybrid injection molding machine.
Recycled PET or rPET containers with IML is getting more and more popular as the food package as an eco-friendly products and high transparency. The IML solutions on show PlastImagen 2025 by Demag and Stackteck is a ultra thin-wall containers of PET with the IML labels supplied by MCC.
Different form the recycled PP material, the PET recycling technology is now a mature technology to produce a food grade recycled PET material for food package. The IML containers made from rPET would be and ideal substitution of of the PP container to reduce the carbon footprint and protect our environment.
As one of the leading automation solutions provider, the StackTeck rPET IML system integrated the online vision cotrol system to ensure that the IML container producer will be able to supply a defect free packages to the food producer.

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?
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:
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.
