Cooperating with Sumitomo Demag, acmeplas on show turn-key IML solutions of cups with Microcellular injection molding, the technology to produce a weight reduced thick-wall IML cups with enhanced strength.

The microcellular injection technology is a technology of injection molding by injecting Co² during plastic injection to produce a cellular structure to reduce the weight of the parts but maintence or even enhance the strength of the parts. It's originally introduced into the production of the automotive parts to reduce the use of the material and increace capability of shork absorption. By introduce this technology to the production of the cups it'll help to reduce the heat transmission of the hot drinks.

Established in 1997, acmeplas is one of the earliest distributors of injection molding machinery in China and started the manufacturing of IML robot around 2013 designated to provide customers with a turn-key solutions of injection molding. Other than IML solutions, acmeplas will also provide turn-key solutions of cutlery packing and automation solutions of other thin-wall containers.

Systec 210/580-800C, the injection molding machine of the system on show, is a star high speed injection molding machine manufactured by Sumitomo Demag for the thin-wall containers production. Demag injection molding machine is also one of the representatives of the cutting edge injection molding technology in the world.

PVC/PPR ball valve is a very important pipe fittings in the drainage system in control of the water flow. But the injection production of a ball valve it'll need to insert the core of the valve with the sealing ring into the mold. The in mold insertion of the spare parts would be done manually which the cost is increasing with the getting higher labour cost and difficult to increase the productivity. That's why LESSO group invited SWITEK Automation to develop a series of pipe fittings auto-production solutions, among which include the Ball Valve Core Insertion System.

Designated to design an economic but efficient automation solution of ball valve injection production, the SWITEK 4 cavities ball valve in mold insertion solutions include the following functions:

• The O Ring sorting and inserting
• The ball valve core sorting and inserting
• The ball valve picking
• The runner cutting
• The turning of the ball valve core

The functions above will ensure that the system will produce the PVC/PPR ball valve automatically.
