From IML to packing, acmeplas automation on show turn-key solutions of 16 cavities IML cups injection molding at Chinaplas 2025 with Systec 420, the high speed injection molding machine produced by Sumitomo Demag.

With the popularity of Yogurt in China, the producers of IML containers for Yogurt are pursuming solutions of IML with more cavities for a higher productivities to win out in this mostly competitive market in China. An IML system of 16 cavities would be a challenge to both the hotrunners balance of the mould and the labeling stablity of the IML robot but would be an economic configuration for an IML system with vision control and packing system, which will help to maximize the production capacity of the two units.

With System 420, the high speed injection molding machine produced by Sumitomo Demag, it'll provide a stable injection molding with a minimal cycle of around 6s to ensure the productivities of the IML system.

Any way, an IML system of 16 cavities with vision control and packing will only be suitable for the none stopping production of the IML containers with single size and style. For small and medium sized producers of IML containers, an IML robot with a fast changeable magazine and EOAT would be a better solutions for the fast changing marketing.

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.
