Husky and KTW aim to show 1+1 = 3

摘要

Plastic closure injection mould producer Kunststofftechnik Waidhofen (KTW) opened its test and technology centre at its Waidhofen an der Thaya, Austria headquarters in April where it ran two of eight 75-55 tonne injection moulding machines. A Demag Elexis 550 produced 1.7g standard closures, with 3.5s cycle time, in a 48-cavity tool at a rate of 1.2m caps/day. A 3.9g two-component in-mould assembled oil cap, with 7.8s cycle time and 180,000 caps/day output, ran on a Ferromatik K-TEC 450-3F machine in a 16+16 KTW mould weighing 7,000kg. It was equipped with eight hydraulic and four pneumatic core-pullers.
