AMUT Group boosts technical service in Vietnam, Indonesia

AMUT Group has been consolidating and intensifying its complete onsite support to   existing and potential customers via technical service points in Vietnam and Indonesia. This strategy is being implemented following great results achieved in the extrusion and thermoforming field in the Southeast Asian region. AMUT has a very good reputation in these countries and even the last model of thermoforming machine has hit the mark: the AMP 850 GP delivers particular light AQUA CUPS ideal to comply the specific exigencies of these markets, such as a volume of 220 ml and a weight of barely 2.5 gr.

AMUT secured two important projects in Indonesia with the in-line version of this model, perfectly fitting the standard tests for filling and sealing water cups and with an output of 96.000 pcs/hour. Reduction of the power and compressed air consumptions is definitely proven.  The in-line system consistes of a single screw extruder EA130 40 L/D, equipped with a new screw design reducing the mechanical stress on the PP during the melting process and granting good results on the cup’s impact test and keeping the max output at 800 kg/h processing till 50% of recycled material; a calender roll equipped with three independent hard chromed polished rolls, with diameter 600 mm with a new concept of internal cooling to guarantee the best heating exchange between polymer and water;  the AMP850 GP thermoforming machine with a mould area of 850 x 550 mm and cutting  force up to 70 tons, equipped with 50-cavity mould off set configuration to reduce the recycled material at only 40%; a pick up stacker capable to reach a production efficiency till 92%; a new in-line grinder composed of a rotor diameter 400 mm and 5+5 blades to increase the cutting frequency and to decrease the power consumption; and a software supervisor for an easy and friendly handling of the machine.

This met with an excellent response from the Vietnam area too. After only two months from the presentation of the VPK-C84 3-stations thermoforming machine during the last Chinaplas show, AMUT has already finalized two contracts in Vietnam: one for a AMP630 thermoforming machine for the production of PP cups (Ø 85 mm) and the other for a VPK-C84 delivering PP and PET lids with diameter 85 mm and 95 mm.
