Arabplast 2015: Arburg to present high-tech injection molding machines

Arburg is exhibiting at Arabplast in Dubai from 10 to 13 January 2015. At exhibition stand 5C124 in Hall 5, the company will demonstrate its range of injection molding systems geared for the packaging and medical sectors. Trade visitors will also have the opportunity to find out all about the range of Arburg products and services and receive individual consulting from the Arburg experts.

In the UAE, Arburg is represented by its own subsidiary since 2009. As a result of this presence, customers in the Arabian countries receive intensive support from the Ras Al Khaimah site. “We offer them both a comprehensive on-site pre and aftersales service as well as application technology consulting on all areas of injection moulding,” explains the subsidiary’s Managing Director Joachim Branz. “With our high-tech modular hydraulic, hybrid and electric injection moulding machines, we are ideally positioned to implement customised injection moulding solutions and to fully meet the high demands of the Arabian market. For the dominant packaging and medical technology industries we offer specially equipped machines, for example. This is complemented by specific productions cells. Responsibility for each turnkey solution, in which upstream and downstream steps can be integrated, rests completely with Arburg – from consulting and planning through to implementation and commissioning.”

For the packaging industry, the Arburg range includes a “Packaging” (P) version of the hybrid and electric Hidrive and Alldrive high-performance machine series. These machines combine high productivity with reduced energy consumption and are characterized by a well-balanced combination of distance between tie-bars, clamping force and opening stroke. They also provide fast, precise, energy-saving mold movements (through servo-electric toggle-type clamping units), high plasticizing flow rate (through barrier screws and servo-electric dosage drives), dynamic position-regulated screws and effective injection volume flows.

In the field of medical technology, OEMs requirements are met by Arburg's modular product range that production solutions can be configured and adapted to the production requirements of the customers. The equipment options range from a stainless steel clamping unit, clean room modules with air ionisation through to the clamping unit and corrosion-resistant, coated mounting platens. A variety of clean room concepts can also be implemented. These extend from machines and production cells with modular clean room equipment, which are docked to a clean room, through to injection moulding solutions which are fully contained in the clean room.
