Fakuma 2014: Milacron highlights pellet-to-part lineup

Friedrichshafen-Milacron LLC, the leading global manufacturer of plastics processing equipment and technologies, introduced its latest innovations at Fakuma 2014. At Fakuma, the Milacron brands highlight cutting-edge technologies that benefit customers across several industries, including automotive, medical/pharmaceutical, food and beverage packaging, amongst others.

Milacron brands Mold-Masters (Hall A5, Booth 5205), Ferromatik Milacron (Hall B3, 3203) and DME (Hall A2, 2317) collectively present the latest products and solutions designed to meet all their customers’ unique needs.

“Fakuma 2014 visitors will get a glimpse into the full breadth of products Milacron offers, and see how they can work together to deliver unparalleled performance for customers in Germany and around the globe”, says John Gallagher III, COO Milacron, Melt Delivery & Control Systems / Fluid Technologies / Finance and Shared Services - Mold-Masters, DME, Cimcool. “Conference attendees will experience the excellence intrinsic in our pellet-to-part solutions and our unwavering commitment to service for our customers.”

Mold-Masters, the global leader in melt delivery and control systems, features product enhancements to their medical and automotive solutions, controller technologies and auxiliary injection units at Fakuma 2014. It presents the most complete E-Multi product range ever, which now covers all needs for multi-material injection moulding on single material machines. E-Multi runs live in the Ferromatik booth on a Hybrid Ferromatik Milacron F-280.

 For Ferromatik Milacron, this year's Fakuma activities focus on multi-component and medical techniques as it showcases a complete system consisting of a Ferromatik Milacron F 280 injection moulding machine with Kortec Co-injection Molding technology and a Mold-Masters injection unit. The system components are controlled in such a way that both melts are prepared in the injection units and are then overlaid across the hot runner, using the closing needle technique to solidify it into a barrier packaging inside the mold. For applications in the medical parts sector, Ferromatik Milacron presents a fully automated production cell with an F 120 hybrid injection moulding machine at the heart of the unit. With its highly efficient needle singularizing system and a 4-fold mould, the machine produces disposable syringes with needles without the need for glue.

DME, an essential mold technology resource and key partner for standard and non-standard products for the plastics industry, demonstrates innovations in its top four technology areas: (1) High-Precision Custom Mold Bases, (2) Applied Technologies, (3) DME Direct and (4) Surface Finishing.
