Wittmann Battenfeld demos turnkey molding cell at PLASTEC West

Wittmann Battenfeld Inc. (Torrington, CT) is inviting PLASTEC West attendees to stop by booth 4161 and get up and close and personal with its EcoPower molder. The machine will be running with an integrated W818-3D servo robot, a Drymax Aton F70 dryer, three Feedmax S3 loaders, an MAS1-W4748 granulator, a Gravimax B14 blender, and a Tempro Plus D TCU. Visitors to the booth won't leave empty handed—the company will be handing out polyethylene flying discs designed specifically for the event and molded on site.

"Molders want to see equipment making parts, touch the controls, witness tangible differences from what they already have, and experience for themselves what they otherwise might only see in a brochure," said company president David Preusse. PLASTEC West is an opportunity for potential customers in the region to see a Wittmann Battenfeld turnkey molding cell in action, he added.

The EcoPower 55/130 electric molding machine on display features a beltless dual servo precision injection unit, cleanroom-quality self-lubricating toggle clamp, platen movement via high-precision low-friction linear guides, a kinetic energy recovery system, integrated servo driven hydraulics for core pull, a B6 Windows XP–based control system, and integrated peripheral equipment.

PLASTEC West returns to the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA, on Feb. 11 to 13. For more information, check out the PLASTEC West website.
