Injection molding machine manufacturer Ferromatik Milacron will present its F-Series model configured for packaging at (booth 2803). Each of the five machine axes can be powered by either hydraulic or electric drives and these can be combined in whatever manner suits the manufacturing requirements of the user. At NPE, the machine will feature electrically driven clamping and plasticizing movements with hydraulic drives for ejection, carriage, and injection.
The F80, with a clamping force of 800 KN, features a size 40 Advanced Performance (AP) injection unit and a three-zone screw with a diameter of 40.mm and an L/D ratio of 22. With this configuration, the machine delivers injection speeds up to 500 mm/sec. The F80 offers tie-bar spacing of 470 by 470 mm and will use a 2-cavity mold from Collomb to produce round lids in a cycle time of 2.7 seconds. The parts have a diameter of 110 mm, a wall-thickness of 0.52 mm, and weigh 7g each. The lids will be used for re-usable 0.6-liter containers for foods such as yogurt, cream, or ice cream. Since its debut at K 2010, Ferromatik Milacron has brought five models in the new F-Series to market: the F80, F120, F160, F200 and F350.
