Arburg will be presenting its portfolio for elastomer processing at the German Rubber Conference DKT in Nuremberg, Germany.
Arburg
With its presence at the DKT in Nuremberg, Arburg has its sights firmly set on manufacturers of elastomer components as well as processors of rubber, HCR and liquid silicone (LSR). It sees great potential in fields such as the automation of silicone processing and multi-component technology, as well as e-mobility, fuel cells and medical technology.
Energy and production efficiency on an Allrounder 570 A
The energy- and production-efficient injection moulding of solid silicone (HCR) will be demonstrated by an electric Allrounder 570 A with a clamping force of 2,000 kN and a size 400 injection unit. The material processed will be Elastosil R plus 4001/70 from Wacker Chemie. Dosing system ACH Turnmix, now available in M and L versions along with the proven S size, provides constant and bubble-free feed at continuous pressure. This enables this production of silicone parts ranging from small to large shot volumes. The exhibit will be equipped with the new M size, which is particularly suitable for medium-sized injection units and HCR with a wide range of Shore hardnesses. The cavities of the 4-cavity mould will be injected directly via a cold runner system. This prevents burr formation and avoids the need for finishing work on the injection moulded parts.
As part of the silicone equipment package, the injection unit features a special screw geometry, cylinder temperature control and nozzle technology. The equipment, which is precisely adapted to the processing of solid silicones, transforms the Allrounder in conjunction with the ACH Turnmis into a compact and cost-effective injection moulding solution.
