Compression molding machine CCM series

high-efficiencyenergy-savingfor the packaging industry

Product overview
Compression molding is a high-pressure forming process for thermoplastics. The polymer is plasticized, homogenized and dosed into mould cavities; applied mould pressure can reach up to 400 kg/cm2.

Advantages of compression molding technology

• Higher productivity due to shorter cycle times and faster cooling of parts in the mould.
• Lower energy consumption thanks to reduced extrusion temperatures and lower cooling demands.
• Improved mechanical properties and consistency because plasticization occurs at lower temperatures and without a hot runner.
• More constant part weight and dimensional stability: cooler parts exiting the mould result in reduced shrinkage.
• Rapid, modular maintenance enabled by independent mould cartridges that can be replaced or serviced without stopping the entire line.
• Fast and economical colour changeovers due to a simple plasticizing unit and absence of hot runner systems.

CCM - Continuous Compression Molding Machine
CCM rotary hydraulic presses are engineered for continuous production of thermoplastic parts by compression. Material is fed, plasticized, cut into calibrated pellets and inserted into cavities in a continuous work cycle. Compression molding is established in applications such as beverage caps, representing a significant share of the market.

CCMM - Continuous Compression Multilayer Molding (summary)
The CCMM concept extrudes a flat multilayer pellet, cuts it to length and inserts it into a standard compression mould in a continuous cycle. The multilayer barrier structure and its positioning are preserved from pellet to final part, enabling multilayer barrier caps and taller parts where required.

Inspection & Digital Manufacturing
Vision systems and spark testers are available for inline inspection of caps. Digital packages (Smart Pack, Here, Smart Care) provide production monitoring, data collection and predictive maintenance functions to support Industry 4.0 strategies.
