Horizontal injection molding machine XTREME

hydraulicfor bottle pre-form manufacturing

XTREME is a rotary platform for manufacturing preform at high productivity and efficiency. With this revolutionary injection-compression molding system, SIPA has taken PET preform production into a new dimension. XTREME permits the highest L/t ratios in the industry, enabling you to produce preforms that are 8% lighter than even the lightest preform produced by conventional injection molding. HIGHLIGHTS Lowest TCO in the industry Highest ratio (L/T), design freedom Totally oil free Significantly reduced footprint Reduced material stress due to lower injection pressure: low AA content and IV drop In line preforms inspection: 100% camera quality control Simultaneous production of two different preforms Less material: 8%lighter preforms without losing any key properties Extremely quick mold changeover(1 minute per cavity) PLASTIFICATION Main features of extruder unit: Electrically-driven screw extruder motors and motion Pure extrusion process without shooting pot Optimization of plasticizing screw with true continuous rotation to reduce consumptions and AA levels Possibility to use PET recycled flakes up to 50% without any modifications to standard plastification group ROTARY INJECTION-COMPRESSION Rotary molding wheel: Modular design of the wheel and of the press module Reduced cavity tonnage for reduced mold wear (max 2 ton) Mold safety: intrinsic protection; each mold can remain open Easy maintenance: each module can be fast removed (20 minutes per station) The use of single cavity dosimeter allows the simultaneous production of 2 different preforms Preforms exit aligned, so can be sorted in different bins
