Process
The PVC (electricity cable) regrind is loaded from three bag-silos to the machine, coloured and checked for metal (Ferro) components. Due to the large volume and weight of the products in combination with the contaminated raw material, a special injection unit has been developed.
The hot runner mold, made of a special steel alloy, is constructed in such a way that the cycle time is relatively short for the large wall thickness of the product.
A six-axis robot takes the parts out of the mold and places them, after correct-wrong selection given by the SPC monitoring in the control, in a specially developed cooling station. In sequence, the products are then taken out of the cooling station again and stacked on pallets, which has been supplied and discharged automatically by a chain conveyor.
Cooperation
During several meetings with the customer, the entire project was discussed technically and financially and summarized in an non-committal offer. After the order, Hacoplast has managed the entire project management and implementation and has delivered the project Turn-Key. After delivery, the customer’s operators were trained.
The Turn-Key solution contained the following components: Injection moulding machine, mould, 6-axis robot, silos, hopper loaders, metal detection, colouring equipment, machine and mold coolers, two cooling stations, chain conveyors and safety fence. In addition, the total integration, software/control, project management and production start.
