Arburg packaging
The innovative caps and closures solutions rolling off the production lines at Arburg will take centre stage at the industry giant's upcoming Packaging Days.
The special industry event will be held in Lossburg from November 5th-6th at the company's headquarters and promises delegates an enlightening experience complete with informative presentations and demonstrations.
At the first ever Arburg Packaging Days, the organisation will present innovative injection moulding technology and automation solutions on four hybrid and electric high-performance machines. Combining speed and precision with hydraulic power and dynamics, the packaging version of the hybrid Hidrive series will be shown to be particularly suitable for the efficient large-scale manufacture of thin-walled technology and closures. The demonstration also includes the production of cups with full cover label in the IML process and screw caps that require the use of a 72-cavity mould.
Prominent speakers and guests from all over the world are expected to attend the international packaging technology conference, which will focus on innovations, trends and current market developments.
Arburg's Managing Director Sales Helmut Heinson explained: "Arburg Packaging Days 2014 was designed as a first-class forum for packaging experts from all over the world. Together with eminent speakers and partners, we will present trends and innovations, discuss market developments in the industry and provide an opportunity for the intensive exchange of experiences. We will focus on the topic of production efficiency across the entire value chain."
"Presentations on product design, material selection and automation solutions as well as current developments in mould, machine and process technology are featured alongside practical applications," added Andreas Reich, Senior Sales Manager Packaging. Specific practical examples will be used to demonstrate how Allrounder injection moulding machines can be specially designed for the relevant packaging application.
After the specialist programme and machine presentations, the first day of the conference will conclude with a factory tour and an evening event spent together in the Customer Center. The optional programme includes a tour to the regional well-known Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu brewery and a visit to the company Foboha in Haslach. There, the experts give visitors an insight into the world of cube-mould technology. Besides the presentation of the mould technology, a complex application with an electric Arburg cube-mould machine can be seen in production.
