Waldorf Technik is focusing on the topic of the ‘Spacesaving production of pipette tips’ in Hall B2, Booth 2204 at this year’s Fakuma in Friedrichshafen, taking place from 17 to 21 October 2017.
The Vario TIP FSS system with its slimline design opens the market to MedTec injection moulders in new performance classes, without the need for more cleanroom space. The system is flexible for a variety of part geometries and can process up to 128 cavities, sorted by cavity, in packaging units.
The Vario tip system is characterised by its level of freedom for different tool configurations and packaging units. The manufacturer is completely free in choosing the packaging size, regardless of the number of cavities in the moulding tool. The automation can be easily applied without difficulty to different moulds, from 8 to 128 cavities, as well as to different packaging sizes (e.g. racks with 96 or 384 parts or trays with 120 parts).

The new Vario TIP FSS has extremely reduced surface requirements. Waldorf Technik has succeeded in halving the area required by the basic system. Tool and product quality are maintained, as are functionality and variability.
Waldorf Technik also will show its projects from the IML packaging sector with short cycle times. The modern world of packaging is now inconceivable without in-mould labelling, as the brilliant printing and the cost-efficient flexibility of this decorative process is quite simply highly attractive for a variety of print images. The product range now covers five different standard series that meet an array of customer needs such as reduced vest, stack IML moulds, highly reduced space requirements, as well as systems for both consumer goods packaging and bulk packs.
Holger Kast, Sales Manager at Waldorf Technik, said: “The danger of threads being formed when using efficient stack moulds is reduced by injecting the containers from the outside. Manufacturers who have so far been producing on single-face moulds for reasons of quality, can now achieve almost twice the output in the same space and on the same injection-moulding machine. Compared with IML containers already being made with stack moulds, the future outside gating is expected to result in shorter cooling times for many products and thus also a higher output.”
