BOY has created presentations of six interesting applications, which will showcase its innovative performance diversity.
Starting on 28 September 2020, the six planned Fakuma- highlights will be available to interested visitors in the BOY-Technical Center.
BOY asks for a prior registration in order to consequently implement and adhere to the Corona-related behaviour.
The presentation will start with a BOY XXS and a BOY XS, which will demonstrate with injection units of different sizes the entire performance range of the two compact injection moulding machines. The BOY XXS with an 8 mm diameter reciprocating plasticizing screw produces a small toothed gear with 0.2 g part weight made of PA 6.
In contrast, the BOY XS is equipped with the largest possible injection unit.
A compact production line - consisting of a BOY 35 E, the specially developed linear handling system BOY LR 5 and a protective housing according to Euromap 78 - demonstrates the automated production of delicatessen trays made of a PLA which is 75 % biologically degradable. The delicatessen trays produced with this material are removed from the open mould by the BOY-Handling LR 5 and then placed on a conveyor belt. The entire production unit only requires a footprint of less than 4.8 m².
The technical highlight in the BOY-Technical Center - a BOY 80 E hybrid with an electromechanically driven injection unit (E - Drive) - produces beautifully shaped design plates made of so-called "Ocean-Plastic" by Tide Ocean SA. The Swiss company has cooperation partners collect used plastic parts - mainly empty PET-bottles - from the world's oceans, islands, and coastal areas. The plastic products thus collected are sorted, washed, shredded and then transported to Switzerland. In a multi-stage process, the material is prepared without additives in a mechanical process for reprocessing.
The new two-pump-technology enables the parallel functions of "closing mould" and "injection" of the melted plastic material into the locking mould.
In total, BOY produces five interesting product videos of the exhibition applications in the BOY-Technical Center.
