A new cooling system ensures perfect temperatures whilst a fully automatic tool temperature regulation results in a 30% longer tool life compared to its predecessor. Along with this comes a steady product quality with an approximate 10% increased output.
The quality of the products is determined by several factors, but the KTR 5.1 Speed scores highly when it comes to certain key factors, with its improved process parameters due to the implementation of innovative ideas.
Cups, caps and capsules
The improved forming air system allows faster filling and venting of all cavities and thus supports a faster, more precise forming process for products such as:
- Yoghurt cups,
- Drinking cups,
- Coffee capsules,
- Cups for snap caps, and
- Plant pots, to name a few.
The film transport system is also optimised with sophisticated film spreading and a feed table which protects the material surface.
There are also innovative developments on the software side in terms of process monitoring, intuitive forming process settings, ‘Smart Startup’ and the ‘on-the-fly’ feature, smooth transfer from forming to stacking.
The robust cast steel forming and punching station has the necessary high cutting force for high-precision forming and punching operations with increased cutting length. As a result, more cavities can be arranged, facilitating higher output of cups.
A servomotor driven pre-stretching ensures uniform material distribution all the way to the cup bottom.
In combination with the efficient PUS series stacking machines and automation solutions, from the film roll to the packaging carton, Kiefel completes the tailor-made production line with a KTR 5.1 Speed – all from a single source.
Kiefel has a global presence with branches in the US, France, the Netherlands, Russia, China, Brazil, Indonesia and India.
