A European hydraulic engineering company is set to showcase its new motors at Interplas this month (September 30th-October 2nd).
Yuken Europe, which is based in Merseyside, UK, will be showcasing its new-generation ASE Servo motor, which boost both the energy and production efficiencies of modern and older plastic injection moulding machines, according to Managing Director Mannie Saunders.
"All the large plastics-related companies will be at [Interplas], from plastic product manufacturers to injection moulding machinery makers including our recent German-based customer Sumitomo (SHI) Demag," said Saunders.
"As well as showcasing Yuken’s new-generation ASE Servo motor to manufacturers of new injection moulding machines," he added, "we also want to show how owners of older machines can benefit directly by retro fitting our ASE units onto their current plastic injection machines.
"It will allow the owners to understand many of the significant benefits of this technology with improved energy usage, production quality and production efficiencies for a fraction of the cost of buying new plastic injection machines. Our servo drive units substantially cut the amount of wastage, rejections and emissions.
"There are many manufacturers in the UK and globally which use plastic injection moulding machines. So the market has great potential and we intend to drive our sales through highlighting the benefits of these motors."
Earlier this year, Yuken Europe secured a deal to supply parts to Sumitomo (SHI) Demag, one of the largest and most respected manufacturers of plastic injection moulding equipment. The Speke-based firm is exporting more than 250 units for use in a number of machines at the German firm's base in Schwaig. The contract marked Yuken’s advance into the European injection moulding industry and as it continues to target a number of regions.
