Resource-saving and risk-free

High-speed production for the medical industry

We will demonstrate our expertise in the medical sector with an El-Exis SP 420 hybrid high-speed machine. In the joint project “Med Cup” together with Zubler Handling AG and Otto-Hofstetter AG, medicine cups made of PP with a capacity of 30 millilitres are manufactured.

The concept of the joint project is to combine maximum energy efficiency with the optimised use of material while ensuring the highest quality. The use of less material allows the mould to cool down more quickly, which means that the injected material solidifies faster and the production cycle can be repeated more quickly and more frequently. The result is an ultra-short moulding process combined with high-speed extraction, enabling the machine to release and analyse 48 cups in less than three seconds.
