Hot Runner Technology for Superior Surface Quality in the Automotive Industry

Hot Runner Technology for Superior Surface Quality in the Automotive Industry

Hot runner technology enables injection molded parts with the highest surface quality, as required in particular by the automotive industry. In many applications, systems from Oerlikon HRSflow support cost-efficient, material-saving production with highly precise process control. Examples include a “smart” car rear panel in 2K technology as well as injection-molded light guide elements for which the new, patent-pending CTC gate insert is used. Beyond, the advantages of the company’s FLEXflow technology with servo-controlled needle positioning are demonstrated by the cascade injection molding of headlight covers and the back molding of films in a lightweight construction application.

“Smart” automotive rear panel

The supporting element of a “smart” car rear panel using 2K technology is a frame made of PC/ABS. In the first step, this is injection molded using a hydraulic 2-drop hot runner system from Oerlikon HRSflow. In the second step, the part is overmolded with PMMA or alternatively PC using a single nozzle from the Ga series. Finally, the part is decorated directly in the mold with a capacitive yet aesthetically pleasing film. In addition to Oerlikon HRSflow, Kurz, ENGEL and Schöfer also contributed to the success of this innovative project, which required, among other things, extensive rheological calculations due to the complex requirements.

Light Guide element

For the injection molding of an automotive light guide element, Oerlikon HRSflow’s new patent-pending CTC gate insert provides optimum properties. It is made of steel with superior mechanical properties and wear resistance. In addition, flash formation is completely avoided thanks to optimum thermal control in the gate area in conjunction with a cylindrical shut-off. Both factors help optimize productivity in the manufacture of the light guide element. Forgiving dimensional requirements simplify machining of the nozzle seat, and a smart solution that allows the gate opening to be renewed with minimal effort facilitates maintenance work. In general, injection molded parts that require a wide process window due to difficult conditions such as low shot volumes, long packing times and high holding pressure values are among the typical applications for the new CTC.

Headlight Bar

LED headlight bars made of crystal-clear polycarbonate (PC) are a proven application of Oerlikon HRSflow’s FLEXflow technology. The systems’ servo motors enable synchronized needle movements for precisely controlled flow front progression during sequential injection molding. Sudden pressure drops that occur when additional gates are opened are perfectly damped, so that the cavities are filled evenly and residual stresses in the molded part are minimized. There is also a high degree of flexibility during the holding pressure phase because the needle closing profile (speed and stroke) can be adapted to meet product dimensional requirements.

Lightweight construction by back-injection molding

The possibilities of hot runner technology in the design of future cockpits are illustrated by a joint project between the Koller Group, Dietfurt, and Oerlikon HRSflow using the example of a laptop housing demonstrator part. A prefabricated and preformed film is back-injection molded with PC using the FIM (Film Insert Molding) process. Mold development was carried out jointly with Koller Formenbau, while the back molding process was developed with the automotive lightweight specialist Koller Kunststofftechnik. While the film was initially displaced below the injection point, this washout effect could be reliably avoided by using and optimizing Oerlikon HRSflow’s electrically controllable FLEXflow hot runner system.

PLASTINDIA 2023: Reifenhäuser Focuses on Safe Recyclate Processing and Automation in Film Production

PLASTINDIA 2023: Reifenhäuser Focuses on Safe Recyclate Processing and Automation in Film Production

The Reifenhäuser Group will showcase its latest solutions for sustainable and efficient blown and flat film production at PLASTINDIA 2023 in New Delhi, India, from February 1 to 5.(Hall 4H-FP, Booth C D 20)

Highlights include the processing of low-quality recyclate into high-quality blown film, the PAM automation option for coextrusion adapters and flat dies, and the production of high-barrier tube film in just one process step. The machine manufacturer will be represented at India’s leading plastics trade show by its Reifenhäuser Blown Film and Reifenhäuser Cast Sheet Coating business units, each specializing in blown film and flat film technologies.

EVO Fusion: safe processing of low recyclate grades

Reifenhäuser Blown Film presents the technical solution to one of the biggest challenges in processing recyclate – the often low and fluctuating quality of the input material. Producers have so far found it difficult to set up a stable production process for higher-quality end products made from recyclate. With EVO Fusion, blown film producers can now process previously unusable, low-cost recyclate into high-performance blown films for end-use applications such as trash bags or mailing bags.

The key lies in the twin-screw technology of the EVO Fusion extruder, which improves melt homogeneity and ensures a stable process. Processors can also degas the system very easily and effectively, removing unwanted components in the recyclate. The EVO Fusion process also enables direct extrusion, which eliminates the need for energy- and cost-intensive regranulation of the material. This means that fluff (film shreds), all types of production waste, and PCR material can also be processed directly. To process better quality regranulate, Reifenhäuser recommends the EVO Ultra single-screw extruder. This machine processes recycled material as reliably
as other raw materials, thanks to optimized barrier as well as shear and mixing parts.

Eugen Friedel, Director Sales at Reifenhäuser Blown Film, explains: “Our technologies for recyclate processing offer the ideal prerequisite for participating on the growing market for products with high recyclate content. Moreover, India already has legal requirements governing the use of recyclate which our customers can easily meet thanks to EVO Fusion.”

PAM option: automated adjustment of coextrusion adapter and die

Precise, autonomous, mechatronic – with the PAM option, Reifenhäuser Cast Sheet Coating will demonstrate at PLASTINDIA how flat film producers can fully automate the adjustment of coextrusion adapter and die. In the past, this was mostly done manually. This enables faster start-up of production, higher output, and improved overall equipment efficiency (OEE). Scrap and material usage are significantly reduced. Once recipes have been set, they can be stored and recalled at any time. They can therefore be reproduced exactly – even by inexperienced line operators.

At the heart of the PAM system are motorized screwdrivers which profile the film layers on the coextrusion adapter automatically with high precision and set and control the die flex lip. Depending on the die design, it is also possible to adjust the dust bar, width, and lip opening automatically by adjusting the lower die lip. The PAM option is exclusively available for the Reifenhäuser Coextrusion Adapter Pro, the only coextrusion system on the market that allows profiling of individual layers while the line is running. Forflat dies, PAM is available as an optional feature for Reifenhäuser dies and also as a retrofit option for third-party systems.

The coextrusion adapter with PAM option automates layer distribution adjustment and simplifies adaptations and optimizations by integrated recipe management.

 

Benjamin Pott, Sales Manager at Reifenhäuser Cast Sheet Coating, explains, “The PAM option is a unique solution on the market to enable producers to achieve enormous increases in line efficiency. It can be selected independently for coextrusion adapters and dies – but in combination, the automated components develop their full potential.” The Reifenhäuser Group, one of the few machine builders on the market, manufactures all hot parts in-house – extruder, coextrusion system, and die. With this hot part competence, Reifenhäuser can design all process-related interfaces to match each other perfectly – PAM takes the whole thing to a new level.

High-barrier film for tubes in only one process step

At PLASTINDIA, the Cast Sheet Coating business unit will introduce a sustainable production process for PE-rich recyclable high-barrier film for tubes. These types of film are mainly used in oral or beauty care products. In the past this required several lamination and conversion steps upstream of the tube manufacturing process.

The new Reifenhäuser single step flat film coextrusion process simplifies production and increases productivity by outputs up to 80% higher than other technologies. The process also offers significant cost savings by reducing EVOH layer thickness by up to 30% while maintaining the necessary barrier properties. The properties of the film ensure seamless integration into established processing methods and thus a short time to market.

The motorized screwdrivers of the PAM option adjust and regulate the die flex lip automatically with high precision.

OQ’s Supply Chain Strengthens Customer Centric Delivery Model for ISC Market

OQ’s Supply Chain Strengthens Customer Centric Delivery Model for ISC Market

  • Huge growth in supply chain capacity, resilience and agility over recent years makes OQ the ideal polymer partner for Indian companies operating in the plastics sector.
  • Indian subcontinent identified by OQ as a market with great global potential and is a strategic priority for the company.
  • OQ will be present at the upcoming PlastIndia event (February 1-5) in New Delhi on the ground floor, Hall 2 – C4.

OQ, the Oman-based enterprise that specializes in PP and PE grades for flexible and rigid packaging solutions, continues to build on the strength of its global and regional supply chain networks that enable it to serve customers throughout the Indian subcontinent.

In the past few years, the company has increased the volume of containers shipped per month from 900 to around 4,500 – a growth of more than 400%. During the same period, OQ has improved its operations in 8 ports across India and another two ports within Indian Subcontinent. Our team has now the ability to distribute at least 40% of our shipment to Mundra and Nhava Sheva directly with 2 days transit – as opposed to 10-15 days in the past. We are also able to serve all Inland Container Depot (ICD) destinations in India.

This steady growth has been enabled by a series of strategic partnerships with logistics and transportation companies, five operating in the sea container business and another three which handle OQ’s inland trucking needs.

Dawood Al Rahbi, Vice President – Global Supply Chain, commented: “We are better placed to provide efficient, agile and reliable shipping to our customers in the Indian market.

“As the highly anticipated PlastIndia event approaches this February, OQ affirms its commitment that we are here to do business and support the development of the region’s polymer industry. We see huge potential here and want to play our part in realising that potential.”

Scheduled for February 1-5 and held in New Delhi, PlastIndia has grown into a must-attend event for both the regional and global plastics industry, with plastics producers, processors and users of plastics gathered under one roof to explore opportunities and build new relationships.

For OQ, the event is a tremendous opportunity to showcase its ability to support the local plastics market and the wider Asian region.

OQ’s supply chain and logistics operations are overseen by a team of 34 employees, 20% have focused roles in supporting the ISC market. The team is spread across Muscat, Suhar and Singapore, those in Muscat being primarily responsible for handling shipments for the Indian subcontinent and are available on a 24-hour basis to address customer requirements in the region.

This reflects the priority of India being a very strategic market for OQ. Thanks to the capacity and resilience building that has taken place across the supply chain in recent years, the company is able to serve India-based customers in a very efficient and agile manner. For example, key OQ customers have been already taking advantage of the features of an auto shipment intimation. This feature is well received by OQ customers who receive an automated email upon completion of order stuffing with their order details along with sailing and expected arrival dates.

“We have come a long way since we had just three employees managing all logistics out of Muscat,” Al Rahbi added.

“We are the first to launch this automated service in India. We are well placed to face up to challenges that may impact the industry in the future. For example, shorter transit times present a challenge of making shipping documents available to customers on time – we already have systems and processes in place to ensure our customers in India are served promptly and efficiently each and every time.”

Windmöller & Hölscher and Theurer.Com Work Hand in Hand

Two innovation leaders cooperate to take an important step towards further digitization of the workflow with the IoT system RUBY.

Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H), a manufacturer of machinery in the flexible packaging market, and the leading provider of ERP/MIS software for the printing and packaging industry theurer.com will go common ways concerning the W&H product RUBY.

RUBY is the IoT system for optimizing packaging production with regard to the digitalization of the value chain. By intelligently improving parameters, higher productivity and better quality are achieved. Thanks to data-based error detection and alarms in real time, packaging production also becomes more efficient.

The focus of the cooperation is based on a plug and play concept for the new connectivity module RUBY Connect 4 Flow, which digitizes the manual order process at the machine. This enables W&H machines, initially limited to the business units of printing and extrusion, to be networked via RUBY with the C3 ERP/MIS software from theurer.com.

The aim is to create a standardized solution for the digital transfer from C3 to the W&H systems and from the W&H systems back to C3. In thisway, the transfer of order data and machine settings, as well as production feedback, take place digitally. It allows experts to prepare the job with all relevant machine parameter settings like temperatures, tensions etc. conveniently from the office and to send all this data digitally to the subsequent job level of the different machines. All that remains is to select the next job from the list and all machine parameter settings are already done at the push of a button.

The cooperation brings great added value for W&H customers: There is less integration effort during installation, the degree of automation can be directly increased and human error settings can be reduced. “We are pleased to create new benefits for our customers. Thanks to the cooperation, RUBY will be networked even more efficiently. This does not only save time and prevents errors but also ensures maximum transparency as well as production control,” reports Stefan Brinkmeier,Product Manager for Connect 4 Flow at W&H.

The concept was already presented in October 2022 at EXPO, W&H’s in-house exhibition, and met with great interest from customers. Currently, the interface and data architectures are being coordinated and programmed.

theurer.com offers its customers many advantages with C3 as the leading software for the printing and packaging industry: From digital production orders via MDC/DMI to the transmission of orders to machines and now the connection to RUBY. Nevertheless, RUBY remains an open system that can be networked with other ERP systems than C3.
