The mass production of complex flat drippers for droplet irrigation reveals the potential of individually coordinated high-end technology. By combining the maximum precision of injection moulding machine and mould more than 137,000 parts can be produced per hour.
The basis for the production of flat drippers is an electric injection moulding machine from the high-performance ALLDRIVE series. Significantly more efficient production is facilitated together with mould technology designed for fast cycles: Output is more than 50 percent higher than standard hydraulic technology.
Highlights
Maximum precision: high-end machine precisely coordinated with 64-cavity mould
Short cycle time: high-performance hot-runner system, near-contour mould cooling and synchronous ejection
Production efficiency: ARBURG experts and cooperation partners optimise the injection moulding process
