Extrusion 2-2017

31 Extrusion 2/2017 Debuts of the ACF Series driven by EASY at CHINAPLAS The ACF series assures a flexible produc- tion for a wide range of articles, handl- ing different materials, such as PET, APET, RPET, CPET, OPS, HIPS, PS, EPS, PP, PLA, PVC, has a modular concept and can be supplied in different configurations. In- line solutions are also available. An exceptional repeatability and high- speed performances make these ma- chines absolutely unique and competi- tive. The forming and cutting presses are purposely equipped with counterba- lanced platens. (Images: AMUT) T he extremely positive feedback re- ceived after the show has determined AMUT COMI to embrace also the South East Asian market, presenting the ACF 820 model in operation during China- plas exhibition. This model is configured in three stations (forming - cutting - sta- cking), with formig mould size of 820 x 650 mm and clamping force of 240 kN. The cutting station has area of 800 x 630 mm and clamping force of 600 kN. The heating oven is a new development with 5-step length or 3.250 mm, and permits to process thick PP sheets with- out any need of pre-heater. The visitors will see the machine deliver PET punnets starting from 350-µ foil and reach a production speed up to 60 wet cycles per min in the configuration with 15-cavity mould. AMUT GROUP Via Cameri, 16 - 28100 Novara - Italy www.amutgroup.com Chinaplas 2017: Hall 4, Booth C45 The ACF is the latest series of thermoforming machines developed by AMUT COMI with premiere demonstration during the K Show in Germany. All AMUT COMI thermoforming ma- chines are driven by EASY, the smart HDMI that understands the data set by the operator and processes them pro- posing optimized solutions. AMUT COMI is keeping up with advances in technolo- gy, complying with the smart manufac- turing and Industry 4.0 trends. Main performances of EASY: • Automatic adjustment of the parame- ters of the cycle based on the set speed. • Optimized diagnostic with information for research and fully independent solu- tion of the problems. • Monitor displaying of I/O PLC cards. • Automatic check of the set parameters refusing data that are not compatible with the predefined cycle. • Detailed pie chart of all functions of the automatic loop. • Energy saving system with optimiza- tion of oven heating in relation to mould size.
