An automatic system with electrical mo- tors adjusts the rails length and V divari- cation to avoid sagging. All AMUT COMI thermoforming ma- chines are driven by EASY, the advanced- feature process management solutions. This is an intuitive software that provides users with optimized solutions once they set the process parameters combining an optimized diagnostics. AMUT COMI is keeping up with advan- ces in technology, complying with the smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 trends. Off-Line Thermoforming Machine n At the upcoming Interpack, AMUT COMI will exhibit an off-line thermo- forming machine, model AMP 850-GP, complete of a mould for vending coffee cups. The technology applied is single station: simultaneously forming and trimming operation, with tilting mould. AMP series is suitable to thermoform a wide range of plastics, such as PP, HIPS, PP and PET and to produce cups, round and square dairy containers. It is based on a modular concept and can be sup- plied in different configurations. In-line solutions are also available. The machine shown at Interpack will de- liver 200 cc PP vending coffee cups (Ø 70 mm), with a weight of 1.6-2.2 g and a capacity of 200 ml. The mould has an area of 850 x 560 mm and 55-cavities. Closing force for form- ing is around 700 kN. The output is 115.500 cups/hour with 35 cycles per minute. The concept includes high-speed perfor- mances, energy saving solutions and in- line grinding of thermoformed scraps to avoid raw material losses. Hall 15, Booth C03 ➠ AMUT-COMI SpA www.amutcomi.it Halle 9, Stand G05 ➠ BIO-FED Zweigniederlassung der AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH http://bio-fed.com n Portfolio expanded : BIO-FED is exhibiting at Interpack in Düsseldorf for the first time in 2017. The Cologne-based branch of AKRO- PLASTIC GmbH is specifically targeting its offer to the new statutory legislative framework on the French market. One consequence of the new energy turnaround law in France on 1.1.2017 was a ban on conventional plastic bags for fruit and vegetables as well as foil packaging for postal items. In future these have to be biobased and biode- gradable in domestic compost. “We have expanded our portfolio for the French market to include several new and highly innovative products in line with current statutory provisions and specifi- cally designed for the French film indu- stry, and we will be presenting them at Interpack,” says Dr. Stanislaw Haftka, BIO-FED Sales Director. These new pro- ducts include the extrusion M·VERA ® B5024 and B5025 which have a high pro- portion of biobased raw material. Both products can be composted at home and are highly transparent, making them ide- al for fruit and vegetable bags. The Cologne-based company will also be presenting its new biodegradable injec- tion moulding products at Interpack. 39 Extrusion 3/2017
