Press release
ARBURG demonstrates production
efficiency at the Feiplastic 2013

Electric: Edrive series for Technical injection
moulding

Specific: hybrid Allrounder H with IML application
for the packaging industry

Efficient: specific automation solutions
Lossburg. At the Feiplastic, which takes place in São
Paulo from 20 to 24 May 2013, Arburg will present two
machines – a hybrid Allrounder Hidrive H and an
electric Allrounder Edrive which, on the one hand,
satisfy the requirements of the Brazilian and South
American market. On the other hand, the two exhibits
on Stand no. H28 are a model of production efficiency,
the topic on which Arburg is focussing worldwide.
The electric Edrive machine excels through its
attractive price/performance ratio, and can be seen as
an automation solution. The applications
demonstrated here also correspond to the
requirements of the region: the hybrid Allrounder 570
H will produce high-quality IML lids for the packaging
industry.
South American processors are interested in both

and in electric machines with a coherent
price/performance ratio. Not only large, international
companies in South America but also national
manufacturers are increasingly turning towards this kind of
electric machine technology. The packaging sector is also
enjoying a boom in this region. Arburg has put together its
programme for the Feiplastic in response to these
demands.
Entry into electric machine technology and automated
production
The electric Edrive series is characterised by precision,
reproducibility, energy efficiency and minimised emissions.
Due to its excellent price/performance ratio, the Allrounder
Edrive is an interesting alternative to hydraulic machine
technology, and enables economical entry into the world
of Arburg electric machines.
At the exhibition, an Allrounder 520 E with a clamping
force of 1,500 kN and a size 400 injection unit will injection
mould stackable CD trays with a single-cavity mould. Parts
are removed and set down by a Multilift Select robotic
system, which has a fixed configuration adapted to the
machine size, making it an impressively cost-effective
purchase. This production cell, of which the entire
peripheral equipment is integrated in the Selogica
machine control system, is an excellent example of costeffective entry into the automated production of moulded
parts using electric machine technology.
This exhibit also features the Selogica "Set-up Assistant”
module, which allows menu-guided, simple, fast and
reliable set-up of Allrounder machines – from mould
installation to the finished sequence. Detailed knowledge
of the control system is not necessary. The Set-up

Assistant helps you to reduce downtimes and increase
production efficiency.
Allrounder 570 H produces IML lids
The second exhibit belongs to the hybrid Hidrive series,
which is outstanding for its high productivity, short cycle
times and high energy efficiency, and is therefore
predestined for packaging applications.
The speed and precision associated with electric
technology are combined with hydraulic power and
dynamics for high production performance. All Allrounder
H machines bear the Arburg "e²" energy efficiency label as
an indication of energy-optimised operation.
The hybrid Allrounder 570 H exhibited at the Feiplastic has
a clamping force of 2,000 kN and size 800 injection unit. It
produces tub lids using the in-mould labelling process, in a
cycle time of five seconds. The moulded part weight is 6.1
grams per lid, and the material throughput is around 26
kilograms per hour. The use of transparent material and a
film printed on both sides from Verstraete endows the lids
with a decorative surface both inside and out.
The 6-cavity mould comes from RK Ferramentaria, the
robotic system for feeding the labels and removing parts
from OK! Automation – both qualified suppliers from
Brazil.
The advantage here is that Arburg can quickly provide
local customers with competent services and assistance in
achieving their ideal system.

The electric Allrounder 520 E at the Feiplastic is
additionally equipped with a Multilift Select robotic system.
This makes the exhibit an excellent example of costeffective entry into the world of electric machines and also
automated moulded part production.
