From IML to packing, acmeplas automation on show turn-key solutions of 16 cavities IML cups injection molding at Chinaplas 2025 with Systec 420, the high speed injection molding machine produced by Sumitomo Demag.

With the popularity of Yogurt in China, the producers of IML containers for Yogurt are pursuming solutions of IML with more cavities for a higher productivities to win out in this mostly competitive market in China. An IML system of 16 cavities would be a challenge to both the hotrunners balance of the mould and the labeling stablity of the IML robot but would be an economic configuration for an IML system with vision control and packing system, which will help to maximize the production capacity of the two units.

With System 420, the high speed injection molding machine produced by Sumitomo Demag, it'll provide a stable injection molding with a minimal cycle of around 6s to ensure the productivities of the IML system.

Any way, an IML system of 16 cavities with vision control and packing will only be suitable for the none stopping production of the IML containers with single size and style. For small and medium sized producers of IML containers, an IML robot with a fast changeable magazine and EOAT would be a better solutions for the fast changing marketing.

IML Containers with 2 lables will provide more space for the dairy products producers to design their pattern and provide more detailed description of their products, but with one more label it'll make the design of the IML system much more complex. How would be the two labels to be put into the mold and what would be the recommendation of such an IML system?

2 Cavities IML Solutions for Containers with 2 Labels

SWITEK has both solutions of 2 cavities IML solutions for oval shpe box and 4 cavities IML solutions for round cups with 2 labels. The difference of the 2 labels IML solutions of wrap + bottom labeling will request more space for the magazine layout design. Both the labels would be put into the cavities at the movable part of the platen with the parts to be picked from the fixed part of the platen.

Since the structure of the magazine for the IML containers with two labels is much more complex than that of wrap labeling only, the best solution is to have a turn-key IML solutions from SWITEK Automation so we can have the robot and the injection mould well tested together before delivery to ensure that the system which you received is ready to work.
