Sumitomo Demag on show EI-Exis SP420-2500 Hybrid injection molding machine with turn-key solution of recycled PET container IML production at PlastImagen 2025 of which the IML solutions provided by StackTeck automation.
The EI-Exis series of injection molding machine is the Ultra-High-Speed Hybrid injection molding machine manufacturered by Sumitomo(SHI) Demag. Of which with the intelligent drive system knows no compromises betweeen maximum performance and minimum energy consumption, the EI-Exis series of Hybrid injection molding machine is the most advanced and fastest injection molding machine on the machine for the high speed production of thin-wall IML packages.
Not only the EI-Exis hybrid injection molding machine, the StackTeck IML robot is also a most advanced IML solutions available for the IML production of recycled PET containers. The IML system have the IML robot, the vision control unit and the stacking unit well integrated to provide clients with a turn-key automation solutions of rPET containers IML production.
Anyway, most of the IML dairy products containers are still made of PP, of which has a much lower cost of IML system purchasing. For exampe an IML system of 2 cavities of 500ml cups made of PP can be produced by a Sumitomo Demag Systec 210/580C SP, with SWITEK SW8 series high speed IML robot + Vision control unit + Stacking unit + Carton Loading solution, the cost would be only around 1/3 of the rPET IML solutions on show PlastImagen 2025 with Sumitomo Demag EI-Exis SP420-2500 Hybrid injection molding machine + StackTeck IML Solutions.

Product Descriptions
What's Would be the Most Economic Way to Produce An IML Bucket With Handle?
As one of the most popular food package in the market, an IML pail with handle is in demand of huge quantity but the assembly of the handle make it a labour entensive products. Is there any solutions that will make the production of an IML bucket with handle automatically? The answer would definitely yes.
One of the most economic way would be to have the pails and handle integrated into one single mold, it could be 2 + 2 or 4 + 4 design which the IML robot will pick the buckets and have the handles assembled automatically. With this solution, the IML buckets producer will only need one set of IML system to have the buckets and handle produced and assembled immediately.
> It sounds great right, but what would be the productivity of such a system? In Chinaplas 2024 SWITEK cooperated with YIZUMI onshowed a 2 + 2 IML solution of 1L pails at the cycle time of around 7.5s. Generally the performance of the injection molding machine, the mold and the IML robot are all very important to make it a perfect IML system with handle assembly.
