Turn-key IML Solutions

What's Can We Lern About the New Trends of IML Technology from K-Show 2025?

The worlds No.1 exhibition of Plastic & Rubber K-Show 2025 closed successuflly on Oct. 15, 2025 at Dusseldorf, Germany. The exhibition attracted 3,257 exhibitors from 66 countries and 175,000 visitors visitors from around the world? The leading IML Solutions providers on showed their cutting edge technology of IML and injection automation solutions to visitors from around the world. The IML solutions on show include small Yogurt cups by BMB eKW28Pi-1300 to 15L buckets of 2 cavities IML solution with uniformed handle injection by Tederic NEO-H1100. What's new will these amazing IML technology bring to the packaging industry and how far is the Chinese IML Solutions provider from their European competitors?

Faster & Thinner

We can find that nearlly all the IML cups for diary products on show K2025 are ultra thin-wall containers with thickness around 0.35mm with a perfect concentricity produced at an ultra fast injection speed. It represent a breakthrough in mold processing technology, high speed injection molding technology and a perfect control system for the IML system and the capacity to have them integrated as a uniformed system and working efficiently.

Have the Vision Control System Integrated as Part of the IML Robot

Not only the IML system for Yogurt cups production, we noticed that BRINK has the vision control system integerated in their solutions of 2 cavities 5L buckets with handle assembly. It'll not only release the staffs from the handle assembly job but also a full implentation of the TQC process to ensure the quality of the buckets produced.

Automatically Carton Loading

In K2025 we found that many IML solutions has the robotic arms carton auto-lading function includedd in their IML solution, which shows that UNTOUCHED production of the containers for the dairy products are a trend not only in China but aslo around the world for the upgraded hygeine standard for food package production.

Will rPET a Substitution to the Traditional PP IML Yogurt Cups?

In K-Show 2025, Pages cooperating with ENGEL on showed a 6+6 stack mold rPET IML solutions with vision control and have the cups picked and stacked by a Delta robot with auto-carton loading. With excellent transparency recyclability, the rPET is regarded an eco-friendly solutions for food package. With increased efficiency and reduced system cost in the future, will it be a replacement of the PP in the as the No. 1 material for dairy containers production?

How Far is the Chinese IML Solutions Provider from Their European Competitors?

As the sales man of SWITEK Automation, one of the leading providers of China since 2017, to be frankly I'd say that compared to our European competitors we're far behind them regarding the system efficiency especially the IML solutions with vision control and auto-packing for the bulk production of single products in bulk quantity but we're providing a more dynamic IML solutions which is more friendly to small and medium sized producers of IML containers with limited budgets. I think ideology behind the IML system design is based on two completely different culture and market. For European people they're enjoying a stable life but while in China, the Chinese especially the young are always pursuing something NEW so the dairy products producers are replacing the package design every season. So a FAST CHANGEABLE structure of the IML robot is the basic requirement of the IML system.

Q & A About Robotic Arms and Injection Automation

What Would be the Budget for a 6 Cavities 700ml Beverage Cups IML Project?

With the globalization of Chinese Milk Tea brands, the production of IML cups for the milk tea (mostly 700/900ml) is now not only a billion dollars business in China but also a million dollars business in many other countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and many other southeast Asia countries where you can find thousands of milk tea stores from China like MIXUE, CHAJI etc. It would be the best time to invest an IML system to be the localized supplier of these brands. But for a new invester of the IML beverage, what would the budget of such a project?
