Just back from the visiting of Saudi Industry Week which is the largest exhibition of the injection molding machinery and automation in Saudi Arabic, it's my first time of visiting Saudi Arabic and also my visit time of visiting Saudi Industry Week, about this amazing visiting, I'd like to share something about it and this hot and hospitable country.

Firstly I'd like to share what I saw in Saudi Arabic Industry Week, compare to Chinaplas or K-Show or EuroAsia in Turkey, Saudi Industry Week is a really small exhibition of injection machinery and industry with only injection molding machines of YIZUMI, BORCHE, Sound, HUARONG, SUNBUN, SONLY, this is the only injection machinery related exhibition which Haitian, the injection molding machine griant from China won't show up.

Potential: by talking the exhibitors of the plastic parts in Saudi Industry Week, we found that the entrepreneurs of Saudi Arabia is willing to spend money on the high quality machineries. Take the producer of IML containers as an examples, the IML robots running in their factory are mostly big names from the European countries like Brink, Back, Competella etc. And Competella is the only automation brand showed up at Saudi Industry Weeks. The solutions of these European Griant of IML means that IML container is a mature business as the package of Yogurt and other dairy products and has huge potential for Chinese IML solution providers.

Made in China: In Saudi Industry Week, we can find that about 90% of the exhibitors in the temporary halls (Halls 1A, 1B) are mold making companies and machinery manufacturers from China, it showed up the willingness of China machinery and facility manufacturers to explore the new opportunity outside China. It also showed up the confidence of Chinese machinery manufacturers to compete with the competitors of the European and other countries, not only a much better price, but a comparable quality and much better service.

Finally, as a conclusion of this article, I'd like to mention the food which we had in Saudi Arabia. Four days stay in Saudi Arabia with a large shopping mall near our hotel, I even don't know what's the traditional Saudi Food. There are big names of Hamburg like Burger King, McDonalds, KFC, SUBWAY and we even tried Yemen food, but it seems that we didn't see a restaurant of Saudi Arabia. And we had a terrible experience in a Chinese food restaurant, it's really unimaginable that Chinese cuisine will become so sweat after leave China. I'm here sincerely to invite you to have a visit of SWITEK Automation in DongGuan, where you'll know what would be the origional taste of the food, the true Chinese Cuisine.

With more producers of the pails for paints introduced IML system in their production, it make the IML paints pails market getting more and more competitive. With a lower investment on the facilities will no doubt help to earn the investment back faster. Here is some recommendation of the IML solutions for 20L buckets for your reference.

As a 20L IML pails would be produced in an injection molding machine around 700T with a cycle time of 25s or longer, the robot to recommed would be SW7518DS by SWITEK Automation which is a 3 axis servo injection robot with a kick-back design, the best structure for deep cavity parts picking like an IML pails. It's the top choosed robot for an IML system of 20L paint buckets.

As a deep cavity IML container, the injection molding machine would be very important because it'll request a much larger opening stroke to ensure that the IML robot will have sufficient space to pick the buckets and insert the label. The injection molding machine to recommend here is the HD700U seriese of injection molding machine produced by HAIDA. This machine is specially designed for the production of IML pails > 20L with enlarged opening strokes.

For any more questions about the production of 20L IML pails for paints please just feel free to contact Adams to get a ready to work turn-key IML solution.
