What Kinds of IML Buckets Can be Produced by WELLTEC TTI-300HD All Electric Injection Molding Machine?

The TTI-300HD is an all electric injection molding machine produced by COSMOS MACHINERY with clamping force 30000kN and injection rate up to 885cm³/sec, which is an ideal injection molding machine for the producion of thin-wall containers for diary products like 1L buckets for Yogurt or Icecream etc. As for what kind of IML buckets can be produced by TTI-300HD, let's check the key parameter of it for IML production of a thin-wall container:

Opening Stroke 600mm: It's suitable for the high speed IML production of buckets with height <150mm

Which means that for any IML buckets with heights no more than 150mm could be produced by this injection molding machine.

Why is a 2+2 Solutions of IML Recommended for the Producers of 1L Thin-wall Buckets With Handle for Dairy Products?

A 2+2 solutions of IML for 1L buckets means to have 2 cavities of the 1L buckets and 2 cavities of handles integrated in a single mold for an easy solution to have the handle assembled to the buckets to reduce the labour cost. With this IML solution the IML robot will pick both the buckets and the handles from the mold and have the handles assembled to the buckets immediately after the parts pick out and have the IML buckets stacked on the conveyor.

Which IML Robot to be Recommended for the 2+2 IML System?

The custom made SW833-S6 high speed side entry IML robot with handle assembly which design and produced by GuangDong SWITEK Technology Co.,Ltd. is to be recommended. It's an IML robot with integration of IML labeling and the handle assembly unit to proceed the IML labeling and handle assembly automatically.

How is the IML Buckets Produced by a 2+2 IML System?

The video on show how is the IML robot finish the bucket production process of lable picking, inserting, buckets picking handles picking and have the handles assembled to the buckets. The difference between the custom made IML robot SW833-S6 to a regular side entry IML robot is that it has a handle assembly unit to have the handles assembled to the bucket.

For manay small and medium sized producer of IML containers it many not be easy to make a decision if to accept the order or not because of the small quantity at the beginning but a huge potential in the future. As the IML robot is a custom made system according to the mold design and the injection molding machine for this mold. But is there any possibility to have one IML robot for a couple of molds? The answer is yes.

High Speed Side Entry IML Robot

The SW8 series of side entry IML robot is one of which an ideal choice for the small and medium sized producer of IML containers. With exchangeable magazine and stacking unit, the IML robot enable the IML containers producers to produce the small and medium sized IML containers and IML lids by the injection molding machine and the IML robot with simply to have the magazine and EOAT replaced for the new mold. But with this IML robot, how will the IML containers produce to achieve the maximized productivity?

To maximized the productivity of the IML system, the key would be to have the injection molding machines and the IML robots well organized according to the products. To make the change the magazine and EOATs faster, we can have the containers with wraping labeling produced in one IML system and have the 3/5 face labeling containers and the lids produced by another IML system. It's not recommended to have the containers with wraping labeling to be produced by the same IML system with an IML lids, which will need to change both the Magazine and the stacking unit and the time to start the system up would be much longer.
