Union Plastic on show ES380 high speed all electric injection molding machine with turn-key IML solutions of 8 cavities cups at Chinaplas 2025. Which is intending to provide clients a ready to work system of food package IML production.

The IML robot in the show is a side entry IML solution with model number TSER ULTRA 20 which is a high speed IML robot with a 12 cavities magazine and EOAT sets for the production of IML Yogurt cups, which is now a budget smart solutions of Yogurt cups IML production. And for bulk production of the IML Yogurt cups, a vision control unit and a packing unit would be integrated to produce an IML cups free from Biotic pollution.

Founded in 1984, Taiwan Union Plastics Group (T.U.P) is one of the earliest manufacturer of injection molding machines in China, the brand was transfered to HongZhen Liansu Machinery Co., Ltd. in 2019 and has the headquarter moved to HangZhou, ZheJiang Province of China with a full range of injection molding machine products which include:

• UN Series M7 Servo Plastic Injection Molding Machine
• ES Series Full Electric Injection Molding Machine
• HS Series Two Platen Injection Molding Machines
• HD Series Multi Components Injection Molding Machines

With a production base up to 67,000m² and more than 500 employees, Uniio Plastic is designed to provide culients with a high quality injection molding machine of cutting edge technilogy together with excellent service.

To be the supplier of IML Yogurt cups for the dairy producers now in China is not an easy job, the strict standard of "Biotic Pollution Free" make it a basic requirement to have a system of IML cups production system which will have the vision control system and the packing system integrated. Only with an IML solution of this kind will ensure that the IML cups would be "Biotic pollution free" to ensure thee food safety.

8 Cavities Yogurt Cups Side EEntry IML Solutions with Vision Control and Packing

It sounds great right? Yes it's great to have the yogurt cups produced from IML to bag packing automatically with the bad parts rejected automatically. It's an economic solution with the increasing manhours globally for the bulk production of IML containers for dairy products. As an efficient production solution of IML containers, what should the IML containers producer keep in mind while planning such a project?

For an automation system of IML with vision control and packing, the key to note would be:

• The Expected Daily Output of the Containers: As a bulk production system, an IML system with vision control and packing is not suitable for samll orders. Each system would be suitable for one products only.
• The Mold Drawing: For an IML containers production system, a 3D drawing of the mold is essential for a successful IML project. It could be either .stp or x_t file.
• The Details of the Injection Molding Machine: An IML robot would be a custom made one according to the dimension of the injection molding machine and the layout drawing of the mold, the details of the injection molding machine would be very important to an IML project.
• The Checking Standard of the Cups: As a vision control system is a "self-study" system so while planning an IML project with vision control it's important to prepare samples of both "good" parts and "bad" parts for the system to "learn" which one to be packed and which one to be rejected.
• How Would You Want the Parts to be Packed: It's the key to design the packing system for the IML cups, you should discuss it with the dairy producer and provide the packed sample if possible.

The tips above are some basice notes for an IML system with vision control and packing, for more information about IML solutions please contact Adams from SWITEKE for a ready to work turn-key IML solutions.
