     RIKUTEC Group, a leading blow moulding technology specialist, will showcase its high-precision, multilayer machines and fast-cooling moulds alongside a range of technical blow moulded products at k 2019 (Hall 14, Booth B13).

    The Germany-based company pursues a holistic approach with regard to products and services, utilizing its vast technology expertise and decades of manufacturing knowhow.

    Stefan Eichelhardt, Director of RIKUTEC’s Engineering Business Unit, said: “Our customers value us as a full-service provider. We cover the entire value chain from the production of raw materials, machinery and plant engineering to product design and series production of large-volume plastic containers. In addition, we offer our customers services covering all aspects of our broad product portfolio.”    

    RIKUTEC will highlight the industrial packaging industry’s first all-plastic Twin Drum which meets stringent demands of the Packaging Group 1 regulations as specified by the ADR European agency for safe storage and transport of highly aggressive chemicals.

    The blow moulded ‘tank in a tank’, which offers secondary containment, also meets UN-sanctioned approvals in Europe and US. The 200-litre Twin Drum effectively stores and transports highly aggressive chemicals in an ultra-clean environment. RIKUTEC’s patented multilayer coextrusion blow moulding technology manufactures products from 100 to 10,000-litres in a single shot.

    The company will also discuss its latest effort to tackle the plastic waste issue with the development of highly sustainable materials. RIKUTEC can use up to 100 per cent HDPE recyclate for the production of blow moulded products.  

    CEO Bodo Richter added: “The circular economy is and will remain the topic of the future. Many external factors are currently affecting the plastics industry – we, as manufacturers of machines and HDPE products manufactured by blow moulding, are trying to help shape the sustainable change in the plastics industry.”

  • Wilmington Machinery delivers engineering breakthroughs and increased moulding capacities

    Wilmington Machinery has built and installed two vertical structural foam presses for a customer looking for a machine more suitable than a horizontal press, but with all the advantages vertical presses provide.

    The two new large vertical type low-pressure structural foam presses accept between one and six moulds mounted and can produce one to 20 components per cycle. Each vertical press mould is filled independently and precisely by Wilmington’s proprietary Versafil injection system.  

    To meet customer demands, Wilmington re-engineered the MP800 injection unit to incorporate a first-in, first-out, reciprocating screw of 30:1 L/O and an in-line accumulator arrangement. The design maintains the ability to compound both virgin and recycled resins with various fibrous and non-fibrous additives for strength and reducing the cost of the moulded component. 

    Direct gas injection into the extruder barrel provides large part thin-wall structural foam moulding. The machine is also capable of non-foamed moulding of medium-sized parts. 

    The MP800 model retains its capability of both cold and hot runner moulds using either short shot (foam) or pack/hold moulding techniques. 

    A second complete Wilmington Machinery plastic pallet moulding system has also recently been delivered to a European customer. 

    The US-based company is inviting attendees to its stand (Hall 13, booth B91-19) at this year’s K trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany.
