A&E Produktionstechnik GmbH is once again taking part in this year’s Fakuma – Internationale Fachmesse für Kunststoffverarbeitung. Together with our Chemnitz partners Cetex Institut gGmbH, TU Chemnitz–SLK and dem Institut für Strukturleichtbau und Kunststofftechnik, we are contributing to the circular economy and CO2 reduction through the use of recycled materials in sandwich injection moulding (coinjection). Visit us in hall A6 at stand 6218 – we look forward to seeing you there.
A&E sandwich panels: ideal for lightweight construction applications and for saving CO2
A&E Produktionstechnik GmbH stands for the development of innovative injection moulding technologies. A&E has been developing, producing and selling flexible injection solutions for single and multi-component and vertical injection moulding machines since 2002. The main focus is on increasing the efficiency and cost-saving flexibility of single and multi-component and vertical injection moulding machines. A&E Produktionstechnik GmbH’s most innovative technologies include the A&E sandwich plates, which enable plastics processors to cost-effectively convert their injection moulding machines to the sandwich injection moulding process. The advantage: plastics processors can thus comply with the legal requirements of the EU and the German government. In the sandwich injection moulding process, secondary raw materials are used to manufacture new products. These so-called used plastics are “hidden” inside the moulded part without the properties of the moulded part deteriorating.
As the used plastics are only processed mechanically, i.e. cleaned, shredded, etc., and are not produced using chemical processes like new plastics, the processes are less energy-intensive – comparable to other recycling processes. This reduces CO2 emissions.
Hot runner intermediate plates for greater efficiency
Hot runner intermediate plates from A&E guarantee greater efficiency and/or flexibility in the use of injection moulding machines. Hot runners in intermediate plates connect the nozzles of the injection units with the mould sprue bushes if their positions are different. This ensures maximum leakage protection. In order to achieve different positions of the mould sprue bushes in relation to the clamping surface, the hot runners are mounted in the intermediate plates so that they can be moved. The contact force of the hot runner nozzle to the mould sprue bush is generated by a positioning device. A machine and/or mould conversion is no longer necessary when using the hot runner intermediate plates. The hot runner plates can be fitted and removed just as easily as with conventional mould installation and removal. If servicing is required, the hot runner can simply be removed from the steel plate and serviced. This reduces downtime and costs – even if the mould is changed frequently – and increases service life. The optional installation of sensors makes it possible to monitor the nozzle contact force, for example. An extension to include injection moulding processes is also possible.
You can rely on the experience of engineers, technicians and scientists.
