Thin Wall Integra: a global approach for optimum industrial efficiency in the production of thin-walled containers. ARBUG France has joined forces with the mold maker Collomb, specialised in thin-walled containers, with the robotic expert in packaging, Groupe Pagès, with Verstraete, manufacturer of IML labels,with Koch- Technik, specialist in material flow management and Borealis, supplier of raw materials in order to present the new “one-stop-shop” concept, Thin Wall Integra, for the production of thin-walled containers and more specifically here 5 liter pails. The concept is based on a fully automated cell around an ALLROUNDER 720 Hp hybrid machine, equipped with a one-cavity mold, cycle time of 5 seconds, combined with a sequential telescopic side robot that feeds the mold with IML labels and unloads then stacks the pails thus decorated on a storage mat. The stacks are then taken automatically by a cobot for palletization. This set also offers the advantage of being particularly compact thanks to the robotic technologies used. The recycled material is fed continuously by an automatic feeding system. The partners of Thin Wall Integra bring at each stage of the project, and in a concerted manner, their specific expertise to offer producers of thin-walled containers the technical state of the art but also to secure the quality and deadlines for the industrial implementation. The main strengths of Thin Wall Integra can also be listed as follow: - Eco-design using recycled material (55%), the mold design allowing material savings of up to 35%, increased ease of stacking and “Holygrail 2.0” labels, the prospect of more precise recycling of materials used. - Completely automated cell specifically designed for high-capacity packaging applications requiring speed, precision and efficiency as well as great ease of maintenance. - A partnership between complementary experts to offer a complete solution with the commitment of a secure, fast and innovative project implementation.
