As the technical representative of the pyramid in the global hot runner field, German männer has always focused on the research, development, and application of hot runner technology. In order to better serve the Asian market, männer will launch a "packaging nozzle" for the Asian market for the first time. This product was officially announced for the first time at the "Adsale CPRJ Sixth Plastic Packaging Technology Forum and Exhibition" held in Suzhou on March 2-3.
"Packaging Hot Nozzle" Technology Highlights
According to Liu Xin, Managing Director of männer Hong Kong, the "packaging nozzle" introduced for the Asian market is mainly applicable to common materials such as PP, PE, ABS, PS, etc. It can be used in the production of bottle caps, flip caps and other packaging. The main features It can be summarized as: optimized heating system, faster delivery time, simple use and maintenance.
Liu Xin emphasized that the "packaging nozzle" still retains all the advantages of the company's traditional products, including the balance of multi-cavity products, high service life, and high pressure. At the same time, compared with similar products on the market, männer can do better in details. For example, gold or silver bottle caps generally leave a weld line. The hot runner design can cleverly avoid the weld line and make it appear. Without affecting appearance
Qualitative place.
To shorten the delivery time, männer will also produce some parts in Suzhou and assemble them locally.
Join hands with Adsale platform to advance transformation
Founded in 1965, männer, Germany, focuses on the development and manufacturing of high-precision molds, hot runner systems and micro-injection molding systems. Customers include the world's leading companies in the medical / pharmaceutical, packaging, and personal care / healthcare industries.
"Previously, männer only made new product launches at the triennial K show in Germany. This time, the official launch of the" packaging nozzle "was placed on the professional packaging technology forum hosted by Adsale Group, which is part of our transformation thinking."
In order to promote the innovation and sustainable development of the packaging industry, Adsale Group combined with its "CPRJ China Plastics and Rubber" all-media, the world's second largest international plastics and rubber industry exhibition CHINAPLAS, China International Packaging Industry Exhibition Sino-Pack, Packaging World ( Shanghai) Expo SWOP and other project resources, held "CPRJ Plastic Packaging Technology Forum and Exhibition" nationwide in recent years.
After years of careful construction, the event has become a prestigious annual industry event in the field of plastic packaging. The "Adsale CPRJ Sixth Plastic Packaging Technology Forum & Exhibition" with the theme of "environmental protection first, efficient innovation" will be held in Suzhou on August 2-3 (next Thursday and Friday).
Transformation to force the Asian market
Although Europe and the United States are the main sales market of männer, the Asian market only accounts for 10% of its global market. However, with the hot runner system that has followed customers and the hot runner system and männer molds that have been used for many years in the market, Asia is currently operating. Männer hot runners actually account for 30% -40% of the world, so the significance of männer in Asia goes beyond selling products. It is more about maintaining the normal operation of existing hot runner systems, solving the use and localization of technology, thereby promoting global Sales.
With the improvement of domestic demand in the Asian market, especially the Chinese market, and the need for strategic adjustments within the group, männer has begun its transformation in the Asian market. The above mentioned production of some parts in Suzhou, local assembly, and launch of customized products for the Asian market are all part of the transformation.
At present, Asian customers have some knowledge of hot runner technology, but it needs to be strengthened and promoted. For example, Liu Xin said that a domestic electronic product customer has become the "hidden champion" in their field. The materials they use are mainly PA glass fiber, PC glass fiber, PBT glass fiber, and LCP.
In the past, the company used traditional cold runner production. The material head is large. A 10-gram product head can reach 100 grams. If it is replaced by a hot runner, the waste of the head is eliminated. Based on a production base with 300 injection molding machines, it is estimated that only 20% of the hot runner replacement amount can save twice the weight of all the previous products.
"Because the price of the engineering materials used by this company is relatively high, the material cost saved is considerable, and the value to the company can be imagined." Liu Xin added.
In addition to bringing considerable profit, hot runner technology can also help enterprises achieve "continuous production" and avoid product defect problems caused by the degradation of material properties after the use of recycled materials. At present, the project is progressing smoothly.
Integrated into the new group's technology system to improve
In 2013, männer became a member of Barnes Group Limited. In 2015, the Barnes Group established a new injection molding business unit (SBU), which consists of its Synventive, männer, FOBOHA, Thermoplay, Priamus, and Gammaflux.
Among them, Synventive, männer, and Thermoplay all provide hot runners, männer and FOBOHA provide molds, Priamus provides system control, and Gammaflux provides temperature control boxes. These six companies form a complete technical system for molds and hot runner systems.
Although Synventive, männer and Thermoplay all provide hot runners, the three companies face different markets. For example, Synventive is good at large-scale automotive parts production. Männer is mainly multi-cavity, high-precision products, and high-speed thin-wall products.
"Thanks to this complete technical system, männer is even more powerful in technology." Liu Xinru said.
