Milacron Holdings Corp. announced vital product offerings that will be offered at K 2019, the plastics trade fair. K 2019 will take place October 16th-23rd in Düsseldorf, Germany. Milacron will be displaying its Advanced Plastics Processing Technologies (APPT) featuring Milacron and Ferromatik product branded injection, and extrusion offerings, as well as Milacron’s Melt Delivery and Control Systems (MDCS). Displays will feature Milacron’s product brands: Mold-Masters, DME, TIRAD, and CIMCOOL in Hall 1, Booth C05. New Breadth of Offering Providing Total Solutions to the Industry: DME is broadening its spectrum of solutions that support molds and mold makers from pellets to parts, through a series of new and unique products and technologies. The solutions enable better quality parts to be produced at lower costs. DME Announces Major Expansion in its Range of Components: DME announced the major expansion in its components range, adding 15 new product ranges and enlarging the standard offering in another 11 ranges. The broader range offers mould designers with more freedom in the design of any mold. DME Supplies Technologies for Efficient Ejection of Parts: DME guiding systems now include new ball guiding units with and without collar, guide bushes for pusher guides, self-lubricating ball guide bushes for ejector set with graphite inserts for permanent lubrication, recirculating ball bushing for ejector set with unlimited stroke length as well as threaded bolts and inserts for ejector set and many more. New additions to the self-lubricating guiding systems support user's applications with high resistance to wear and very good emergency operating features. DME 3D Accualign® Lifter – Versatile Lifter Technology: An essential component for internal and external undercuts a well-designed lifter travels with the ejection plate and moves on the release angle with the stroke to pull the cavity steel away from the undercuts, typically where slides or other means are not an option. With the new DME 3D ACCUALIGN LIFTER allows for the manufacture of plastic parts with complex geometries and, at the same time, reduces maintenance costs, molding downtime and increase part quality over the mold’s entire life. Featuring a novel 3D Ball self-alignment system, a patented articulating long-life carbide ball moves within an alignment channel allowing for optimum movement, and compensates for any misalignment opposite to the release angle ensuring very low friction and reduced binding. The DME 3D ACCUALIGN LIFTER is capable of incorporating DME’s novel TruCOOL™ conformal cooling technology helping cool those difficult to reach areas. This allows for maximum production through reduced cycle times, and the elimination of quality problems caused by excessive warpage. This yields a lower piece cost, more efficient production and better part quality. Expanded Insulator Sheet: DME now brings new drilled insulating plates to market. The pre-machined insulation boards with holes, F-cross, with and without the locating ring hole and required no additional reworking. DME Cooled Sprue Bushings – Achieve Optimum Results: By having sufficient cooling around the sprue, user can increase the diameter leading to reduced pressure needed to fill user's part. This technology offers lifetime savings of a mold that can now run in a smaller, more economical press. All leading to faster output, lower scrap and superior product results in winning across the board. Using pre-engineered components to provide optimal resin flow provides substantial gain with minimal investment. Purging Compound Engineered to Remove Unwanted Pigments:FreshStart is a patented, revolutionary, all-purpose purging compound. The MC-2 and GP solutions are only two in a series of innovative and ground breaking purges designed for the removal of unwanted pigments, polymers and contaminates without leaving residue. Ideal for quick color changes overs, particular liquid pigment dispersions, dyes and engineered resins. FreshStart is a safe, non-abrasive, non-hazardous purging solution developed around General Recognized as Safe (GRAS) ingredients under FDA 21 CFR. New Inserts - A Marketing and Operations Dream Tool:The new DME QR Code insert allows OEM’s to reap all the benefits of traceability and consumer connectivity. For the first time, QR codes can be added to the product during the molding process without making it part of the mold, in a way that won’t be removable or wear off. The NEW DME QR Insert has unlimited possibilities to provide customer more information about product, options for re-order, documentation, and optional accessories. New Mold-Masters Strategic Solutions Launched for Global Performance:Mold-Masters is excited at the opportunity to showcase its products to customers. There will be a lot to see at this year’s K-Show. We’ll be bringing with a selection of innovative new products as well as showcasing enhancements engineered to improve the performance, quality and technical capabilities of the company's customers.
