02/03/2010 - At the Plastimagen, which takes place from 23 to 26 March 2010 in Mexico City, ARBURG will demonstrate the potential of its ALLROUNDER H (HIDRIVE) high-performance hybrid machines. Trade visitors will be able to convince themselves of this, on exhibition stand no. 3500 in Hall 3, with the help of a high-speed packaging application.

"For ARBURG, the Plastimagen is the perfect forum to highlight its expertise, especially in the packaging sector. This sector is traditionally strongly represented in Mexico", says Guillermo Fasterling, ARBURG Subsidiary Manager in Mexico. ARBURG will demonstrate a high-speed packaging application on a hybrid ALLROUNDER 570 H with a clamping force of 2,000 kN and a size 1300 injection unit. Equipped with a 24-cavity mould, this machine will produce screw caps for water bottles in a cycle time of 4.5 seconds.

"The plastics-processing industry in Mexico mainly prefers high-end, applications-oriented machines. ARBURG satisfies this demand in a first-class way. Because ARBURG's entire machine range is characterised by modular design, the supply of any requested customer- or sector-specific equipment version is unproblematic", says Guillermo Fasterling explaining the advantages of ARBURG injection moulding technology.
