2-component handle

This example of a 2-component lightweight handle shows that post-consumer recyclate (PCR) obtained from household waste can be efficiently processed into durable, high-quality industrial products while conserving resources.

Sustainable

Physically foamed recyclate based on PP is used for the production of industrial two-component handles for ALLROUNDER safety doors.

Energy efficient

Because the gas-charged melt has low viscosity, the injection pressure and energy requirement are reduced when injection moulding foamed components.

Lightweight

LLightweight core – high-quality feel: the physically foamed handle is around 10% lighter than compact injection moulding.

Whatever the requirement.
We'll find the solution.

ARBURG solutions used

ALLROUNDER 630 A

The handles are produced on a turnkey system based around an electric multi-component ALLROUNDER 630 A with a clamping force of 2,500 kN. The two halves of the handle including the insert are assembled directly in the 1+1+1-cavity mould.

To the ALLROUNDER ALLDRIVE electric series

MULTILIFT V 30

With a load capacity of 30 kg, the vertically engaging MULTLIFT V 30 is designed for the efficient automation of large ALLROUNDERs. For applications with a vertical injection unit, the robotic system is mounted in a rotated position above the moving mounting platen.

To the linear robotic systems

Lightweight construction

A physically foamed lightweight moulded part overmoulded with soft material is produced in a cycle time of around 62 s. The 2-component, soft-touch handle weighs 93 g.

To lightweight construction technology

GESTICA control system

For the automated production of the injection moulded product, the linear MULTILIFT robotic system and mould are integrated into the GESTICA control system. This ensures greater convenience, functionality and efficiency.
