Ecolinject
Plastic injection moulding system
The injection moulding machine produces thermoplastic parts of different materials and shapes, depending on the moulds mounted on the machine. The plastic granules are manually placed in the mould and then pushed into the heating chamber (pneumatic circuit).
The melting of the granules (thermal control) allows the injection after the mould is closed (hydraulic circuit). The molten material fills the mould (hydraulic circuit). The opening of the mould allows for automatic ejection and debottlenecking (hydraulic circuit), with evacuation of the parts into a recovery chute.
The EcolInject system is a station in our EcolPlast production line.

ECOLPLAST
Automated production line combining modularity and scalability
<p>This industrial line was designed by our design office, in collaboration with teaching teams, based on a real production and transformation line for plastic materials. </p> <p><br /> Ecolplast ensures the production and packaging of plastic parts, such as caps, customisable tokens (checkers, shopping cart tokens, etc.).<br /> The moulded parts are made by hot injection under pressure of polyethylene or polypropylene in the form of granules. A continuous part control by digital imaging allows the rejection of defective parts.</p> <p><br /> The production line systems then pack the parts into boxes, shrink-wrap the boxes and place them in cartons or plastic crates. The latter are evacuated onto a line exit conveyor which can be equipped to close the boxes using an industrial taping machine.</p> <p><br /> An associated system allows the recycling of sprues and rejects in order to reuse the raw material and optimise manufacturing costs. It also crushes plastic caps for integration into production. The line is composed of autonomous and independent systems that are combined to form a set of 4 to 9 stations, with control and supervision on PC and tablet.</p>
