12/02/2010 - At the Interplastica 2010 in Moscow, ARBURG demonstrated the cost-effective production of medical moulded parts on a hydraulic ALLROUNDER 420 C GOLDEN EDITION with a clamping force of 1,000 kN and a size 290 injection unit. Equipped with a Schöttli 24-cavity mould and a full hot runner system, 0.58-gram PP overcaps were produced in a cycle time of about eight seconds.

According to Stephan Doehler, ARBURG's European Sales Manager, the presented medical technology application clearly demonstrated the performance potential of the hydraulic ALLROUNDER 420 C GOLDEN EDITION. "This machine series combines high-quality machine technology with an attractive price. This makes it ideal for cost-effective moulded part production and perfectly suitable for the requirements and prerequisites of the Russian plastics market. Consequently, particularly for the ALLROUNDER GOLDEN EDITION, we see great sales opportunities within the Russian injection moulding industry."

On each day of the exhibition, numerous in-depth technical discussions were conducted with interested parties and customers. "Although a slight reduction in the number of visitors was recorded in comparison to the previous year, it was possible to significantly increase the intensity of the discussions – particularly with potential customers", says Stephan Doehler evaluating the appearance at the Interplastica.
