New assistance facilities in Indonesia and Vietnam

Since August 2015, Amut Group confirms the establishment of new technical service points in Vietnam and Indonesia, boosting and consolidating a complete onsite support to the existing and potential customers. This strategy has been followed because of the great results always achieved in the extrusion and thermoforming field in the Southeastern Asian area. Amut has a very good reputation in these countries and even the last model of thermoforming machine has hit the mark: the AMP 850 GP delivers particular light “aqua cups” ideal to comply the specific exigencies of these markets, such as a volume of 220 ml and a weight of barely 2.5 g.

Amut Group secured two important projects in Indonesia with the in-line version of this model, perfectly fitting the standard tests for filling and sealing water cups and with an output of 96,000 pieces per hour. Reduction of the power and compressed air  consumptions is definitely proven. The highlights of the in line system are the following:

- a single screw extruder EA130 40 L/D, equipped with a new screw design reducing the

mechanical stress on the PP during the melting process and granting good results on the cup’s impact test, and keeping the max output at 800 kg/h processing till 50% of recycled material;

- a calender roll equipped with three independent hard chromed polished rolls, with diameter 600 mm with a new concept of internal cooling to guarantee the best heating exchange between polymer and water;

- the AMP850 GP thermoforming machine with a mould area of 850 x 550 mm and cutting

force up to 70 tons, equipped with 50-cavity mould off set configuration to reduce the

recycled material at only 40%;

- a pick up stacker capable to reach a production efficiency till 92%;

- a new in-line grinder composed of a rotor diameter 400 mm and 5+5 blades to increase the cutting frequency and to decrease the power consumption;

- a software supervisor for an easy and friendly handling of the machine.

This met with an excellent response from the Vietnam area too. After only two months from the presentation of the VPK-C84 3-stations thermoforming machine during the last Chinaplas show, Amut had already finalized two contracts in Vietnam: one for a
