An Elios 7500 to test large moulds

08 March 2017

The French mould manufacturer Plastisud has just received an Elios 7500 to supplement its technical centre. Plastisud is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-precision injection moulds for thin-wall packaging, beverage closures and medical components. Plastisud will use the Elios 7500 for intensive functionality and performance tests.

The new Elios is set up for the high performance and utmost precision required for thin-wall packaging. "We will need the Elios 7500 for future projects in a high clamping force range”, said Plastisud CEO Laurent Buzzo. In particular, that means large moulds for the production of lids, containers, cartridges, large beverage closures and petri dishes with a diameter of 90 mm. "We selected the new Elios because it perfectly meets our demands with regard to flexibility and adaptability. We have to test moulds with many cavities and large stack moulds on the Elios, but can also use it for smaller moulds if the smaller machines are not available," Buzzo explained. "In this regard, Netstal and its Elios set themselves apart because the new machine can be adapted effortlessly for various projects. With its lightning quick injection speed as well as rapid cycle times of about 2.5 seconds, it also offers an impressive performance package," said Jean-Luc Grange, Application Technology Manager at Netstal France.
