Since the K trade show, held in Düsseldorf every three years, is one of the world’s most important plastics exhibitions, also in 2019 Negri Bossi will be once again present with technologies and innovations.

The focal point of the 480-smq stand where the Italian manufacturer will be displaying four presses will be the new Nova s600T model, completing such a machine range. In addition, Negri Bossi will also display two electric machines from its Nova eT range as well as a 330 tonnes servo hydraulic machine.

The Nova s600T comes from the Nova sT range that is available from 600 to 1300 tonnes. The new and innovative range has a unique toggle system that gives all benefits of a traditional toggle system whilst generating a footprint close to that of a two-platen machine. The machines come with the latest generation servo hydraulic system for maximum performance and energy saving combined with the patented Motus controller with its virtual object system for axis movement. This machine will be making a folding crate with part extraction via a Sytrama robot going to an assembly station.

Two Nova eT all electric machines completed the collection of Nova machines on display. The Nova eT range is devoted to the packaging, closures, medical and optical moulding sectors and is precise efficient and fast. The Nova eT machines range from 50 to 350 tonnes and feature the smart flex two clamp units specially designed for electric actuation and for reduced dry cycle times. The whole range features generous tie bar spacing, high injection speeds and Tactum multitouch controller with scroll, zoom and swipe capability.

The first Nova e130T on stand, fitted with a 40-mm barrier screw, will run a mould, made by the Spanish company Molmasa, to produce Roll On. This moulding solution for the packaging industry is a new patented method for producing high quality plastic blown bottles directly from the injection moulding machine. The benefits of this application are compact mould concept, simple and reliable operations, horizontal injection moulding machine, simple and fast start up, high quality final products and parts low cost.

The second Nova eT is a 220‐tonne model that produces glass thanks to a 4-cavity mould made by FB Moulds and is completed by a bagging machine. Parts are extracted via a side entry Sytrama robot and placed into the bagging line. This is an ideal application in which traditional machines struggle in terms of energy consumption and performance.

The fourth machine displayed will be a 330-ton model that will produce a broom brush incorporating the Negri Bossi FMC technology. FMC is a technique of moulding with gas (nitrogen) which reduces the weight of the parts and eliminates aesthetic defects. The use of WPC (Wood Plastic Compound) in addition to FMC system guarantees an ecological solution for plastic production. FMC system is an ideal solution to reduce weight because it produces moulded material as a microcellular foam, available both for thermoplastics and liquid silicon rubber (LSR). The machine will be also equipped with a brush making machine (Borghi).

Last but not least, the Negri Bossi Amico 4.0 system dedicated to the Industry 4.0. will be shown on a display area where visitors could see the latest developments achieved through the collaboration with the Open Plast, the Italian platform dedicated to plastic and rubber sector, allowing to complete the Industry 4.0 chain from machines to customers ERP system.
