ELMET’s World Premiere at NPE 2024 TOP 700 LSR Dosing System Raises the Bar for Compact Precision

At NPE 2024, which runs from May 6 to 10 in Orlando, Florida, ELMET premieres its new, ultra-compact TOP 700 dosing system for injection molding liquid silicone rubber (LSR). Newly developed from the ground up, TOP 700, the most compact 20 liter system on the market, meets industry demand for a combination of cost-effectiveness, process-stable efficiency and the smallest possible footprint. Moreover, the TOP 700 provides the same high precision dosing of silicones and additives as Elmet’s flagship TOP 7000 Pro dosing system with its 200 or 20 liter drum size which was launched back in 2021, so ensuring perfect part quality.

efficiency and the smallest possible footprint. Moreover, the TOP 700 provides the same high precision dosing of silicones and additives as Elmet’s flagship TOP 7000 Pro dosing system with its 200 or 20 liter drum size which was launched back in 2021, so ensuring perfect part quality.

Performance and Economy

The TOP 700 can achieve delivery rates of over five liters/minute at a maximum pump pressure of 210 bar, so enabling short cycle times both when filling larger parts and with large numbers of small cavities. Additives and colors can be dispensed from 1, 4 and 20 liter containers. In order to achieve the dosing precision that is particularly vital for very small parts, the volumetric meter for colors has a resolution of below 0.1 μl/l. Depending on requirements, dosing can be carried out simultaneously or in a freely selectable mixing ratio.

Thanks to the optimized design of the follower plates, just 40 ml of residues are left behind when the 20 liter drums have to be changed, resulting in material utilization of up to 99.8%. With a design service life of 20 years or more for all its mechanical components, a modular structure and particular ease of servicing which keeps maintenance costs low, the TOP 700 is synonymous with cost-efficiency. Its very low energy consumption of less than 50 Wh and minimal compressed air consumption also help to keep costs down.

Versatile, Reliable, User-friendly

Designed to be FDA- and EMA-compliant, the new TOP 700 dosing system is also ideal for applications requiring the highest levels of cleanliness such as medical technology, personal care, foodstuffs and optics. Virtually abrasion-free pumping also prevents metal particle contamination of the LSR which would impair its functionality. There are also no limits to the consistency of the processed LSR under real-world conditions because Elmet’s new system can dose any commercially available product with the same precision thanks to its ability to handle viscosities of between 0.001 Pas and 2000 Pas (shear rate 10/s) or 16,000 Pas (1/s). Its optionally OPC UA- and Euromap 82.3-compliant control system can be seamlessly integrated into the injection molding machine’s own control system.

When it comes to safety, the new TOP 700 performs at the highest level, meeting the stringent requirements EN ISO 13849-1 (December 2023) which applies to machines and control systems. To avoid operating errors, the drums can be changed fully automatically from the drum rim from three sides within 2 minutes. Intuitive operation of the system, the use of simple clamp connections, a guided drum change procedure and an integrated cooling system mean even relatively low-skilled personnel can operate it without any problem. Fully automatic venting as standard completes the system’s many and varied safety and convenience features.

All Elmet dosing systems comply with the commonest industry standards such as CE, UL, FDA and EMA.

As Development Manager Thorsten Häuser explains: “We developed our TOP 700 dosing pump to meet customer demand for a space- and material-saving solution from ELMET. We’ve achieved this with a footprint of less than 0.5 m² (799 mm × 600 mm) and our new pump design. As a result, this new dosing system is particularly suitable not only for customers processing high-value, shear-sensitive or abrasive materials but also for R&D, prototyping and small-batch applications. The TOP 700 rounds out our product range while setting new standards in compact dosing technology.”

Husky Takes the Lead in Enabling the Circular Economy at NPE 2024

Husky TechnologiesTM, a pioneering technology provider enabling the delivery of essential needs to the global community, has returned to exhibit at NPE 2024 taking place in Orlando, Florida from May 6-10. Husky’s booth, located in the West Hall, highlights the company’s latest technologies, solutions, and services designed to enable the circular economy across the complete plastics lifecycle.

“The reality is that plastics are an essential part of our daily lives. Plastics are used to protect and preserve our food, health, and well-being. They play a critical role in almost every aspect of life today, and in many cases provides life essential services in the way that other materials cannot. Materials like PET uniquely combine bio-stability, exceptional performance, superior formability, cost-effectiveness and the ability to be used over and over again in ways no other material can match. PET is one of a very small number of materials approved for use in medical devices and even for extended use inside the human body. More than 70% of medical consumables in use today utilize PET and other medical grade polymers for their production. Aluminum and glass beverage container production, releases 3-5 times the C02 into the environment than PET container production and critically requires 3-5 times the blue water to produce. Furthermore, PET production avoids the unsustainable impacts of deforestation associated with paper composites and the environmental toll related to mining aluminum. Materials like PET are clearly the superior choice,” said John Galt, Husky’s Chief Executive Officer.

Enabling the circular economy

As consumer demand for more recyclable packaging grows and regulations tighten, producers
require innovative solutions and expert guidance to stay ahead of the curve. At the show, Husky is showcasing its range of solutions to:

Engineered to be the market’s fastest system, HyPET 6e achieves the ideal balance between high throughputs and quality without compromise. Husky is running a HyPET HPP6e system at the booth, producing a lightweight 5.89 gram preform made from 100 percent rPET material. The system’s industry-leading performance enables the preform to be blown into the market’s lightest, functional, industrializable bottle.

Advancing sustainability across the plastics lifecycle

As a sustainability pioneer, Husky has been at the forefront of developing circular solutions for decades, and NPE 2024 will mark the global debut of some of the company’s most advanced sustainable technologies yet:

• At the booth Husky is running a high performance Hylectric 4.0  system with UltraShot injection technology to produce a complex bioresin part. The company is unveiling its award-winning UltraMelt technology for processing bioresins – an integral part of the system that opens new possibilities for the use of alternative renewable, bio-based materials in plastics manufacturing.

• New application design and development innovations involving lightweighting, tethered closures, and introduction of a groundbreaking advancement involving closures manufactured from 100% PET to facilitate mono-material packaging that streamlines the recycling process.

• The company’s remote, proactive Advantage+Elite monitoring solution will be connected to systems running at the booth, monitoring in real-time. This includes a suite of intelligent, connected solutions that use end-to-end, closed-loop reporting to leverage data and analytics, optimize operations, reduce waste, and improve overall equipment effectiveness, particularly when producing packaging containing higher percentages of recycled material.

“Make no mistake, plastics pollution is a problem. Plastics belong in the economy and out of the environment. All of us, up and down the value chain, have a role to play in solving the issue of plastics pollution. At Husky we take that obligation seriously and are committed to transitioning our industry from a linear to circular economy. At NPE 2024, we’re showcasing how the industry is working together and innovating to develop circular solutions that will preserve the environment for generations to come,” concluded Galt.

Hillenbrand, Net Impact, and the Coca-Cola Company Announce Finalists of the 2024 Circular Plastics Challenge

• Global challenge invites students and professionals to generate industry-shifting ideas for the plastics value chain.
• Finalists to present solutions at virtual showcase broadcast at NPE2024, the largest plastics trade show in the Americas.

 Hillenbrand Inc , Net Impact, and The Coca-Cola Company have selected and announce five finalists for the 2024 Circular Plastics Challenge, established to promote sustainability within the plastics value chain and encourage ideas from next-generation innovators on ways to help keep plastics in the economy and out of the environment.

Participants were tasked with designing forward-thinking solutions to increase the supply of rPET, or recycled polyethylene terephthalate. PET, or polyethylene terephthalate, is a versatile material used for the packaging of food, beverages, cosmetics, and household products. Focusing on turning PET into rPET helps create a more circular economy by using plastic that has already been produced and helps solve the current supply challenges with rPET as it is not keeping pace with demand due to low recycling rates.

The second-annual global challenge generated 65 applications from 18 countries. The top five teams shared highly innovative solutions.

The 2024 Circular Plastics Challenge finalists include:

Project ReVend | led by Addison Vaughn and Anastasia Chalmers, University of South Carolina undergraduates | Columbia, S.C., US – Project ReVend aims to boost recycling rates by alleviating sortation challenges with a subliminal label design. It also seeks to incentivize consumers to recycle through strategically located reverse vending machines that are integrated with the user’s preferred payment account. With the solution implemented at a U.S.-based university with an undergraduate student population of 35,000, a 10% adoption rate is projected to lead to 210,000 collected bottles per year.

rMarket | led by Carissa Tasto and Jennifer Larkin, MBA graduates from Presidio Graduate School | San Anselmo, Calif., US – rMarket is a full-service platform offering any retail chain the option of becoming a certified recycling center under the rMarket program while supporting logistics for reclaimers, processors, and copackers manufacturing rPET. The goal of rMarket is to provide the equipment, marketplace, and industry expertise to transform a retail store into a centralized collection point for communities underserved by municipal recycling programs. At scale, it has the potential to provide enough material for 2,652,864 soda bottles made with 30% rPET.

EcoTrace | led by Professionals Aadhithya Sujith and Somya Singh | Kannur, Kerala & Nagpur, Maharashtra, India – EcoTrace uses florescent-based markers in PET plastic manufacturing coupled with Tracer-Based Sorting (TBS) technology to improve the material’s recyclability and downstream applications. The zero-waste process is designed to minimize tonnage loss, conserving valuable resources and reducing the carbon footprint associated with plastic production and recycling. With an estimated 1 billion pounds of rPET recovery facilitated by TBS, the potential for mitigating plastic waste is substantial.

Strong Bottle | led by Terra Miller-Cassman and Taylor Fackrell, Boise State University graduate students | Boise, Idaho, US – Single-use water bottles are made of rPET, yet most PET bottles are landfilled because they are mistaken for paper during the recycling process when the rPET bottle gets flattened by the pressurized air-sorting technology common in materials recovery facilities. Strong Bottle proposes a new disposable water bottle shape to prevent flattening during the recycling process that could result in a 15% increase in the PET collected during the recycling process.

BottleBot | led by Nicole Restani Kolbeck and Sebastian Weeks, Bard’s Graduate Program & professional Nate Kolbeck | Red Hook, N.Y., US – BottleBot is a deposit return scheme that collects PET bottles and distributes rewards for consumers through an interactive reverse vending machine co-sponsored by large brands with established recycled content goals. It incorporates AI scanning that reduces contamination and blockchain technology that allows retailers to track and manage PET supply throughout the plastics value chain. This solution is estimated to increase the supply of rPET by 10,000 lbs. per store, per year within the first year.

Each team will present their ideas during a virtual showcase May 8 during NPE2024, which is produced by the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) and draws more than 55,000 attendees from over 110 countries representing a variety of industries, including automotive, healthcare, consumer products, and construction. The judging panel, which includes leaders from Hillenbrand, Coca-Cola, and The Recycling Partnership, will determine the winners during the show. The first-place team will be awarded $10,000, with $2,500 and $1,000 going to the second- and third-place teams, respectively.

“The plastics industry is constantly innovating to improve the sustainability and recyclability of our products, and this program is a perfect representation of that,” said Patrick Krieger, PLASTICS Vice President of Sustainability. “I congratulate these five finalists for their innovative solutions and look forward to watching them present their ideas at NPE in Orlando, Florida.”

In 2022, Hillenbrand joined forces with Net Impact, a global nonprofit organization that mobilizes next-generation leaders to use their skills and careers to make a positive impact on the world. With a shared goal to find ways to build a more just and sustainable world, Hillenbrand and Net Impact launched the inaugural Circular Plastics Challenge in 2023 with additional support from The Coca-Cola Company. Hillenbrand and Coca-Cola guide the topic of the competition, and Net Impact facilitates the competition by bringing together its global network of social impact and sustainability leaders to address the challenge.

“This program continues to strike a chord among our community of emerging business leaders,” said Karen Johns, CEO of Net Impact. “It allows them to grapple with a real-world corporate sustainability problem and put what they’re learning in the classroom to the test. Our partnership with Hillenbrand and The Coca-Cola Company serves as a model for how businesses and nonprofits can partner together to activate emerging leaders, engage the next generation, and provide robust experiential education opportunities for a diverse future workforce.”
