IML
Currently, IML technology is the most advanced and the cleanest method of packaging production. Therefore, IML technology is the best technical process for
decorating plastic packaging, during which prefabricated polypropylene labels are directly inserted into the tool by a robot during the injection moulding process. The
result is a decorated end product manufactured in a single process which eliminates the need for additional decoration.
The result of packaging production using IML technology is outstanding quality, since the plastic label is made from the same materials as the packaging, making it its
constituent part. Packaging produced with this technology ensures environmental integrity and at the same time complies with all the safety requirements of the
food and non-food industries.
This process enables fitting plastic packaging with unique decorations of the highest quality and shine, creating the impression that the decoration is not a label, but a
constituent part of the plastic packaging.
Thus, IML is currently the only procedure enabling fully automated packaging production of the highest quality level.
Machinery
Stork injection moulding machines are considered the pinnacle of the available machinery for producing thin-wall plastic packaging, and are renowned and
acknowledged throughout the world for their speed, high quality and fast service. These machines are distinguished by their closed loop system. All functions and
movements are carried out in parallel. 2.5- to 3.5-second cycles are the quality criteria for these injection moulding machines.
The lid stacking system stacks the lids according to numbers, and keeps them clean and level for potential automatic closing.
The antistatic device discharges the static electricity generated during plastic packaging production.
Moulds
Manufacturing tools specially designed for the production of thin-wall injection moulded packaging, are made of special materials, including beryllium (Be), which
allows the product inside the tool to cool down very quickly.
With thin-wall packaging it is important to reduce the production cycle time as much as possible. Achieving a suitably short cycle time in the production of thin-wall
packaging depends on high pressure, injection speed, suitable materials, and cooling speed.
Materials necessary for the production of thin-wall packaging have a high melt flow index, e.g. Stamylan P 512MN10 has an index of 37, Stamylan P 513 MNK 10 an
index of 70, and Borealis BH345MO an index of 45.
