In a bid to help tackle climate change, Taiwan’s plastic and rubber machinery industry has rolled out innovative smart green manufacturing solutions to meet the demand for cutting-edge technology development of global manufacturers.

The new innovative smart green machines were showcased during the recent Taiwanese rubber and plastic industries webinar themed ‘Shaping Tomorrow, Discovering Taiwan Plastic & Rubber Machinery’ in conjunction with the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT), MOEA, Taiwan, R.O.C., the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry (TAMI).

The event which attracted over 284 people had five efficient companies give detailed presentations on and about their new technologies via their respective representatives.

Bush Hseih, vice chairman of plastic and rubber machinery committee, TAMI during his opening remark said that Taiwan is recognized for its state of the art plastic & rubber industry and that the industry is innovative and as such as brought tremendous value to the entire world by creating smart technology.

Bush also said, that the Taiwan rubber & plastic industry revenue as generated a revenue of over $2.5billion as against what it was amidst the Covid-19 outbreak.

Similarly, Celina Lin who is the sales representative of Allen Pack firstly introduced the horizontal shrink sleeving machine.

According to her, the machine is capable of a smooth setting shift and also has a high response electric component

“The machine also contains a PLC controlling system and the machine engineers conducts series of test before delivery,” she said.

Lin also introduced another machine – Automatic Shrink Machine (ASL – 1000/2000) which has easy adjustment & operation, easy maintenance, strong construction, and various production range & capacity as well as a variety of applications and performance guarantees.

Also, Tony Wu, sales support engineer, Chum Power Machinery Corp introduced the ‘Intelligent High-Speed Linear Machine’.

Wu stated that the machine can produce over 20,000 bottles per hour making it currently the company’s best seller.

Other capabilities of the machine include; unscrambling, Infeed, Heating, Ejecting Transfer, Stretch & Blow, and lastly Discharge.

According to him, the Chum Power smart machinery is of four mergers and these are Bottle viewer (views production status among other functions), AVM (Automatic Virtual Metrology), R2R (Run 2 Run, adjust processes perimeter. But still under process), and IPM (Intelligent Preventive Miness) this monitors vibrations & downtimes.

The machine also has energy-saving features like air recovery, he said.

Hank Wu a sales manager represented Fu Chun Shin Machinery Manufacture Co, Limited introduced New Generation Molding System FA Series also referred to as the Falcon Series or Advanced Servo Hydraulic Injection Molding Machine.

He said the machine has intelligent features like an intelligent flow balance system & adaptive control system. The machine can produce stacking bins & multi-utensils.

The machine system pressures ‘160 Bar’ thus improving the injection response. The machine packaging time can last up to one minute & comply with high energy efficiency standards.

David Wu, general manager of Mutipals Engineering Company introduced the ‘Fully Automatic Production Cell – Unman Screwdriver Production Line.’

“The advantage of this machine is that it connects multiple devices for optimal production performance. It is also a diversified production facility. The machine collects data & monitors production,” he said.

Lastly, David Lu, CMO, Poly star in his presentation ‘Recycling Made Simple, For Circular Economy Till Date’ shared three recycling solutions.

The first he shared was the REPO FLEX (Industrial Film Recycling). The machine, according to him can be mixed with virgin products to reproduce stable products.

“The machine also saves new materials projection cost & reduces waste. It is fast, stable & direct. Due to it features and more, the Intelligent Pelletizing System Machine was innovated to enhance the productivity of the REPO FLEX machine,” he said.

The second machine is the REPO PLUS (Multi-Layer Film Recycling). Lu said this machine is triple Degassing, can optimize muting pressure & humming moisture.

Lu introduced the REPO ONE (P P Raffa / Woven Recycling) machine. He added the machine process includes; Direct Feeding, Single Shaft Shredder, Filtration, Degassing & Water Ring Palletizing.
