When evaluating more cost-effective and sustainable alternatives, a cup produced using the injection compression molding (ICM) process came into play. Even in direct comparison with a thermoformed cup with a cardboard sleeve, the Netstal solution offers numerous advantages.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;278416&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Solution from Netstal:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The ICM application was realized in cooperation with several system partners. We presented it as a running application at Fakuma 2023. For this we adapted a hybrid Elion 1750 to the injection compression molding process. The ICM mold with 4 cavities comes from Glaroform. Beck Automation provided the IML handling system with integrated camera inspection. The laminated PP label from iPB detaches itself during the recycling process.<\/p>\n<p>Industry partner Emmi filled pre-produced sample cups on its filling line shortly before Fakuma and delivered them to Friedrichshafen. On our exhibition booth we served our guests finest blueberry skyr filled in show cups. Tasty proof that our solution works perfectly in practice.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;post-gallery-230712&#8243; isotope_mode=&#8221;packery&#8221; medias=&#8221;13472,13534,13502,13666&#8243; gallery_back_color=&#8221;color-rgdb&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,icon|md&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_shape=&#8221;round&#8221; radius=&#8221;xs&#8221; single_overlay_color=&#8221;color-jevc&#8221; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_image_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_h_align=&#8221;center&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; single_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; single_css_animation=&#8221;bottom-t-top&#8221; single_animation_delay=&#8221;200&#8243; no_double_tap=&#8221;yes&#8221; carousel_rtl=&#8221;&#8221; single_title_uppercase=&#8221;&#8221; single_half_padding=&#8221;&#8221; single_title_serif=&#8221;&#8221; single_no_background=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;582388&#8243; gallery_back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;678723&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Results ICM compared to 200 g cups in standard injection molding:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The cycle time is reduced by approx. 14 % compared to standard injection molding<\/li>\n<li>Plastic consumption falls by approx. 34%<\/li>\n<li>27 % more parts per packaging unit<\/li>\n<li>33 % less CO2 equivalents<sup>1<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Results ICM vs. 200 g thermoforming cup with cardboard sleeve<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Plastic consumption is reduced by approx. 20 % (both cups without label)<\/li>\n<li>The labeled ICM cup is around 40 % lighter than the labeled thermoformed cup (5.96 g vs. 9.87 g)<\/li>\n<li>Around 22 % lower power consumption per kg of material throughput<\/li>\n<li>150 % more parts per packaging unit<\/li>\n<li>28 % less CO2 equivalents<sup>1<\/sup><\/li>\n<li>One-step process: the finished labeled cup comes directly from the injection moulding machine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;13819&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;100183&#8243;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;132855&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion: <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With this application, we can prove that cost efficiency and sustainability go hand in hand in injection molding.
