Improve efficiency, save energy and reduce carbon

The global leader in the plastic additive market, Merican, has joined hands with Fujiangxin Group, a major injection molding machine manufacturer in Taiwan. In the two stages of transparent agent addition and plastic injection molding, Merican Millad ® NX ® 8000 polypropylene (PP) transparent agent can provide polypropylene packaging products with a transparency similar to that of glass, and can also help Fuqiangxin machines save energy and improve production efficiency during the production process; In addition, through the Fuqiangxin electric high-efficiency energy-saving injection molding machine, energy consumption can be significantly reduced during the production process, achieving energy-saving and carbon reduction effects throughout the entire process from the material to the injection molding stage.

It has been proven through research that compared to traditional additives, the addition of Millad from Merican ® NX ® 8000 polypropylene (PP) transparent agent can effectively shorten the molding cycle by 10%, reduce the injection temperature, and reduce energy consumption by up to 10%, achieving energy-saving and carbon reduction effects. This achievement has also successfully obtained the UL Environmental Statement Verification (ECV) label. Millad ® NX ® 8000 polypropylene (PP) transparent agent has obtained professional certification due to its energy-saving effect. As long as polypropylene materials are treated with this transparent agent to increase transparency, they can display UL Environmental Declaration Verification (ECV) labels on injection molded parts.

During the injection molding process of polypropylene products, Merican cooperates with the material industry and cooperates with Taiwan’s major plastic injection molding machine manufacturer, Fuqiangxin Group. Using the Fuqiangxin electric high-efficiency energy-saving injection molding machine FA-e series, it adopts a fully electrified injection molding/storage design, and the injection unit is driven by a servo system, which can accurately control the injection molding position/speed. It is efficient and stable, meeting GB Class I energy-saving specifications, and many other optimized performances, It is mainly used in the production of high-precision products such as medical devices, such as needle cartridges in the precision medical industry.

In addition, in the multi-component two-color packaging container molding system, Merican also uses the CT-R series of Fuqiangxin all-electric rotary table two-color machines. Servo motors are used for injection molding, which can increase the speed of the rotary table by 30% to 50%, significantly reducing the molding cycle again. The speed switch is fast and stable, and can save up to 40% to 70% of power compared to conventional hydraulic motors. In addition, it is also possible to mold more than two colors or materials (such as food packaging containers, etc.) on the same machine to reduce labor or post machine processing procedures.

Currently, many Taiwanese manufacturers have selected and applied to produce a variety of plastic daily necessities, adding Millad ® NX ® After using 8000 polypropylene (PP) transparent agent, plastic products have a higher degree of transparency and clarity. For example, the transparency of the clothing storage box is better, and consumers do not have to open the storage box to have a clear view of the items in the storage box, reducing search time, while providing both visibility and efficiency benefits; In addition, on delicate gift packaging containers, as long as the transparent agent is added to the packaging container, it will present a glass-like transparency, greatly improving the texture and attracting public attention.

At the annual Plastic Innovation Forum (PIIF) held at the Plastic Center, we led the plastic industry to gain insight into innovation trends. At the PIIF, Merican also joined hands with Fuqiangxin to showcase a number of added Merican Millad ® NX ® 8000 polypropylene (PP) transparent agent products (such as food fresh-keeping boxes and medical needle cartridges) have received a very enthusiastic response; At the technical seminar, Fuqiang Xin shared more about the sustainable development of plastic manufacturing processes and received considerable responses.
