K 2013, the No.1 trade fair for plastics and rubber industry worldwide, was held on October 16-23 in Düsseldorf, Germany. This global grand event not only plays an active role in technical innovation and efficiency improvement, but also brings new business opportunities for the industries.
As a new participant of K 2013, Yizumi displayed two injection molding systems in an 150 sqm booth with modern and fresh decoration at Hall 14/A34, with the purpose of showcasing the company’s overall strength and promoting the brand image. During the eight-day event, Yizumi’s stand drew plenty of industry experts and visitors for business talks and inquires.
Yizumi, whose core competitiveness was “quick delivery of high quality products for sub-markets”, highlighted turnkey solutions for high-speed injection molding and showed two kinds of high-efficiency automatic integrated systems: UN200SM2 automatic production line for iPhone 5 cases and UN260SC high-speed in-mold labeling production line for thin-walled container.
UN200SM2 is a Yizumi-developed energy-saving servo injection molding machine that has standard features including Japan’s YUKEN ASE servo pump system, MITSUBISHI servo driver and servo motor with less energy consumption and smooth operation, as well as Japan’s STAR high-performance controller with scanning time of 1ms. At the exhibition, this machine was shown with a 2+2 cavity automatic iPhone 5 cases production system that consists of injection molding machine, raw material processing system, mold, automatic removal and assembly robot and conveyor. This injection molding product line can meet customer’s demand for high-level automatic production.
UN260SC injection molding machine is tailored for high-speed injection molding of thin-walled packaging applications and features accumulator-driven hydraulic system, servo closed-loop control of injection, holding pressure and mold opening & closing, maximum injection speed up to 600mm/s, synchronized melting and ejection, dry cycle time less than 2 seconds and whole molding cycle within 5 seconds. At K 2013, this injection molding machine ran with the in-mold labeling system and other auxiliary equipment to demonstrate the manufacturing of thin-walled food containers in a two-cavity mold, showing automation and environmental protection in labeling, removal and stacking of injection molded parts.
In terms of exhibitors at K 2013, half of them were from outside Germany and the number of Chinese exhibitors had increased significantly compared to the previous K show, which indicated that Chinese equipment is becoming more popular in European market. As for the visitors, a significant portion of them were from outside Europe, and most of these international visitors came from South America and the Middle East. Asian customers were small in numbers.
At K 2013, Yizumi received not only its overseas agents but also nearly one thousand customers throughout the world. Old customers thought highly of Yizumi’s machines because of their satisfactory stability and performance. Other advantages of the machines such as good looking, distinct performance characteristics and economical auxiliary equipment also enabled Yizumi to acquire considerable new inquiries on the exhibits and other products. Many customers confirmed their purchase with Yizumi in future.
Yizumi considered its first debut at K2013 as a great success because the participation remarkably contributed to brand promotion and overseas market development. It is believed to be a new milestone in Yizumi’s globalization strategy!
