Decentralized electric drive for precise mould-stop position

The El-Exis SP’s clamping unit with its decentralized electric drive provides high-speed, careful mould opening and closing in order to achieve a highly precise mould-stop position. This way, the labels are accurately placed and the cups are removed correctly. An NC5 plus control guarantees easy and intuitive machine operation. Numerous software features and adjustment options specially developed for packaging producers facilitate process optimisation.

The El-Exis SP is specially designed for high-speed packaging applications.

15 years of experience with the El-Exis machine range

El-Exis SP injection moulding machines are particular suited for thin-wall packaging applications. Sumitomo (SHI) Demag can look back on a total of 20 years of market expertise and 15 years of experience with the El-Exis machine range. When the company developed the El-Exis range, the aspect of cost-efficiency was always at the top of the agenda.
