Nissei ASB pushes all-electric blow molding machine

At the recent NPE 2006 show in Chicago, USA, all-electric machines became the buzzwords of the blow molding machine manufacturers.

For processors, all-electric machines are a good way to fight energy costs.

Steve Kostecki, vice president of Western operations at Paradigm Packaging, based in Carlstadt, New Jersey, said: "Our energy costs are so high that all-electric machines have achieved a big leap in injection molding. This is where I come to NPE. The main reason for the exhibition."

At the booth of Nissei ASB Machinery Co., Ltd., the company's officials used a full-electric single-stage injection blow molding machine to produce PET mascara packaging containers, which will be put on the market one year later.

Jamie Pace, head of sales at ASB, said: "We believe that now is a good time to inject new momentum into the market and compete in the high-end market. This is the technology platform we rely on to measure market demand."

This all-electric machine consumes only 30% of the power of a hydraulic blower. Company officials said that the machine's molding performance is stable, less pollution, low noise, and is most suitable for small-scale mass production.

In addition, in order to enhance the market competitiveness of the company, Nissei has re-integrated its blow molding machine production plants in India and China into development priorities.

This means that the Indian plant, which has increased mold production capacity by 50%, will become the production center of Nissei. The company will first produce spare parts for small single-stage blow molding machines in India and ship them to Shanghai for assembly.

Pace said that Nissei will continue to produce reheat blow molding machines at its Shanghai plant, while Japanese plants are still dominated by large and medium-sized machines.

Before the end of this year, the company will also expand its plant in India.

On May 24, Ichiro Mizuuchi said in the financial results of the first half of 2006, "We pay special attention to improving the market competitiveness of our pillar products."

“We sent engineers to India to help the company move production to the Indian factory.”

Pace said that in 2005, Nissei found that the US blow molding machine market has become more active.

He said: "Although we completed the sales target in North America in 2005, the sales growth in the first half of the year was very slow, and it did not start to rise sharply until the second half of the year."

In contrast, Nissei has successfully completed its North American sales mission in the first half of this year.

At the same time, Meccanoplastica srl, based in Florence, Italy, also used the NPE exhibition to launch an all-electric injection blower for the first time in the North American market. The company works with Big 3 Precision Products Inc., a mold company based in Centralia, Ill., to build a foothold in the US market.

Jack McGarry, vice president of MBK/Blow Molding Machinery LLC, New Hope, Pa., said: "These companies have a broad customer base, so we hope to work with them to develop all-electric technology."

Meccanoplastica demonstrated on its own booth a polypropylene bottle for the hotel facility market. Each bottle weighs 4 grams and is machined on an 8-cavity mold line with a cycle time of 9 seconds, producing approximately 2,300 polypropylene bottles per hour.
