In the sustainable development process of the plastic industry, the application of recycled materials is increasingly becoming a key link, and the advanced processing technologies that complement it are continuously evolving to meet the production demands for high-quality products.

A typical example is the practice of the German company Osko, which uses the Arburg Allrounder 720 A Ultimate+ all-electric injection molding machine to produce garden pots from post-consumer recycled polypropylene (PCR-PP).

Process Innovation: Core Advantages of Fully Electric Injection Molding Technology

Osko has chosen the fully electric Allrounder 720 A injection molding machine to achieve sustainable production of thin-walled, lightweight products by maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing resource consumption.

This device reshapes industry standards through three technological breakthroughs:

1. Energy consumption sharply reduced by 45%: Compared to the traditional packaging injection molding machine's power consumption of 68 kWh/h, this model only requires 37 kWh/h;

2. High-Performance Injection Unit: The injection mechanism with optimized design, combined with a high-precision servo motor, achieves an injection speed of 400mm/s and a stable injection pressure of 2000bar.

3. Ultra-thin Wall Production Technology: Advanced servo control technology works in conjunction with precise instruction units to achieve a very high flow path ratio/wall thickness ratio, laying the foundation for the production of thin-walled components.

Material diversity:

From recycled plastics to biopolymers, in addition to PCR-PP, Osko also uses bio-based polybutylene succinate (PBS) to produce the Oskar series of flower pots. This biopolymer, derived from renewable resources, has degradation properties similar to wood, further expanding the boundaries of eco-friendly products.

Intelligent control system:

To ensure the production stability of recycled materials, the equipment is equipped with the aXw Control RecyclatePilot system, which can compensate for material quality fluctuations in real time.

Continuously monitor the mold filling status to ensure the consistency of the flowerpot quality.

• Intelligently adjust the dosage of colorants and additives to maintain the recyclability of materials.
