[hurrytimer id="3281"]BECK IML
With more than 35 years of experience in the IML injection molding process, we are able to develop the optimal automation solution for almost any application. Our IML technology enables high-quality, durable decoration of plastic packaging directly in the injection molding process.
The range of applications extends from small packaging such as coffee capsules, silicone cartridges, and yogurt pots to 60-liter buckets. There is almost no type of packaging for which we have not already developed an IML decoration solution, whether for IML for cups, lids, buckets or trays. By using in-mold labeling, we offer an innovative way to provide packaging with high-quality, abrasion-resistant labels.
High-precision automation: BECK IML ensures accurate and repeatable label positioning during the injection molding process. This level of accuracy minimizes scrap and ensures consistent product quality.
Optimal recyclability: Thanks to the use of the same material for the label and component, IML technology enables decoration without compromising recyclability.
Excellent labeling: The latest generation of labels offer both decorative and functional elements. RFID, QR codes, thermal indicators, and digital watermarks ensure increased connectivity, tamper resistance, and protection against mix-ups. Labels printed on the back enable scratch- and alcohol-resistant decoration.
Advanced visual inspection: Advanced visual inspection technology ensures 100% quality control, detects defective products in real time, and sorts them out.
Protection against damage to parts: Damage is prevented thanks to oriented removal of parts from the mold. High-Speed Take-Out technology supports this process by enabling rapid and accurate part handling while preserving component integrity.
Integrated workflow: Seamless communication takes place between the various components of the system. This networked workflow reduces downtime and optimizes production efficiency.
We build our IML systems according to the specific requirements of our customers and, if desired, integrate them into the design process. We offer a wide range of options for our IML systems, from the installation of a separate handle for a plastic bucket to quality inspection using highly specialized camera systems or the connection of the system to a customer's MES system. Furthermore, with our Down Stream automation solutions, we have the option of packaging the labeled products directly into plastic bags and/or transporting them fully automatically in cardboard boxes.
We primarily use servo motors for our movements, which are state-of-the-art in terms of performance and energy consumption. Our systems are operated via touch panels with integrated maintenance plans and intuitive menu navigation. Extensive documentation in the customer's language and CE or UL conformity are included in the scope of delivery of every system.
The service life of packaging designs is becoming shorter and shorter. For this reason, our systems are designed so that they can be used for several different packaging types. It is very important to define in advance how wide the range of applications needs to be to develop the right solution. Experienced employees support our customers in making the right decisions and ensure that the system ultimately meets the customers’ requirements exactly.
