drinktec 2025: WITTMANN will present screw cap production on high-speed machine

The EcoPower Xpress is an all-electric high-speed machine whose extremely dynamic drive axes for injection, closing and opening are specially designed for fast movements and maximum control accuracy. With the EcoPower Xpress, injection speeds of up to 650 mm/s and injection pressures of up to 2500 bar are within reach. These values are made possible by all-electric plasticizing units combined with a fast-responding encapsulated injection aggregate. This is why the EcoPower Xpress is predestined for manufacturing items such as caps and closures. For the production of standardized closing caps, maximal mold speeds together with short strokes and optimal dosing performance must be achieved. The EcoPower Xpress fulfils all of these requirements with a reliable and safe production process over many years, and with cycle times far below 2.5 seconds. Moreover, the energy consumption rates are kept extremely low by the machine’s efficient servo-electric drive system.
