Vacuum sucker

Tube products use their own package as the mould. The tube is dispensed from a stack into a holder where it is held vertically by its rim. The liquid mix is dispensed into the tube, and the lid is picked up from a stack, placed on top by a vacuum sucker and heat-sealed onto the rim. The filled and sealed tubes are then frozen on a conveyor belt in the hardening tunnel. 

The molds not only include the connections and the periphery, but also the electrodes and milling programs. These must be present in order to be able to perform a quick repair in case of damage. It should be specified to the mold supplier how the electrodes are set up, so that a precise position in the mold can be found. Each plastic molded part may include grippers, auxiliary devices such as foil feeding, stentering frames, sprue grippers, vacuum suckers, hot runner nozzles, and gas and water injectors.
