Packaging
Smart manufacturing is an essential part of the next industrial revolution.
It goes beyond traditional automation towards a fully connected and flexible system.
In the packaging industry, smart technology helps to increase productivity, enable self-optimization, and enhance safety and functionality in the manufacturing process.
It also ensures strict regulatory requirements and high production standards are met.
Today...
...converting companies and producers are additionally challenged with the global crisis of packaging waste and its environmental implications.
To help you stay abreast of current industry practices, our teams of experts in Packaging Solutions are here to accompany you at every stage of your project, from strategic planning and project management through equipment supply and installation to technical service.
We understand the demands and trends of the industry in various markets.

"Fast Moving Consumer Goods"!
Lipi-Solutions has comprehensive know-how in the field of thin-wall packaging.
Tools for IML containers for a wide variety of foods are also part of the range, as are 2-component packaging, barrier packaging, airline cups, drinking glasses and disposable cutlery.
Customized solutions are the core competence.
With injection molding machines that run in uninterrupted mass production, the use of materials contributes up to 70% to the total costs of ownership - even a small weight reduction of the individual product therefore has a high overall
effect on the profitability of a production plant. But where can the material be saved without impairing the functionality of the packaging? Handles and lids - the functional structures on packaging - require a certain amount of material in
reserve in order to reliably fulfill their purpose.
Thus, the material savings are mostly achieved by reducing the wall thickness.
Manufacturing Processes
The quality of your molded parts is largely determined by expierience in processing and the tool´s requirements. The qualitative and thus economic success is therefore directly related to the efficiency of the production process.
Claim our competence as early as possible at the beginning of a development process in order to achieve the most economical solution possible.
A reduced wall thickness in thin-walled packaging requires injection molding machines that can cope with the demanding production process. Therefore, special requirements are placed on both the injection and the clamping unit.

Importance
The thinner the packaging is produced, the greater the flow path/wall thickness ratio. In order to ensure that the process flow runs smoothly and ensure consistently high part quality, two aspects are particularly important:
- High injection dynamics: Machines that are tailor-made for the production of thin-walled packaging achieve high injection speeds. In addition, they have high acceleration in order to achieve these speeds even with the very short injection strokes that are customary in the industry.
- High process consistency: Ensuring constant process parameters is a challenge given the extreme machine movements. The parameters are subject to a very narrow range of fluctuation, because even the smallest deviations can decide between a good part and a reject due to the low wall thickness.
