Production in polycarbonate moulds

The starchless moulding technology focuses on cleanliness and the prevention of cross-contamination. By precisely spraying the cavities before depositing and achieving orderly demoulding, it ensures gentle product handling and provides a perfect foundation for subsequent product treatment.

Advantages:

  • Very tight product layout, thus increased plant capacity
  • Resistant to wearing substances
  • Simple plant handling thanks to its low weight
  • Simple and detailed implementation of complex product shapes
  • Prevention of contamination
