SPAL Automotive
SPAL Automotive is an Italian company based in Correggio (RE), founded in 1959 and specialized in the production of electromechanical components for the automotive industry. The company works in the design, production and global trade of axial and centrifugal electric fans for cars, motorcycles, buses, off-road vehicles, earthmoving machines, agricultural tractors, trucks and industrial equipment. Starting in 2013, SPAL began its collaboration with EPF, focusing on the fully electric Shibaura Machine injection molding machines. This collaboration has created a real production department consisting of 21 injection molding machines with a capacity from 50 to 1800 tons. The advantages of working with EPF are: a longer cycle time and the possibility of increasing production capacity, a quieter department, lower consumption compared to hydraulic injection molding machines and more streamlined logistics.
INVAT
INVAT is a leading international player in the closures sector for metal, glass, and PET, producing over 500 million pieces annually. In its new factory, the company has adopted Shibaura Machine full electric injection molding machines (II/III series) and has experienced numerous advantages, from repeatability and ease of cleaning to precision in molding and significant reductions in production costs. EPF Plastic compared two injection molding machines of the same tonnage in the INVAT molding department—one fully electric (EC350SXIII) and the other a new generation hydraulic model from a competitor. With the same mold and molding conditions, we observed significant energy savings, all confirmed by a series of measurements conducted on the machines.
