The Wintec line of servo-hyrdaulic two-platen toggle machines are back at NPE. This time in Orlando, the machine will mold garage floor tiles from 100% recycled ocean waste, using an integrated Engel viper 40 linear robot for part removal and applying iQ weight control to simplifies the use of recycled materials. Wintec customer CH3 Solutions supplies the mold for this cell, with raw material from Chilean firm Atando Cabos, which takes on ocean waste by recycling discarded fishing ropes in Patagonia. ExxonMobil supplies material and additives for enhanced processing of the reclaimed resin.
