StackTeck to showcase collapsing core technology at K2022

Canada’s StackTeck Systems Ltd., a global manufacturer of multi-cavity, high-volume production moulds for thinwall packaging, closures, PET preforms, medical, and complete IML automation systems, will be showcasing its latest innovations including a patent-pending five-piece collapsing core technology, which was used recently to produce the very first injection moulded plastic can in the industry.

Targeted at packaging applications, StackTeck’s newest and improved patent-pending five-piece collapsing core is a technology offered to customers looking for plastic part design freedom. In certain applications large undercuts are required that can be enabled using the collapsing core approach while maintaining fast cycle times.

The technology at this edition of the show, taking place from 19-26 October in Dusseldorf, Germany, will be displayed at StackTeck’s Hall 1 booth C29, where it will also feature the latest technologies with plastic parts and steel components. Some of these include PET Preform moulds highlighting cooling and post mould cooling technologies, servo driven technology for different applications, co-injection, multi-material, specialty coatings, KoolTrack, TRIM (Thin Recess Injection Moulding), IML and closure technologies.

Jordan Robertson, VP Business Development and Marketing stated: “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to be back at the K Show and continue a dialogue with our customers about our latest developments. We are constantly pushing the envelope to add more to our portfolio of mould technologies, which are driven by our desire to offer more sustainable options and real advantages to our customers.”

For preforms, PiCOOL is one of StackTeck’s patented technologies that has been engineered to enhance the productivity of PET preform moulding, offering a significantly reduced preform exit temperature, and shorter cooling time to our customers looking to improve preform moulding operations.

Light weighting continues to be one of the top priorities at StackTeck and its TRIM technology has been evolving since its creation. It has now expanded to larger applications like industrial pails, focusing on how much thinner parts can be made, and how much more weight can be saved. These are tangible advantages that are passed on to customers looking for sustainable solutions in the industry, with substantial carbon footprint benefits.
