French injection moulding machine manufacturer, BILLION, is flourishing since its takeover by Korbinian Keisl, just seven years ago. Since this time, the company has introduced the now well known SELECT range of allelectric, highly energy efficient machines from 40 to 600T, including twin shot versions, which are very much part of the heritage at BILLION. Customers have been highly satisfied with the performance, reliability and outstanding efficiency of the machines with proven case studies showing real energy savings of 60 – 70% across a broad range of applications. The launch of the new 550T / 600T SELECT — first displayed at K2013 — with MINIMAX maintains the energy efficiency

celebrating 10 years of partnership has been the driving force in the development of the new Zeres Series right from the outset. By combining the two systems, servo-electric drive plus hydraulics, the Zeres now comfortably bridges the gap between all traditional hydraulically oriented processors
and the all-electric Venus Series. In its essential features, the Zeres is identical in design to the Venus II Series and offers the customer the fullest dynamics and precision, while sustaining more production efficiency because of double-digit percentage energy savings.

Welcome to the future of Sandretto parts along with Romi parts for the new machines. Following the brand transition from Sandretto to Romi, from 2015 we will drop the Sandretto name. This is a way to better reflect the company and our current range of machines. Again nothing changes as far as support goes, Romi is the new name for Sandretto and all the expertise that comes with it. All of our Sandretto UK existing staff have remained as well as drawings and information of all machines ever made by Sandretto
and the level of service will not be affected. We are also bringing Romi’s machine tools to the UK which complements the portfolio and strengthens Romi’s presence in the country. Interplas 2014 was chosen by Romi/Sandretto as the place to show publicly the result of all the work put in on this transition and joining of the companies by displaying both machines from the plastic injection division and products from the machine tools division.

Sandretto was built in the UK on a foundation of good service, support and well valued machines. In 2008, Sandretto became a very important part of Romi’s international expansion plan. Romi and Sandretto put together one strategy in Europe aiming to attend to the customer’s needs, providing good service, fast spare parts supply and even better machines, built under history and tradition of two very strong machine manufacturers. Romi/Sandretto is a healthy company capable of offering machines designed for industry needs whilst providing support for its existing loyal customers. The proof is in the pudding, sales are on the rise and most of the customers who purchased their first Romi Machine followed with second and third orders. Many of you have been to our facilities in Rugby (one of the best in the industry) and witnessed our inventory of spare parts, and because we know the importance of keeping your uptime to the maximum, that inventory will keep holding Sandretto

By any standard, Wittmann Battenfeld injection moulding machines are something special: Ever since the Wittmann Group acquired Battenfeld on April 1, 2008 there was a clear intent to lead the injection moulding field, both in terms of plastics technology and user friendliness. Six years on and that vision is coming true. Despite its growing scale – sales in over 60 countries - Wittmann Battenfeld remains family owned and family run with values to match. The company is also unique in the industry in being able to draw upon the resources of the Wittmann Group and offer a ‘one stop shop’ to all moulding customers. Automation, temperature control, materials handling and drying can all be added to the injection moulding machine in order to provide the customer with complete production cells.

DRYING HAS NEVER BEEN THIS EFFICIENT: ETA plus®
LUXOR - now available with ETA plus® ETA plus® considerably reduces energy consumption and protects materials. When it comes to drying, saving energy is a key concern. We have developed a system that combines airflow regulation with a temperature adjustment feature – that can be disabled if required –and efficient waste heat recovery. The result? A drying system that cuts energy consumption by up to 64%: ETA plus® . Motan Colortronic Limited - United Kingdom sales@motan-colortronic.co.uk
