negri bossi held on October 15 an open day at its facilities in Pallejà (Barcelona) to present new Janus VJ 210 model. Universal plastics / Interempresas has shifted far so the director Manager of Negri Bossi, Alberto Garrido, explain in detail the main features of this new line of injectors.

Explained Alberto Garrido, managing director of Negri Bossi, the name Janus of the new line of machines of Negri Bossi refers to one of the most important deities in Roman times, the God Janus, also known as the divinity of 'two faces' that had the gift of seeing both the past and the future, "we have taken this name as a step that represents this new technology from the past and the future of injection machines," said Garrido.

Injection machines there are basically two types of technology, completely hydraulic machines and fully electric drive. All are good for certain productions. "The new technology of Janus incorporates the best of both, is an intermediate solution and the most balanced." "The main innovation is that you it's a hybrid machine where all the drive of the machine is electric, except for the part of injection which is hydraulic, electrical machines, in some cases, may have some limitations," added the Manager of Negri Bossi.

Another novelty of the machine is the new control cabinet. This is much more complete and with a much faster response. It includes a key that you can use each of the people who work with this machine. "To work with the machine the user has to identify itself by placing the key in a circle in the control." "This limited access, and we also know at every moment what each person has been doing."

Usually, the energy consumption of a machine of 210 tons has an installed power of almost 50 kilowatts. This machine has a 6 kW, that consumption is very low and does not reach 15 per cent. "Thanks to the electrical plasticizing, consumption is very low," he added.

"For the plasticizing, this machine has a torque coupled directly to the spindle motor and encime has a hydraulic block for the actuation of the injection". There is also another engine torque which activates the movement of the closure through a ball spindle. "The control system is the system canvas that we have been using since 1998 with very good results," concludes Garrido.
