A complete IML production line integrates the injection molding machine, mold, IML robot, label handling and downstream automation into one coordinated production system.
An IML production line automates label placement, injection molding, product takeout and subsequent handling in one continuous production process.
HecosTech develops customized IML production lines for plastic packaging manufacturers, including solutions for food containers, cups, lids, buckets and other injection molded products.
Each system can be configured according to the customer’s product, mold, injection molding machine and production requirements.
How Does an IML Production Line Work?
The robot places the label inside the mold before injection as part of the in-mold labeling process. After molding, the finished product is removed automatically and transferred for stacking, inspection, conveying or packaging according to the project.
