Peachtree City, Ga. — Magic MP SpA is entering into new technical products with its all-electric accumulator head extrusion blow molding machines.
"We wanted to take the technology that we learn and we develop through the years to apply in this specific sector," said Pietro Spiga, North America sales and marketing manager for Magic. "In general, what we do is basically develop something that doesn't exist."
The company said the fully electric accumulator head extrusion blow molding machine, which is being manufactured in Italy, uses 50 percent less energy than a conventional machine.
The machine is also Magic's largest — about double the size of its typical machines.
The machine can be used in clean room settings, and it offers reduced maintenance costs and higher efficiency.
"We have been always on the all-electric with extrusion blow molding," Spiga said. "Then we apply that technology on a new project. This is a completely new line."
The accumulator development was driven by the customer interest, Spiga said in an interview at the Society of Plastics Engineers Annual Blow Molding Conference in Peachtree City.
