Negri Bossi at FAKUMA 2026: High-Efficiency Molding Solutions for the Food and Medical Sectors

Technological innovation, productivity, and sustainability are at the core of Negri Bossi’s participation at FAKUMA 2026, alongside its parent company Nissei Plastic and automation company Sytrama. The event, scheduled to take place in Friedrichshafen (Germany) from October 12 to 16, 2026, is a benchmark appointment for the plastics and rubber industry.

In Hall A3, Stand A3-3103, the group will showcase two next-generation injection molding machines, paired with robotic solutions and complete turnkey applications. These systems are fully prepared for smart factory requirements and designed to reduce environmental impact while optimizing molding processes.

In addition to consolidating Negri Bossi’s presence in the German market, the trade show will provide an opportunity to present two demonstration applications dedicated to high-value-added, highly stable sectors: food and medical.

Food – High-Efficiency LSR Molding

The exhibit will feature the NOVA5e110T H1540 (1080 kN) full-electric injection molding machine, equipped with a Sytrama S8 Robot and dedicated to liquid silicone rubber (LSR) molding.In collaboration with the German manufacturer of hot and cold runner systems, EWIKON, a 4-cavity food-grade muffin mold will be produced. The manufacturing cell represents a turnkey solution, thanks to the integration of a silicone dosing unit by the renowned German dosing equipment specialist Binks Reinhardt-Technik (with European headquarters in Kierspe, Germany) and a Ravizza Packaging bagging machine that automatically packages the finished product.

Medical – Precision and Process Control

Millimetric precision, total reliability, and absolute process control: these are the pillars of the new technological application born from the synergy between advanced molding technologies and cutting-edge design.

At the heart of the project is the NOVA5e220T-H820 (2160 kN) full-electric press, equipped with a PETEK laminar flow hood, selected for the production of single-dose, reclosable medical bottles. The containers will be manufactured using a high-performance multi-cavity mold developed by BDL.The equipment integrates proprietary, patented mechanical technologies from BDL, specifically developed to ensure high-precision centering of both the cores and the molded component.The system features surface finishes and structured coatings engineered to withstand the most demanding cycles in the medical sector.The mold architecture is completed by a Mold-Masters SymFill hot runner system, configured to ensure perfectly balanced filling in every single cavity.Thermal management and cooling efficiency are managed by a dedicated control unit, a hydraulic circuit monitoring manifold, and the Water Flow Monitor system. The structure relies on a mold base equipped with components from HASCO, BDL’s long-standing technology partner.This high-level application concretely demonstrates how the seamless integration of mold design, digital process control, and system technologies allows manufacturers to easily exceed the stringent quality and regulatory standards imposed by the global medical industry.

The production cell is completed by the new Sytrama rotary robot, which combines efficiency and compactness in a cutting-edge design. Its simple and essential structure is specifically engineered to guarantee maximum operational reliability and immediate integration into any production line. Thanks to its high movement speed, the unit drastically increases company productivity and slashes cycle times.

The system is ideal for cleanroom applications, thanks to a robust construction made primarily of stainless steel and anodized aluminum; its completely smooth surfaces eliminate any potential areas for dust and contaminant accumulation at the root. The entire system is contained within extremely small footprints—an engineering choice that optimizes available space and enables compact industrial automations without ever compromising on overall performance.

The stand will also feature a conveyor belt by MB Conveyors and solutions for dehumidification and dosing branded PIOVAN and Eurochiller.

Additionally, INNOVO will be present at our stand to offer comprehensive hardware and software solutions for plastic molding companies. Their innovative products are capable of boosting manufacturing companies’ performance, helping them organize internal processes and supporting them in identifying weak points and areas for improvement within their production organization.

2023 is the year of the complete recovery of the exhibition sector after the pandemic and we at Negri Bossi have already started with our first exhibition of the year which took place in Bologna, the MECSPE, where we experienced a success that far surpassed our expectations. In fact, visits to our stand have almost tripled compared to recent years and, in general, there has been a 50% higher participation than in previous exhibitions. After the excellent turnout also seen at Plastpol and Equiplast, we are now waiting for the biggest event of the year based in Italy which is PLAST: after K, it is the most important exhibition in our sector. We will be present on stand C/D n°121/122 in pavilion 24 with a space of 410 square meters where the leading products will be exhibited.

In the exhibition space, there are two fifth-generation all-electric machines, from our NOVA 5eT range, born from the synergy between Italian design and Japanese technology, together with a large-tonnage machine, the NOVA P. The NOVA 5eT will be exhibited in two different sizes, one 80 and the other 180 t, which print medical and high-tech parts which are among the most suitable sectors for the use of electrical machines known for their precision and cleanliness.  This series in particular offers great improvements in terms of performance thanks to the new pre-pack system and the flat-clamp system.

The latter consists of a new 5-point toggle, optimised to guarantee optimal contact between the mould and plates also in the nozzle area, while the pre-pack guarantees the precise dose of the injected material, and repeatability in production.

The third and last machine present will be a NOVA P1000-H13600 with two planes and a screw diameter of  120 mm which, for the event, will mould a PP container with a 25-second cycle time, thanks to a single-cavity mould.

Furthermore, the machines are equipped with the Sytrama robot, a company of the group based in Vignate (MI). The NOVA 5eT will be presented with the writing “NISSEI PLASTIC JAPAN MADE” under the logo to make the origin of the product clear.

Of course, all the Negri Bossi staff will be available to welcome and assist anyone who wants to learn about the brand’s technology which, with its latest developments, is preparing to cover new market segments.
