Размисъл и преглед: Пробиви в областта на интелигентните технологии в каучуковата и пластмасовата промишленост на K Show 2025, Германия

Two weeks have passed since the K Show 2025 in Germany concluded. While the bustling crowds of the event have subsided, the technological innovations and insightful dialogues that foreshadow the industry’s future are still worth reflecting upon after careful consideration.

Looking back at the various booths, in core areas such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and molds, the leading companies are showcasing not just individual machines, but the underlying logic for building the factory of the future.

1. Injection Molding Solutions: Yizumi Targets High Precision and Integration

Yizumi, a leading domestic injection molding company, showcased its micron-level micro injection molding machine, PH high-speed machine series, and industrial 3D printer. Yizumi’s micro precision injection molding machine achieves micron-level precision injection molding through a high-rigidity structural design, dedicated control system, and cleanroom compatibility, meeting the stringent requirements of the medical field for ultra-high precision and clean production. The newly designed PH series high-speed machine, designed for the packaging industry, integrates the original 4-6 production processes for composite tubing into a single step, significantly reducing production costs and cycle time, and allowing for flexible label replacement to meet customized needs. This reshapes the cost structure of packaging products. Yizumi’s multi-material flexible manufacturing solution breaks through the limitations of traditional mold forming, providing a new paradigm of rapid response and energy-efficient production for industries such as office supplies through digital and flexible manufacturing methods.

This reveals a clear trend to the industry: the market for general-purpose machines is being squeezed, and future growth lies in providing “specialized, refined, unique, and innovative” solutions for specific application scenarios. The value of technology is shifting from “what it can do” to “how well it can do it for a specific scenario.”

2. Extrusion Production Line: Kingwell Machinery Covers Core Needs Across the Entire Industry Chain

In the extrusion field, Kingwell Machinery made a strong appearance with three core booths (16D41 & 9E21 & 8bF11-1) and the Kotes booth (14A18). Leveraging its strength in a “global ecosystem,” Kingwell interpreted the core theme of this year’s K Show: “Green – Intelligent – ​​Responsible.” Kingwell’s customized solutions showcased on-site focused on core industry needs, creating adaptable systems and addressing industry pain points with continuously iterating technological capabilities. Whether supporting the upgrading of clean energy industries such as photovoltaics, meeting the environmental requirements of green buildings and municipal engineering, or enhancing the preservation and protection capabilities of food packaging, mature and reliable technical support is provided. The solutions also incorporate energy-saving design and resource recycling concepts, helping the industry build a low-carbon development closed loop through the collaborative design of production and recycling processes.

With “deeply cultivating the global market and closely meeting customer needs” as its core principle, Kingway Machinery is accelerating its global expansion, focusing on countries with strong economies and high-potential regions worldwide! It empowers global customers with a “service center + factory” model, building a new international service network!

3. Blown Film Technology: W&H Introduces “Autopilot” Blown Film Concept

In the blown film field, W&H’s five-layer co-extrusion blown film machine, incorporating the “autopilot” concept, became a focal point of the exhibition. This equipment can sense ambient temperature, airflow conditions, and film bubble stability in real time and automatically optimize itself. During the exhibition, it was started up on-site, automatically increasing production capacity from 750 kg to 1068 kg without altering film quality, thickness, or uniformity. This technological breakthrough means that the efficiency and stability of blown film production no longer overly rely on operator experience, achieving a qualitative leap.

This signifies that the production optimization model is shifting from “relying on human experience” to “relying on algorithmic intelligence,” setting a new competitive benchmark for the entire blown film industry—the competitiveness of future equipment will largely depend on its level of “intelligence.”

4. Mold System: Jingcheng Intelligent Mold Heads Possess “Process Memory”

In the core mold field, Jingcheng’s IM System intelligent precision mold heads, lithium battery separator mold heads, perovskite coating mold heads, and blown film mold heads attracted considerable attention.

The IM System intelligent precision mold head was a focal point, driven by AI algorithms: through precise point-to-point adjustment of motors, it achieves real-time optimization of production parameters, allowing the mold head to move from “being controlled” to “self-adjusting.” This significantly reduces the stabilization time for new order production from the traditional 30 minutes to 5-10 minutes, greatly improving the level of production intelligence and process repeatability.

Every technological iteration in the industry revolves around “efficiency, energy consumption, intelligence, and reliability,” which is precisely the direction that Jingcheng Times has been deeply committed to for a long time. Competition in intelligent manufacturing is deepening from complete machines to downstream core components. Intelligent molds ensure process consistency, providing a reliable execution foundation for the intelligentization of the entire production line, and are a key step in realizing end-to-end digital twins.

5. The K Show Becomes an Industry Trendsetter, with Intelligentization as a Common Theme

As a triennial global event for the plastics and rubber industry, K Show is more than just an exhibition. It is a beacon of wisdom, an arena showcasing innovation, and a trendsetter propelling the industry towards the future. This year’s K Show, themed “The Power of Plastics: A Green Future – Intelligent Creation – Responsible Collaboration,” incorporated three core concepts throughout the event. Throughout the exhibition, intelligentization was no longer just a concept, but a core means to tangibly improve production capacity, quality, and stability. From the “micron precision” of injection molding to the “customized solutions” of extrusion, and the “autonomous driving” of blown film and the “process memory” of molds, cutting-edge technologies in various fields all point to the same future: smarter, more efficient, and less reliant on manual labor. The conclusion of the exhibition marks the beginning of the next journey. Companies have accumulated strength and look forward to returning to this world-class stage three years later with even more advanced technologies and products. In addition, during the exhibition, Sulink achieved a total of 3.01 million exposures and more than 260,000 viewers by live streaming on Douyin for 7 days, which also reflects the high attention paid by the global industry to the technological innovations of this year’s K Expo.
