Zahoransky Brings a Black Forest Feeling to Interbrush

Interbrush attendees who visited the ZAHORANSKY booth were greeted by the sounds of chirping birds and rushing waterfalls, and by the fresh scent of fir trees. Black Forest Quality - surrounded by a Black Forest feeling - was the motto of the exhibition. ZAHORANSKY presented selected machines from its large machine portfolio at its 1,700 m² booth. These gave visitors an insight into the company's innovations and new developments, as well as displaying a representative cross-section of the current ZAHORANSKY product range.

While the “foyer” whisked guests (customers, partners, suppliers) away to a Black Forest atmosphere, the exhibition area reflected the ambiance of the production hall at Todtnau-Geschwend. The 18 exhibits displayed were divided into the application areas of Household Technology, Oral Care, and General Applications.

In the Household Technology area, the Z.PARD 6225 and Z.TIGER machines on display attracted great interest. Z.PARD is the new generation of machine for cost-effective, semi- automated household brush production. It is equipped with three stations in twin carousel design and five axes for drilling and tufting. For quickly programming brush profiles, it can be controlled both online and offline using the 3D-BRUSH DESIGNER. It can create even complex hole fields within a short period of time, without specialized programming knowledge.

For applications requiring especially high output, the Z.TIGER 8225 MT is the right choice. It tufts 1,200 tufts per minute and up to 770 scrub brushes in an hour. The five axis Z.TIGER has four processing stations for feeding, drilling, and tufting, as well as for trimming and optional flagging. It has extremely short standstill times of just 1.5 sec. With this Black Forest turbo charger for household brush production, customers can always stay a step ahead.

The exhibits in the Oral Care area focused on machines from the Z.VAMP and Z.ORCA series. The two Z.VAMP machines on display are entirely new developments. Their sophisticated technology makes it possible to manufacture filament plates or complete toothbrushes without metal anchors using 3D-tufting processes. Proven, reliable Z.AERO technology provided the inspiration behind the tuft configuration of the new Z.VAMP series. This technology makes it possible to produce various colors and shapes in a single bundle (tuft in tuft). Tuft positions of up to 12° are possible, and the cross-section geometry of the tufts can be freely selected.

The Z.ORCA machines are technology leaders offering unbeatable quality. Changeovers in record time are possible with just a few tools, partially fully automated and recipe controlled. This allows companies to gain valuable production time.

Automated feeding of chemically tapered filaments is an all new feature. This efficient production technology, combined with optimizations to the tufting process, guarantees an unprecedented level of toothbrush quality, as well as lower reworking rates than ever before and almost no waste. This reduces raw material and personnel costs significantly.

The exhibition program was rounded off by both the blister packaging system Z.PACK 5 and by manufacturing toothbrush handles with a Z.BASIC LINE injection mold on a two-component injection molding machine. One outstanding highlight from our own toolmaking department was an economical, entry-level solution for inexpensively producing two- component toothbrush handles. Combined with a self-sufficient boy injection unit and a standard injection molding machine, an 8- compartment Z.BASIC LINE injection mold was used to inject eight preform parts (PP) and eight finished molded parts (TPE) in each cycle with a cycle of 25 sec. This perfect low-cost solution – with outstanding ZAHORANSKY quality – makes BASIC LINE injection molds up to 30 percent less expensive in comparison to injection molds with traditional designs.

The Z.PACK 5 blister packaging machine is the right full blister machine for packaging almost any product in the non-food and cosmetics areas. The Z.PACK 5 which was on display is the ideal choice for producing small and medium batch sizes.

All machines in the Z.PACK series offer quick changeovers to another format. This is an especially important benefit for contract packaging operations with many changing formats. They are extremely attractive due to a large number of additional automation solutions. These are offered for the areas of both product feeding and final packaging.

In addition, the stand party on the second evening of the trade fair offered plenty of opportunity for professional discussions and networking. Round about 600 international guests were pleased to accept our invitation, and spent an entertaining evening enjoying music and a show.

After three highly successful trade fair days, the 12th Interbrush came to a close on Friday, April 29th. Over 7,500 industry specialists from around 90 nations attended the world’s leading professional trade fair, the mecca of the paint brush and brush industry.

“Interbrush 2016 was a very successful trade fair for us,” summarized Robert Dous, Member of the Executive Board and responsible for Sales, Marketing, Service, and Product Management. “We were able to present a broad selection of our machine portfolio to an international public, as well as a large number of new developments. We are very satisfied with our commercial success. We were able to make multiple spontaneous deals directly at the trade fair, and we expect to receive considerable business from the trade fair based on the discussions we held and the important new international contacts we made.”
