Innovative Solutions in Tooling, Automation and Quality Control Among the Highlights of Interplast 2026
August, 5, 2026 - Interplast – The Plastic Technology Integration Trade Fair and Congress - , organized by Messe Brasil, will take place from August 25 to 28, 2026, in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The event brings together companies showcasing solutions for mold and die development, high-precision components, process maintenance, quality control, industrial automation, and equipments for plastics processing. The technologies on display demonstrate how the integration of engineering, process intelligence, and innovation enhances productivity, reduces operating costs, improves equipment reliability, and meets the industry’s growing demands for efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness. A major manufacturer and distributor of mold and die components, Matripeças will showcase at Interplast a comprehensive portfolio combining its own manufacturing with internationally products from leading global brands. At its booth, visitors will find solutions for plastics injection molds and stamping dies, designed to meet the demands of toolmakers and plastics processors. The combination of in-house engineering, rigorous product selection, and partnerships with global manufacturers ensures precision, durability, and reliability, Matripeças says. Chem-Trend will bring to Interplast solutions such as its Ultra Purge line of chemical purging compounds and the Lusin mold maintenance system. Ultra Purge products are specially developed for rapid cleaning, color changes, and contaminant removal in thermoplastic processing. Unlike conventional mechanical purging solutions, Ultra Purge works through a chemical reaction that breaks down carbon deposits accumulated on the screw. According to Chem-Trend, this non-abrasive technology protects screws and machine components from premature wear while its expanding agent reaches difficult areas and dead spots where residues typically accumulate. The result is deep cleaning, significantly reduced setup times, and lower scrap generation, the manufacturer claims. In many applications, the technology can reduce purging costs by up to 75%, delivering measurable financial benefits, Chem-Trend says. At Interplast 2026, Polimold will highlight a new generation of plastic injection molding solutions that combine engineering, innovation, and process intelligence. With 100% Brazilian technology, in-house engineering, and a global presence, the company offers a portfolio serving toolmakers and major plastics processors in the automotive, packaging, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and technical parts industries. Among its featured innovations are the Infinity Systems, a well-established hot runner concept that combines design flexibility, reliability, and operational efficiency, optimizing cycle times, minimizing raw material consumption, and increasing productivity, the company claims. Polimold will also present the MultCaps Line, an innovative solution integrating the mold base and hot runner system into a single plug-and-play platform. By simplifying tooling design, reducing manufacturing time, and integrating components, the system enables customers to focus entirely on cavity performance while improving process efficiency and precision. Zhoushan Nanhaiya Plastic Machinery participates in Interplast with its specialized range of screws and barrels for extrusion and injection molding machines. With decades of experience and expertise in precision engineering solutions, the company has become a supplier to the global plastics industry. According to the company, Its screw and barrel systems are designed for demanding industrial applications requiring high wear resistance and operational efficiency. Developed for single-screw extruders, conical twin-screw systems, and injection molding machines, these components allow for thermal and mechanical stability when processing materials such as PVC, EVA, PE, and aluminum-plastic composite panel compounds. Solutions for Product Testing and Industrial Automation Hebert Lambert participates in Interplast 2026 with products and services focusing on the certification and quality of recycled materials in the plastics industry. Operating since 2001, the company offers a range of laboratory equipment designed to evaluate the mechanical and physical properties of polymers.. Hebert Lambert will showcase its line of plastic testing equipment, designed and manufactured in-house to allow for readily available domestic components for maintenance and calibration. Featured products include melt flow index testers, Izod and Charpy impact testing machines, specimen notchers, tensile testing machines, and other essential laboratory equipment for quality control and product development. These systems play a key role in testing both recycled and virgin plastic materials. Soma Solution and SomaFlux, two companies belonging to the same corporate group, willshare a booth to present a comprehensive portfolio of solutions focused on industrial efficiency, productivity, and process reliability. Soma Solution will showcase technologies for coding, industrial inspection, processing, and packaging, while SomaFlux will present its range of vacuum pumps, low-pressure blowers, and a new line of synthetic lubricants developed for industrial applications. SomaFlux equipment is used in operations requiring precise pressure and flow control, including pneumatic conveying, thermoforming, extruder degassing, and wastewater treatment systems. MTF Termoformadoras will showcase thermoforming machinery that combine specialized engineering, automation, and customized project development. . MTF projects are tailored to meet customers’ specific production requirements, considering production capacity, material characteristics, and market demands. MTF says that Industry 4.0 technologies are fully integrated to the company’s solutions. Its equipment incorporates advanced control, monitoring, and automation features, allowing for greater operational precision and continuous process optimization, the company claims. |
