C.A.PICARD^® Japan participated in the IPF Japan 2023 (International Plastic Fair) from 28 November to 2 December 2023. 

Usually, the IPF Japan is held every three years. However, it was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus and held as an online exhibition. So, the real IPF exhibition was held for the first time after six years.

IPF Japan gathers a variety of raw materials, machines, moulds and services relating to the plastics and rubber production. This time, C.A.PICARD^® Japan participated in the extrusion area.

About 35,000 people visited the exhibition in five days. More customers than expected also visited our booth.

We exhibited the following items:

• BMD (Barrel Measurement Device): the high efficiency of our BMD by providing accurate information on barrel wear and analytical reports (presented via promotional film)

• FDS (Flexible Dismantling System) with PLC control to dismantle the screw elements from the shafts efficiently with full protection for the screw elements, the shafts and especially the operators without risk of injury (presented via promotional film and a small model of the FDS)
  The machine will be introduced at the C.A.PICARD^® Kawaguchi premises at the end of 2023. We promoted the efficiency and advantages of it to the visitors and invited them to visit our premises to see the machine on site.

We thank everyone for the good conversations at the IPF Japan 2023 and look forward to seeing many guests again at our booth at the Plastic Japan in Osaka from 8 to 10 May 2024.
