Insertion and unrolling of the packaging material (i.e., a special material composed of paper, polyethylene plastic and aluminum) on the bending rollers through the injection molding module of the machine Task 2. Cleaning of the nozzles of the injection molding module of the machine This procedure is performed by the operator every 30 minutes and requires about 10 minutes to complete the task.
