As a small business looking to scale, the idea of manufacturing your own parts from recycled plastic is exciting. However, even through the material is free, the time to prepare and change over moulds can make it a costly exercise. Until now! What we love so much about this machine is the genius clamping & injection system. Ultimately this minimises mould changeover time and brings the cost to produce to a scaleable amount. Very stoked and even more excited to see what other businesses can do with this technology.
Dive into the world of artistic expression thanks to plunger-driven colour mixing within the machine barrel, where vibrant hues gracefully intertwine, turning every product you create into a unique and mesmerising piece featuring the colour swirls Precious Plastic products are so famous for!
Embark on a journey of boundless creativity with our Pro-Series Injection Machine. Witness the magic as shredded plastic enters the hopper, undergoes a transformative heating process through a precision-engineered barrel, and emerges into your product mould as a bespoke masterpiece. Experience reliable and precise production output, unlocking the potential for extraordinary upcycled creations.
Features:• Spring-loaded, height-adjustable barrel for seamless adjustments and precision crafting• Rack and pinion mechanism ensures optimised pressure for powerful leverage and professional results• Gears seamlessly convert rotation into linear motion for efficient operation• Boltable design guarantees a stable foundation for reliable injection moulding• Easy-to-mount, relocatable electrical box provides flexible setup• Premium quality stainless steel hopper designed to withstand the test of time
Our digital solutions support the injection mould sampling. The result: a production-ready, process-stable mould. Innovative software products help to achieve the specified moulded part quality more quickly and easily. The mould and the process settings can be optimised and efficiently prepared for series production.

We offer reliable and precise linear and multi-axis robots for demanding production requirements and environments. As part of the automation portfolio, our robots are optimized for injection molding and are available in a wide range of payloads and reaches. They ensure high productivity and effective parts handling.
Digital solutions support you with the design and component construction of your plastic products. Based on a realistic simulation, you can define a suitable production concept and tool. Plastic component construction is optimised for its injection moulding capability. Intelligent software programs facilitate component design.
Our sturdy, reliable and energy-efficient sprue pickers guarantee fast and precise removal of sprues. They can be easily integrated into your production cell. Application-specific load carrying capacities make our pick-and-place robots ideal for more efficient production.
It has also been a fantastic tool for education purposes due to it's simple nature - very easy for kids to visualise the recycling process at schools/events!
Our business has had this machine for three months and in this short time we've been able to garner community support for the program and deliver recycled plastic products to our customers. We've seen huge growth in our recycling program due to this machine.
The product includes all appropriate power switches and warning labels. Please note: This machine is fitted with safety features, however it's important to understand that these machines are dangerous, and proper safety measures must be implemented.
We integrate articulated robots from leading robot manufacturers. The robots are designed for precise positioning paired with the maximum degree of freedom to execute highly repeatable motions. Whether you require particularly flexible automation or must meet special requirements, such as for the cleanroom.
Digital service solutions ensure higher availability and more output in production. With predictive maintenance systems, you detect wear and avoid unplanned downtime. The customer portal provides an overview of your plants. A team of ENGEL hotliners rectify faults quickly and globally with the remote maintenance tool, 24/7. Application engineers optimise your injection moulding processes
Australian made: We build high quality machines fit for purpose and compliant with Australian Safety Standards. Knowledge and support: Our machines are built by people who use them! And, if you do happen to need additional assistance, we offer post-purchase support - a pretty important factor when you're investing in equipment.
Expertise in injection molding automation at all levels: From the injection molding machine to the robot and conveyor systems to peripheral equipment. All processes and elements are perfectly coordinated. You can rely on the best part quality, stable processes and high productivity.
ENGEL has been building high-performance cartesian robots, also called gantry or linear robots, since 1980. Our viper robots are the perfect addition to your injection molding machine. The innovative and sturdy design offers increased payload capacity with low dead weight. The digital solutions from our inject 4.0 program ensure that all movements are aligned.
What an amazing machine! When we first got our Injector our main priority was to make sure the Machine was safe, especially considering the people using it were going to be young men and women with disabilities - But the Pro Series Injector is such an incredible machine that is so safe and efficient - it is by far the most popular machine we have in the factory! Could not recommend enough! 11/10
