The range extends from the standardised entry-level model e-mac fast track to the highly flexible e-mac and e-motion to the high-performance e-cap and e-speed, which are specially optimised for the packaging industry. The integrated encapsulated toggle of the injection moulding machines - in the clamping force range from 300 to 6,500 kN - is the optimal solution especially for applications in the cleanroom.

We know how diverse the requirements of our customers and the products they produce are. At ENGEL, we see ourselves as a total solution provider. We support our customers in their challenges. Our injection moulding machines stand for efficiency, quality and reliability.

Ergonomics is the top priority for this injection moulding machine. The different clamping systems enable ergonomic overmoulding of inserts. Thanks to the wide range of options and the flexible machine concept, the machine can be adapted to your individual requirements.

The cost of plastic machining materials is another essential factor to consider before making a final decision. While Acetal may be too expensive for some projects, less costly materials, such as Nylon, may not provide the required machinability. Finding a balance between your needs and budget can help you identify the right material for the job.

Before selecting a plastic machining material, you should understand the needs of your machining project. Different plastic materials have unique properties that may not work well for your needs, so identify the desired outcome before starting the machining process.

Plastic machining is popular in many industries. As a manufacturer or business owner, you should know the different types of plastic materials and how they affect the machining process. The desired outcome, environmental conditions, and costs can affect your material selection. With these tips for choosing the best materials for plastic machining, you can make an informed decision.

Our product portfolio ranges from 280 kN to 55,000 kN clamping force. It includes hydraulic, hybrid and electric or horizontal and vertical injection moulding machines. From quickly available stock machines to machines that can be customised to the maximum to high-precision systems with the shortest cycle times.

Our two-platen injection moulding machines are characterised by an extensive clamping force range on the smallest footprint. The range extends from 3,500 to 55,000 kN clamping force: from the entry-level t-win model to the individually adaptable duo tech and the fast duo speed. The duo series is among the most energy-efficient of its kind - with up to 55% less energy consumption compared to machines without servo hydraulics.

The range extends from the standardised entry-level model e-mac fast track to the highly flexible e-mac and e-motion to the high-performance e-cap and e-speed, which are specially optimised for the packaging industry. The integrated encapsulated toggle of the injection moulding machines - in the clamping force range from 300 to 6,500 kN - is the optimal solution especially for applications in the cleanroom.

Compact, energy-efficient and consistently high part quality: the victory series - from 280 to 5,000 kN clamping force - offers you the perfect modular system for the production of diverse technical parts. The patented force dividers, which distribute the clamping force evenly over the entire clamping surface, guarantee consistently high part quality, even with multi-cavity moulds. In addition, the proven tie-bar-less technology allows the use of a relatively small injection moulding machine even with large moulds. In this way, you only invest in the clamping force that is actually required and save valuable production space in the process.

When choosing the right machine, the customer's requirements are the most important factor. ENGEL therefore bases the classification of its machines on the following customer requirements:

Choosing the appropriate plastic machining materials can be challenging, even for experienced manufacturers. When in doubt, consult an experienced plastic machining professional who can provide insights and recommendations. These experts have comprehensive knowledge of the different types of plastic materials, their properties, and how they affect machine processes. Then, you can make sure the final product’s quality matches your expectations.

With a precisely matched temperature control solution and our digital assistance systems, additional energy-saving potential of up to 67 % can be exploited.

Environmental conditions are other important factors to consider when choosing plastic machining materials. Exposure to sunlight, high temperatures, and excessive humidity can affect the integrity of the final product. Select materials that can withstand these environmental conditions so you can complete your project without issue.

Whether hydraulic, hybrid or fully electric: ENGEL injection moulding machines are among the most efficient on the market. Servo-hydraulic machines already consume less than 60% of a hydraulic injection moulding machine with a fixed displacement pump. With all-electric injection moulding machines, power consumption can even be more than halved on average.

The machinability of plastic materials affects their quality. Materials with low machinability are challenging to work with and may reduce tool life, increase machining time, and ruin surface finishes. Choosing materials such as Acetal, a popular machining plastic, is important due to its tight tolerances, smooth finishes, and reduced chances of warping.
