The Powerful, Large Two-platen Injection Moulding Machine in a Compact Design The Big One - Injection Moulding Machine duo

The efficient ENGEL ecodrive servo-hydraulics ensure high economic efficiency in the production of large-volume or large-area parts. It is included in the standard scope of the entire duo series. Thanks to the demand-based pump output, the motors are at rest and do not consume any energy when the machine is at a standstill during cooling, for example.

The duo is a large, versatile injection moulding machine based on a modular principle with compact external dimensions – saving valuable floor space in production. Depending on the machine size, it now offers up to 28% more clamping force with the same tie-bar distance. This maximises the possibilities for mould design, and additional applications can also be used within the same floor space.

Our digital solution iQ clamp control automatically determines the optimum clamping force. This reduces mould wear. Mould breathing is always kept within the ideal range and scrap is reduced.

The modular plasticising unit reduces set-up times and increases machine availability. The rapid barrel change takes place without special tools and shortens downtime. With a flexible nozzle concept and optional set-up assistant, changeover processes are simplified. Interfaces close to the mould via a media plate which enables an efficient mould connection. This speeds up setup, reduces sources of faults and ensures high productivity on large injection moulding machines.

The duo’s high-performance injection and plasticising units enable perfect layout for a wide range of applications. In combination with the multi-circuit hydraulics, which performs main and secondary movements in parallel, movement sequences are optimised and cycle times reduced. The high-performance CC300 control unit coordinates all processes precisely and ensures fast and stable machine performance. This enables the shortest cycle times and maximum productivity.
