Plastics & plasticizing: Our all-in-one solution

The demands on plasticizing in the processing of plastics are constantly increasing. Our task is to investigate the needs of our customers regarding the challenges of tomorrow.

This is exactly what Günther Klammer, Head of Plasticizing Systems & Recycling, is working on together with his team. They are responsible for both the development and manufacturing of the plasticizing units, as well as for your process engineering advice.

The team combines a wide range of expertise: including metallurgy, rheology, plastics technology and much more. Our experts are continuously researching the complex physical and chemical interrelationships of plasticizing processes to ensure your success with plasticizing plastics in the future.

We know that when it comes to quality issues in plastic injection molding, the plasticizing process takes center stage. That's why we don't let the manufacturing of the heart of your injection molding machine out of our control.

• We manufacture up to 90% of the plasticizing components ourselves in our large-scale machine plant in St. Valentin, Austria.

• Around 12,000 screws and barrels, which are manufactured for the plasticizing of plastic parts, currently leave our factory every year.

• We offer screws, locks and cylinders with diameters from 15 up to 260 mm.

• The number of plasticizing screws produced is to be doubled by 2030.

In order to meet our high-quality standards, we are heavily involved in the development of many production machines ourselves.

With us, every single component involved in the plasticizing of plastic parts is of the same high quality.

Reliable quality control is guaranteed for each manufactured part. The production parameters of the machines are monitored in real time, the data is collected and recorded in complete documentation. This allows us to avoid quality fluctuations during production. We combine high internal manufacturing capacities with lean production processes. This enables us to ensure consistently high quality and fast, global spare parts deliveries.

Our experts consider the components for plasticizing plastics holistically and in interaction with the other parts of the injection molding machine. We thoroughly evaluate your requirements and look for a tailored answer to your challenges. In the end, you should walk away from the table with the feeling that you have received from our experts not just components, but a comprehensive solution for your specific needs.
