Solutions for Plastic Fittings
Reproducibly Processing Demanding Materials
There are many challenges in the production of plastic fittings and pipe systems. Bulky molds and frequent mold changes make smooth production more difficult. For processing standard fitting materials such as PVC, PP, PE, and PE100, as well as high-performance thermoplastics like PSU, PPSU and PVDF, we offer the right injection molding machines, plasticizing units, and the expertise you need for your products.
- Compact, tie-barless injection molding machines with large mold space
- Increased machine availability thanks to quick mold changes
- Processing demanding materials
- Flexibility through a wide range of clamping and injection unit combinations
- Flexible automation for your specific production requirements
- Extend tool life with digital solutions
Molds for plastic fittings are often very large but require low clamping force. Our tie-barless victory series and the compact duo two-platen machine have a large and easily accessible mold space. You only invest in the clamping force that the mold needs. For bulky injection molds, our duo machine comes in wide-platen versions with platens that are approximately 20% larger but have the same footprint.
Frequent mold changes can reduce the productivity of your injection molding machines. The large and easily accessible mold area of our victory and duo series allows for a quick mold change. In addition, the set-up assistant simplifies the changeover process for your personnel with step-by-step instructions and semi-automated processes. You reduce your downtime and increase your productivity.
The range of plastics used to produce fittings is broad - from standard PP and PVC to high-performance thermoplastics such as PPSU. Each material presents its own unique demands on both the machine and the operator. At ENGEL, we develop our plasticizing systems in-house. This allows us to provide the right components for every material. You benefit from our in-depth expertise in processing high-performance thermoplastics and challenging materials.
Our perfectly matched machine combinations offer you maximum flexibility. With our broad portfolio and the ability to individually combine clamping and injection units, you get exactly the machine you need for producing your plastic fittings. Our wide selection of configuration options ensures the ideal solution for your specific requirements.
Whether it’s pick-and-place applications with integrated conveyor belt placement, inserting seals, or overmolding inserts - our automation solutions are highly versatile for the production of your plastic fittings. The automation system is fully integrated into the CC300 machine control and comes CE-certified from the factory. Programming and parameter setting are carried out directly via the control system - easily and safely through an intuitive user interface.
If mold breathing is too high or too low, it can lead to defective parts due to burns or flash formation - and increased tool wear as a result. The intelligent software iQ clamp control automatically calculates the optimal clamping force for your molds. This not only saves energy and reduces rejects, but also extends the service life of your tools.
