The new “ergo” machine series is ground-breaking in production of high-precision parts in manual or fully-automated configuration. It is the original MAPLAN FIFO rubber injection unit and is available in classic or ergonomic version with a full hydraulic clamping unit and ergonomic working height.

Rubber injection moulding machines with optimal ergonomic working height for fully automatic production of highly sophisticated technical rubber and silicone parts

Maplan ergonomic Machines for production of highly sophisticated technical rubber, silicone, metal rubber and 2-component parts. With the extensive product range of peripheral handling units, the machines can be upgraded to become complex and fully automated production cells.

Product range

Production of moulded parts from rubber, silicone, metal rubber, and multi components up to 8600 cm3.

The one and only plane parallel

Optimal mould clamping by eliminating deflection of the injection-side fixed plate, maximal plate support by the massive clamping cylinder.

Ergonomic working height

no pedestals needed.

Full automation

Movement of mould plates to front and rear including demoulding devices, brushing devices and robots for loading and unloading.

The Maplan FIFO Rubber injection unit

  • FIFO injection unit concept
  • Short nozzle for max. injection pressure directly into the mould
  • Cooled nozzle - no nozzle retraction necessary and therefore no leaks
  • Ergonomic strip intake height
  • Easy changing and cleaning of materials by moveable check valve
  • Adjustable backpressure function
  • Oil temperature control for plasticising unit, injection chamber and nozzle
  • Constant L/D ratio

Standard equipment

  • Maplan FIFO rubber injection unit with short, cooled nozzle for high precision and injection capacity, easy cleaning
  • Large heating plates and clear width, hence more cavities and easy demoulding
  • PC5000touch Control
  • High resolution ultrasonic linear encoder system for best reproducibility
  • Fast reaction, energy saving, hydraulic pump with proportional pressure / flow control
  • dual circuit cooling unit (thermo oil) for plasticising cylinder and injection chamber
  • Machine covers with integrated light shield for highest safety and ergonomics
  • Maintenance-free, contactless safety switches
  • Solid state relays for heating zones
  • Oil filter, oil level control and oil temperature control
  • Electronic backpressure adjustment
  • Oil cooling
