Injection moulding machines for processing thermoplastic Elastomers, highest product quality, user friendly, low maintenance

Maplan injection moulding machines for processing thermoplastic elastomers (TPE).

The compact design ensures the highest degree of precision, reproducibility and ease of maintenance. The proven injection unit concept features integrated hydraulics and hydraulic direct drive of the screw.

TPE injection unit

The TPE technology for cost-effective production of thermoplastic elastomer parts. Technological leadership, ease of operation and maintenance, highest precision, compact design.

Product range

Production of moulded parts from TPE (ThermoPlastic Elastomers) at injection volumes up to 144 cm3.

Technology

Most modern FEM calculations help optimise the machine's base frame to achieve max. rigidity and thus minimal bending. The symmetrical arrangement of the nozzle carriage cylinders guarantees torquefree nozzle contact with the mould.

Process technology

Superior melt homogeneity due to constant L/D ratio of 22:1 and high injection pressures up to 3000 bar.

Control technology

The PC50touch control with intuitive touch screen interface opens up new dimensions in optimising the injection moulding process.
