Solutions for plastic water management systems
Reliable production of large plastic components
For high shot weights and large molds, we offer innovative machine concepts and solutions for manufacturing your plastic water management systems. With extensive experience, we have successfully delivered numerous projects, including plastic infiltration shafts and soakaway crates, inspection chambers and wastewater manholes, rainwater cisterns and tanks. Benefit from our expertise, flexible production, and high-quality components.
Plastic water management systems Areas of application
 "Patrick Grüner | ENGEL")
Together, we will find the right solution for manufacturing your plastic water management parts.
-

Manufacturing water management components weighing more than 100 kg
-
Up to 30% energy savings in recycled material processing
-
Stable production thanks to digital solutions
-
Increase cost efficiency with injection molding processes
-
Flexible production thanks to modular clamping and injection units
-
Global availability
Two machine series have proven their effectiveness in the production of plastic water management systems:
duo: ENGEL two-platen machine
t-win: WINTEC two-platen machine
The compact and flexible design of these injection molding machines allows for highly efficient operations while minimizing space requirements.
Thanks to our in-house development and production of plasticizing components, we can achieve screw diameters of up to Ø 260 mm. This allows you to reliably produce plastic water management systems with part weights exceeding 100 kg. Additionally, you benefit from consistently high plasticizing performance, short cycle times, minimal scrap and low wear.
Recycled materials are playing an increasingly important role in the production of plastic water management systems. To minimize both the footprint and energy consumption of the system, the two-stage process is utilized. In this process, regrind is fed directly into the injection molding machine, eliminating the need for re-pelletizing. Depending on the application, this can save up to 30% in energy.
The intelligent assistance system iQ weight control regulates every injection process during production. It adjusts the injection volume and calculates the switchover point within the same shot, compensating for fluctuations in each cycle. This reduces part weight variation by up to 85%. Your benefits in the production of plastic water management systems: more stable processes, improved part quality, faster startup after mold changes, and precise repeatability - even when using recycled material.
By intelligently utilizing injection molding processes, you can save on material and weight while actively contributing to the sustainability of your plastic water management components. The following processes provide optimal solutions for resource-efficient production and high-quality results:
You get maximum flexibility thanks to perfectly coordinated machine combinations. We develop solutions precisely tailored to the needs of your plastic water management systems. Our wide range of clamping and injection unit combinations guarantees the optimal solution for your water management components.
With 9 production plants in Europe, North America, and Asia, as well as subsidiaries and representatives in over 85 countries, we ensure a strong global presence. Our ENGEL service team is available 24/7 worldwide, either on-site or remotely.

Production of a utility shaft for water management
The two-stage process enables the production of large shot weights within a compact footprint while minimizing energy consumption. On an ENGEL duo 2700, a plastic utility shaft with a shot weight of 18.5 kg is manufactured for water management applications.

Examples of plastic water management components and possible production solutions
Soakaway crates for the controlled infiltration of rainwater
Water shaft for wastewater distribution, inspection, maintenance, or service work
Accessible utility shafts made of reinforced or unreinforced plastic
Plastic rainwater tank
Size comparison between a plastic rainwater tank and a car
Part of a technical shaft is produced on a duo 2700
With a clamping force of 80,000 kN, large plastic parts for water management can be efficiently produced
Example of the arrangement of injection units for the two-stage process
The two ENGEL duo 130000/130000H/8200 combi US machines were placed at Infiltrator Water Technologies (IWT) in Winchester, Kentucky. The subsidiary of Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) produces water management products there.
