Solutions for plastic water management systems
Reliable production of large plastic components
For high shot weights and large moulds, we provide you with innovative machine concepts and solutions for the production of your plastic water management systems. Our experience is reflected in the numerous projects we have delivered, including sewage chambers and stormwater boxes, inspection and drainage chambers, rainwater cisterns and tanks. Benefit from our expertise, flexible production and the high quality of your components.
Plastic water management systems Areas of application
 "Patrick Grüner | ENGEL")
Together we will find the right concept solution for the manufacture of your plastic products for water management.
-
Efficient production on a minimal footprint
-
Manufacture water management components weighing up to 100 kg
-
Up to 30% energy savings in recyclate processing
-
Stable production thanks to digital solutions
-
More economical production through the use of injection moulding processes
-
Maximum flexibility thanks to extensively combinable clamping and injection units
-
Global availability of systems
Two machine series have proven themselves in the manufacture of plastic water management systems:
duo: ENGEL two-platen machine
t-win: WINTEC two-platen machine
The compact and flexible design of these two injection moulding machine series enables you to produce efficiently on a minimal footprint.
Thanks to our in-house development and production of plasticising components, we can realise screw diameters of up to Ø 260 mm. You can use it to reliably produce plastic water management systems with part weights of up to 100 kg. You also benefit from a reliably high plasticising performance with short cycle times, low scrap and little wear.
Recyclates are increasingly being used in the production of plastic water management systems. In order to minimise the footprint and energy requirements of the system, the two-stage process is used. The regrind is processed directly at the injection moulding machine. By eliminating regranulation, you save up to 30% energy, depending on the application.
The intelligent iQ weight control assistance system regulates every injection process during production. It corrects the injection volume and calculates the switchover point of the injection moulding process in the same shot. Fluctuations are compensated for in each shot. This reduces the scattering of the moulded part weight by up to 85%. Your benefits in the production of plastic water management systems: more stable processes, increased part quality, faster start-up after mould changes and exact repeat accuracy, even with recycled applications.
Through the intelligent use of injection moulding processes, you can save on material and weight and actively contribute to the sustainability of your plastic water management components. The following processes offer you an optimum solution for resource-saving production and high-quality results:
With us, you have maximum flexibility thanks to perfectly harmonised machine combinations. We develop solutions that precisely meet the needs of your plastic water management systems. Our wide range of possible combinations between clamping units and injection units guarantees you the optimum 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 are present worldwide. Our ENGEL service team is available for you 24/7 globally, on site or remotely.

Production of a technical chamber for water management
With the two-stage process, large shot weights can be realised on a small footprint with low energy consumption. A plastic technology chamber with a shot weight of 18.5 kg for water management is produced on an ENGEL duo 2700.

Examples of plastic water management components and possible production solutions
Infiltration box for the controlled infiltration of rainwater
Water shaft for waste water distribution, inspection, revision or service work
Accessible technical chambers made of reinforced or unreinforced plastic
Plastic rainwater tank
Size comparison between a plastic rainwater tank and a car
Part of a technical chamber is produced on a duo 2700
With a clamping force of 80,000 kN, large plastic parts for water management can be realised
Example of an arrangement of the injection units for the two-stage process
The two ENGEL duo 130000/130000H/8200 combi US machines have been put into operation at Infiltrator Water Technologies (IWT) in Winchester, Kentucky. The subsidiary of Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) produces water management products there.
