The dynamic machine for thin-wall applications
e-speed 280
Direct processing of rPET in thin-wall injection moulding
Together with our partners ALPLA Group, Brink and IPB Printing, we are presenting a quantum leap for the packaging industry at K 2022. For the first time, thin-walled containers can be produced directly in injection moulding from PET and rPET in just one process step. An ENGEL e speed injection moulding machine with a newly developed, extremely powerful injection unit will be used for this purpose. This significantly expands the range of applications for PET and rPET.

R-Cycle
R-Cycle documents the properties during production and makes this data available to improve the sorting process at the end of the life cycle.
For this cup, a digital product passport was created in R-Cycle that records relevant information during sorting, grinding, granulating, labelling and injection moulding.

CO2 footprint: an opportunity for the plastics industry15 June 2022Rising energy and raw material prices see plastics processing companies face new challenges. "Reducing the CO2 footprint even faster gives companies leeway. Competitiveness and resilience are boosted," as Dr. Gerhard Dimmler, CTO of the ENGEL Group, emphasises in the run-up to K 2022. "ENGEL is the role model when it comes to solutions that save CO2 in injection moulding. And that is precisely what we are demonstrating in Düsseldorf this October."
