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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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
