Technical specification:

• All-electric injection moulding machine (type: e-motion 200/100, Engel Austria GmbH).
• Screw diameter 30 mm; L/D ratio 20.5
• Clamping force 1000kN
• Gravimetric metering (Type: DDW-MD2-DDSR20/28-5, Brabender Technologie KG)
• Mechanical premixing (type: MISCHER DX4, digicolor GmbH)

Application as direct injection moulding compounding (SGDC)

• Compounding and injection moulding are combined in one process
• Plastic formulations are prepared and processed into the component in one process step
• Less damage to fillers and reinforcing materials leads to improved mechanical properties

Accelerated formulation development with SGDC

• New plastic formulations are developed quickly, efficiently and economically
• Formulations are tailor-made according to the product properties
• Resource conservation through reduced material and energy use in formulation development

Resource efficiency as a production process

• Transport costs and emissions are reduced through the sourcing of basic materials
• Intermediate steps (packaging, storage, commissioning) are eliminated in the transport chain
• Potentially high energy savings at the economic level, as the plastic is only melted once
