The ENGEL Group starts the global roll-out of the WINTEC e-win and introduces technical enhancements in two-platen series
With the
global roll-out of the all-electric e-win series, WINTEC expands the worldwide
availability of this standardised series for energy-efficient injection
moulding production outside Asia. The machines cover clamping forces from 1000
to 5000 kN and are designed for standardised production solutions with high
cost efficiency.
Image 1: The all-electric WINTEC e-win injection
moulding machines stand for precise, energy-efficient injection moulding
production. Processors benefit from stable processes, high component quality
and low unit costs.
The
all-electric drive technology provides precise and dynamic control of all main
movements. This leads to high repeatability of all movements and ensures high
reproducibility as well as stable shot weights. For processors, this means
consistent component quality even during long machine running times and within
narrow process windows.
Energy consumption decreases, as energy is only required during the actual movements. This allows energy costs to be significantly reduced compared to hydraulic machines. At the same time, the use of hydraulic oil is eliminated, which reduces maintenance effort and downtime and keeps the production environment clean.
The e-win is thus designed for applications in which high output, stable processes and low unit costs with high cost efficiency are the primary focus.
ENGEL
duo: higher performance with reduced complexity
At the same
time as the roll-out of the e-win, ENGEL has restructured the portfolio of the duo
two-platen injection moulding machines. The series
remains available in the clamping
force range from 4500 to 55000 kN, larger machines up to 110000 kN have already
been realised and even larger ones are also possible.

injection moulding machines expand the usable mould space and increase
flexibility in production. This reduces investment costs and facilitates the
cost-efficient implementation of demanding applications.
The portfolio has
been technically revised in order to meet market requirements even more
effectively. The available clamping forces in the updated portfolio increase by
up to 28% with the same platen sizes. This makes it possible to realise
applications with higher performance requirements on the same machine platform.
In addition, wide-platen versions for the duo 1000 and duo 2100 have been newly added. The enlarged platens expand the usable mould space and enable the use of larger moulds within the same machine class. This increases flexibility in production and reduces investment costs.
WINTEC t-win: increased injection performance for higher productivity
The WINTEC t-win
two-platen injection moulding machines have also been further developed as part
of the portfolio revision and are now globally available with clamping forces
from 4500 to 40000 kN
Image 3: The WINTEC t-win two-platen injection
moulding machines offer high injection performance for large-volume components.
This shortens filling times, increases productivity and ensures cost-efficient
series processes.
The new
injection units have up to 38% higher injection performance. This shortens
filling times and expands the range of applications, particularly for
large-volume or demanding components.
In addition,
iQ weight control plus supports process control by automatically compensating
for fluctuations in material viscosity. This increases consistency in series
production and reduces scrap.
The t-win is
consistently designed as a cost-efficient and robust two-platen machine for
standard-oriented processes. It combines a standardised machine concept with
reliable technology and offers high availability. With around 2000 installed
machines, the series has established itself worldwide.
