Biggest ever KM at Weber
German machinery maker KraussMaffei has commis- sioned its largest ever injection moulding machine – a 5,500 tonne two-platen model supplied to Weber of Germany for production of waste containers up to 1,100 litres capacity. The new MX Series machine
is part of a major investment in production capacity at Weber’s plant at Renish Haan that also included the installation of a 4,500 tonne MX Series unit. Both machines are supplied with KraussMaffei’s integrated LRX1000 robots, which offer a maximum stroke of 3m.
Key factors in the decision
to buy the MX machines are said to have included the sturdy machine bed and platens and generous sliding support shoes. These are claimed to help maintain a high level of platen parallelism with Weber’s bulky moulds, which can weigh up to 150 tonnes. “KraussMaffei not only
stayed within standards when designing the machines, but also provided the perfect response to our specifi c requirements. That was a clear benefi t,” said Weber managing director Helmut Guntermann.
