ENGEL at the Drinktec 2013 in Munich
Energy efficiency at the highest level
Schwertberg, Austria – August 2013. ENGEL’s appeara nce at this year’s Drinktec trade
fair, which takes place in Munich from 16th to 20th September, will focus on maximum
output combined with minimum energy consumption. Th e Schwertberg (Austria)
based injection moulding machines manufacturer and expert in automation will
feature an ENGEL e-cap 3440/380 with a 72-cavity mo uld by the Austrian toolmaking
specialist z-moulds from Dornbirn producing 1.8 gra m closure caps for still water
(UCL Design 28 mm PCO 1881). Cristalpet in Montevid eo (Uruguay) already runs this
application in high-volume.
Especially developed for cap production, the ENGEL e-cap series of high-performance, all-
electric injection moulding machines offers the ultimate in efficiency. Thanks to the unique
all-electric concept with an injection unit in premium execution, a platen ejector with
increased ejector force and the increased clamp speed, ENGEL e-cap machines reach cycle
times of well under three seconds (depending on the type of closure). Outstanding process
stability and precision maximise the number of good parts. Even with such impressively high
performance values, the ENGEL e-cap achieves considerable savings on energy and cooling
water, thereby cutting unit costs significantly. The series is available with clamping forces of
between 100 and 420 tons.
Efficient production, made in Austria
At the Drinktec show, ENGEL and its partners will present an fully automated production cell
based on a 380-ton machine with integrated quality control. The patented z-slides®
technology from z-moulds minimises cycle times while ensuring ease of use and highly

efficient production. The cap cooler is provided by Eisbär (Götzis/Austria) and the camera-
based control system, which ensures 100% quality control, by INTRAVIS (Aachen/Germany).
ENGEL supplies highly integrated and automated system solutions from one single source.
Because, only if all system components are coordinated from the outset efficiency potential
can be fully exploited. To ensure this, ENGEL cooperates with leading companies around the
world. In this regard, ENGEL of course takes over turn-key responsibilities also for those
components being supplied by above mentioned partners. For ENGEL, efficiency begins
during the project set-up.
