Solutions for Thin Wall Injection Molding
Save Material and Reduce Cycle Time
With over 20 years’ experience of thin wall injection molding, we have designed two dynamic and high-precision powerhouses - our hybrid and all-electric machines e-speed and e-motion. They are especially suited for applications with high or extreme flow-path to wall-thickness ratios.
For the requirements of thin wall injection molding, we have developed a clamping unit with an encapsulated five-point toggle. This not only ensures dry cycle times of well under two seconds, but also perfect cleanliness in the mold area. All moving elements, as well as the ejector, are sealed and prevent the formation of oil mist or dirt accumulation.
Water-cooled servo-electric drives make the injection molding machine the perfect synergy of efficiency and maximum performance. Reproducible cycles ensure consistent part quality for your thin-walled plastic parts.
We offer dynamic and precise all-electric and hybrid injection units for the production of thin-walled plastic parts. Screws and non-return valves, optimized for thin wall injection molding, ensure a smooth production flow - even with recycled material. Especially for geometries with extreme flow-path to wall-thickness ratios.
Short cycle times require machinery with high dynamics. Large batch sizes mean continuous operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Like our machines, our service team is available 24/7. If downtime occurs, production of thin-walled plastic parts can start up again quickly.

As a producer of plastic packaging, ENGEL trusts our opinion. Suggestions from our side are part of machine development.
Our experts will be happy to advise you.
The performance of electric injection units is constantly increasing. Even challenging applications such as the lid of a thin-walled container can now be produced on fully electric injection moulding machines.
The combination of the special ENGEL coinmelt process with a stack mold enables competitive unit costs with low energy consumption.
The weight reduction of thin-walled packaging due to reduced wall thickness is an ongoing topic in the packaging industry. This makes higher demands on injection molding machines.
Why do we recommend optimizing the injection molding process? By comprehensively and critically evaluating the process and the production conditions, you get an efficient production flow for more stability and performance.
Greiner Packaging was able to reduce wall thickness of food containers by a quarter with e-speed injection molding machines from ENGEL. At the same time, efficiency was increased. Climate neutrality is the goal of the Austrian packaging manufacturer.
