Retrofits for Machines and Robots in Injection Moulding
Rapid Modernisation or Adaptation of Existing Plants
ENGEL systems produce reliably for decades. Nevertheless, they can be retrofitted as needed to meet new production requirements. Efficiency and flexibility are the driving aspects here. Our retrofit machine solutions offer you the opportunity to upgrade existing injection moulding systems and robots to meet new challenges. Targeted upgrades increase the service life of the system.
With ENGEL Retrofits you can retrofit your machines and use them for new applications. Would you like to implement a new project on your existing injection moulding machine? We offer a wide range of services, from individual conversions to comprehensive modernisation of the plant. Whether engineering, manufacturing or assembly at your site - everything is handled by our team of experts. This allows you to keep pace with new production requirements.
Refurbishments, as a type of retrofit for machines, brings your equipment up to date with latest technology. Our refurbishments for injection moulding machines enable increased energy efficiency and reduced power consumption through retrofit solutions. In addition to a reduced carbon footprint in your production, upgrading to new control and drive technology allows you to utilise the full potential of the equipment. You will keep your existing injection moulding machines and robots running cost-efficiently for years.
Investing in new equipment is not always the only sensible choice. Instead of a new purchase, retrofits modernise your existing machines to keep them in operation. We offer you individual and modular retrofit solutions for injection moulding machines and robots from a single source.
A variety of standardised retrofits for your machines are available for you at very short notice. The predefined packages are delivered in original equipment quality. Thanks to retrofits, you can easily and quickly upgrade your injection moulding machine to optimise production at the latest level or adapt it to new requirements.
Our service experts analyse your individual needs for machine retrofits and advise you on your options for machine modification, automation and increased efficiency. They ensure that the retrofits of your injection moulding machine are matched to existing processes and your peripherals. During the retrofit, our experienced technicians take responsibility for a smooth implementation. In addition, you can count on the support of our application engineers.

If you want to optimise your injection moulding process or use a new application on an existing machine, a plasticising retrofit can be a practical solution. Our experts will search for application-specific plasticising components and advise you on your options.
Do you want to utilise the full potential of a new ENGEL system on existing machines? Do you need a uniform operating philosophy for your production? Would you like to use the possibilities of modern digital solutions? The ENGEL software team will develop an individual, application-specific retrofit solution for your machine. For every challenge, every machine age and every control unit generation.
A machine retrofit with digital solutions supports you in optimising your injection moulding processes. From component design and sampling to production and maintenance & service. Our digital retrofits enable significant improvements in process quality and reduced wear. You achieve a higher output of your injection moulding production.
With our retrofit solutions for your automation, you are prepared for new challenges. ENGEL offers you expertise at all levels: injection moulding machine, robots and conveyor belt systems through to third-party peripherals. Everything from a single source with a clear responsibility. Retrofitting your automation ensures increased efficiency, stable processes and part quality as well as high flexibility.
Our standardised and proven solutions for multi-component injection moulding are available as fully integrated retrofits. Technologies for injection units, a wide range of unit sizes as well as plasticising systems are precisely matched to your application. You benefit from high parts availability, direct service and application engineering support. Fully integrated or as a flexible solution for different systems. We have the right retrofit solution for your machines.
Small effort, big effect. With the original quality insulating mats from ENGEL, you can insulate the barrel of your injection moulding machine simply and effectively. In this way, you save up to 40% heating energy in the long term.
Increased productivity through up to 55% fewer failures. ENGEL oil maintenance ensures constant oil quality and a clean hydraulic system. Sustainably avoid unplanned downtimes, wear, maintenance and spare parts costs by retrofitting an oil maintenance unit. A clean hydraulic oil also promotes energy efficiency.
Customise your machine to make it fit to produce new applications quickly and cost-effectively. You can expand core pulls or mould shut-off nozzles, retrofit quality packages, integrate peripherals, have automatic cylinder cleaning installed or optimise the quick-clamping devices. With quickly available retrofits, you increase the flexibility of your machine as needed and thus expand the range of applications.
The cable retraction system improves work safety in production. The robust housing is made of impact-resistant plastic, the mounting bracket of sheet steel. The cable pulley is spring-loaded to retract the cable. Correct rewinding keeps the cable clean and undamaged.
