Small effort, big outcome. With the original quality insulating mats by ENGEL, you can insulate the barrel of your injection molding machine simply and effectively. In this way, you sustainably save up to 40% heating energy.

Increased productivity due to up to 55% less downtimes. ENGEL oil maintenance ensures constant oil quality and a clean hydraulic system. Sustainably avoid unplanned downtime, wear, maintenance, and spare parts costs by retrofitting an oil maintenance unit. A clean hydraulic oil additionally results in higher energy efficiency.

Customize your machine to make it fit for new applications quickly and cost-effectively. You can expand core pulls, integrate peripherals or optimize the quick clamping devices. With fast available retrofits, you increase the flexibility of your machine and 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.
