Arburg will take part in Interplast 2026, which will be held from 25 to 28 August 2026 in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil. At stand B15, the company will officially present the new Allrounder Trend series to the Brazilian market. According to the manufacturer, the standard electric machine was designed with the needs of the Brazilian and South American markets in mind. During the trade fair, an Allrounder 1800 e Trend injection moulding machine will be shown producing 48 polypropylene screw caps in a live demonstration.
The significance of the event for the company is commented on by Alfredo Fuentes, Managing Director of Arburg Ltda. in São Paulo: "The trade fair's focus on sustainability, circular economy, advanced manufacturing and innovation is also in line with our objectives." He adds that the main highlight of the presentation will be the new Allrounder Trend, which, according to the company, is intended to offer a favourable price-performance ratio. The Arburg representative also points to the company's offering in the areas of automation, digitalisation, energy efficiency and sustainable manufacturing.
The application on display is intended to demonstrate energy-efficient and cost-effective high-volume production. The electric Allrounder 1800 e Trend with a clamping force of 1,800 kN will produce PP screw caps intended for the packaging and pharmaceutical industries. In one cycle, 48 moulded parts weighing 1.4 g each will be produced, with a cycle time of nine seconds. According to the company, real-time monitoring and control of key process parameters are the basis for achieving optimum process stability and production reproducibility. The application is intended to address current requirements for higher productivity, resource conservation and high process reliability in modern manufacturing environments.
At Interplast 2026 in Brazil, the new Allrounder Trend standard electric machines will make their debut in Brazil and South America
Electric Allrounder Trend for standard applications
The electric machines in the Allrounder Trend series are intended for standard applications across various industries, and delivery times are expected to be short regardless of destination. The manufacturer indicates that these machines can be set up quickly, are intuitive to operate and easy to maintain. It also points to low investment and operating costs, as well as energy efficiency class 8+ in accordance with Euromap 60.1, which is intended to support day-to-day profitability in plastics processing plants.
At market launch, four versions with clamping forces from 500 to 2,000 kN are expected to be available. All Trend machines will be equipped with the new Gestica lite control system, including an intuitive user interface and a clearly designed operator dashboard. In automated injection moulding production, Allrounder Trend machines can be combined with all Arburg robotic systems and suitable compact safety guarding, with full integration into the machine control system. They can also form part of more complex turnkey systems. In addition, they can be connected to a higher-level MES, such as the Arburg computer management system, ALS.
The importance of Interplast for the Brazilian market
Arburg views Interplast as an important platform for the Brazilian injection moulding industry. Alfredo Fuentes emphasises: "This event plays a crucial role for the plastics industry in Brazil and South America, because it provides a platform for technology demonstrations, knowledge exchange and the assessment of the market suitability of new products. We look forward to in-depth discussions with customers and partners and are keen to see how trade fair visitors react to our new Trend standard electric machines."
