Intelligent processes for improved efficiency and sustainability

System solutions from a single source

In addition to injection moulding machines and robots, many processing technologies and digitalisation solutions at Engel are in-house developments. In one Expert Corner of its stand, Engel is highlighting the benefits this offers for injection moulders. As a system supplier, Engel bears the overall responsibility for the production cell, and this includes system components which are implemented in collaboration with partners. Operators can turn to Engel as a central point of contact to accelerate project engineering, start-up and service calls for manufacturing cells in active production.

As a long-standing partner, TMA Automation, based in Gdynia, Poland, is also exhibiting at Plastpol 2022. One of the automation specialist's focuses is on in-mould labelling processes in the mid-range performance segment. TMA Automation became a member of the Engel Group in March this year.

Lecture for students at 12 o'clock every day

In line with its long-standing tradition, Engel Polska is inviting students to a presentation at its booth at 12 o'clock on each day of the Plastpol fair. This year, one focus is on the topics of sustainability and the circular economy.

For many years, Engel has been one of the strong drivers of the circular economy for plastics. This is expressed equally in the form of Engel's strong social commitment and innovative technological strength. The aim of the research and development work is to open up a wider range of applications for processed plastic waste. One approach to doing this relies on smart assistance systems which reliably identify and compensate for fluctuations in the raw material, even when processing recycled material. The digitalisation of injection moulding is essential for a value-preserving circular economy for plastics.
