ENGEL will present the Wintec e-win 1800 all-electric injection moulding machine at K 2025, marking the series' first European appearance. Based on the proven architecture of the ENGEL e-mac, e-win targets the small and medium-tonnage standard machine segment, combining a compact footprint and high precision with short delivery times and a competitive price-performance specification. The platform brings together parallel all-electric movements, robust mechanics and standardised engineering derived from ENGEL's high-end portfolio. The result is a cost-efficient solution for series production that maintains stable processes and supports a long-term, future-proof investment in the standard machine class. At the show, an e-win with 1,800 kN clamping force will run an eight-cavity mould for flip-top closures in random PP with a 32 g shot weight, cycling in under 10 seconds and aiming for consistent part quality.
Focus on cost-efficient, all-electric production
The Wintec e-win combines established ENGEL technologies with consistent standardisation to enable economical series production. The all-electric machine supports precision and parallel movements, a robust mechanical design and high energy efficiency, alongside short delivery times. In the target segment, the series is positioned to provide high productivity and stable processes with an optimised footprint.
Injection unit for repeatable performance
Nozzle movement is powered by an electric ball screw drive in combination with a belt drive. Two ball screws enable fast and uniform injection with high repeatability. This configuration shortens cycle times, provides centric and precisely adjustable contact force at the nozzle, reduces the risk of material leakage and supports consistently high part quality. A swivelling injection unit facilitates quick and straightforward screw changes.
Clamping dynamics and guidance
The clamping unit uses a drive system consisting of a servomotor, ball screw and belt drive to achieve high power transmission efficiency and dynamic response, delivering dry cycle times in line with market standards. A 5-point toggle lever mechanism allows large opening strokes and automatically adjusts the mould installation height. The reinforced frame structure on the moving platen minimises deformation, optimises force distribution and enables burr-free parts. Linear guides operate with minimal friction, reducing maintenance, improving machine cleanliness and enhancing reproducibility.
Digital assistance and control
The series supports ENGEL's digital assistance systems. The machine features iQ weight control, which analyses filling behaviour on every shot and adjusts the holding pressure curve in real time within the same cycle. This compensates for fluctuations in material viscosity and can reduce scrap by up to 50 percent, contributing to higher productivity and lower part costs. Wintec uses the proven C3 control system, which shares the same user interface as ENGEL's CC300, aiding fast familiarisation for existing and new operators.
All-electric precision, reduced operating costs and up to 50% less scrap with iQ weight control: The compact Wintec e-win delivers cost-effective series production at a consistently high quality level.
Ejector system and mould space
The ejector is driven by a servo system with two ball screw spindles, providing high ejector force, high system stability and low maintenance requirements for durable, reliable processes. Large platen surfaces and near-frictionless movement on linear guides enable the use of large-format moulds while maintaining excellent platen parallelism. This supports longer mould life and consistent part quality.
Demonstration at K 2025
The e-win 1800 will be demonstrated as a compact production cell for closures at K 2025 in Düsseldorf, Hall 15, stands B42 and C58. The exhibit is intended to highlight fast, economical production with stable processes in a standardised, all-electric package.
With the Wintec e-win, injection moulders can target lower reject rates, reduced operating costs and minimal maintenance while maintaining high precision and stable processes in a compact footprint. The combination of ENGEL technology with consistent standardisation and digital assistance such as iQ weight control aims to deliver cost-effective series production at a consistently high quality level.
