Horizontal injection molding machine e-duo

electrichybridgas-assisted

Overview
The e-duo is a two-platen hybrid injection moulding machine from ENGEL designed for economical series production of large, high-precision parts. It combines a servo-electric injection unit with a servo-hydraulic clamping unit to provide precise injection control, long holding pressures and reduced energy consumption. The series is optimised for long flow-path components and decorated large-volume packaging (IML, gasmelt).

Applications

• Large-volume decorative packaging (IML) and gas-assisted decorated parts
• Automotive exterior and interior large components
• Large precision parts for electronics, medical and technical moulding

Key components & technologies

• Servo-electric injection unit — precise, dynamic control enabling high injection speeds and extended holding pressures.
• Servo-hydraulic clamping unit — two rigid cast platens, four exposed tie bars and short-stroke cylinders for a clean mould area and secure mould retention.
• Integrated machine control CC300 — modern operator logic, configurable operation and full robot/peripheral integration.
• Hybrid drive concept (ecodrive) — electric injection with servo-hydraulic clamping to optimise energy use.
• Digital solutions (ENGEL inject AI) — process monitoring and smart control to reduce rejects and improve efficiency.

Benefits

• High injection speed (up to 450 mm/s) for fast, accurate filling of large molds.
• Compact overall layout despite large platen spacing and long opening stroke.
• Potential for significant energy savings through hybrid drive and intelligent device/process communication.
• High part quality and reproducibility via servo-electric drives and precise control.
• Seamless integration of robots and peripherals into the machine cell.
