KraussMaffei is one of the world's leading suppliers of machines, systems and solutions for the production and processing of plastics and rubber. KraussMaffei's range of products and services covers all aspects of injection moulding, extrusion, and reaction technology.
Thanks to new, improved material characteristics, silicones are being used in ever more applications in modern plastics processing. Silicones are highly transparent, easy to fit, temper-free and antibacterial. Furthermore, the number of self-adhesive systems is also continuously growing. New industries, such as the consumer goods industry, also recognize the added value achieved with the improved look and feel of their products. SilcoSet technology makes KraussMaffei's hydraulic, electric and hybrid machines with clamping forces of 25 to 420 metric tons suitable for silicone processing - even as a retrofit. Turnkey solutions even provide a complete system, including the injection mold and peripherals.
The processing of liquid silicones, so-called LSRs, is particularly demanding. The consistency of LSR varies from water to honey and demands absolute platen parallelism to ensure that the mold closes extremely tightly and an injection molding process that is sophisticated to the finest detail.
The 1-component HTV is a solid silicone that comes in the form of rectangular blocks before it is processed. The art lies in processing the modeling-clay-like consistency without forming bubbles, which is guaranteed among other things by the intelligent design of the material feeding unit.
The material characteristics of silicones are as varied as the industries in which they are used. KraussMaffei knows these properties very well and can support you with process expertise and machine technology from decades of experience.
Only the concentration of expertise will produce success in the long run, especially in demanding applications such as silicone processing. As one of the first processors, KraussMaffei has gathered well-founded experience in processing silicones. Here, we combine our process knowledge with our own automation and gripper technology.
